Functional Composition
summary
Uses Overtone to build instruments from a sine wave through envelopes, harmonics and detuned partials, implements MIDI→Hz (12th root of two) and scale functions, sequences notes as maps (pitch, time), schedules playback with beats-per-minute, and composes delayed/interval/mirror/crab transforms to produce a functioning canon (Graphable as layered parts). Demonstrates the model on Bach’s Canon, edits tempo/key/scale in code, and stores the code on Git (playable, reproducible).
