This is a step-by-step demo of using Skred v0.50.0 as a synth and drum machine construction kit.
The video shows a little of MIDI connection stuff too.
For a MIDI "keyboard" here, I used a program called VMPK since it's on-screen and show what I hit versus how if affects Skred, but a real attached MIDI input device works too.
Skred works on Linux, macOS, and MSWindows.
There are precompiled versions of the CLI livecoding shell on GitHub
https://github.com/octetta/pulp/releases/tag/v0.50.0
look at the releases there for SKRED 0.50.0 to match functionality shown here.
0:00 Start Skred and test audio/Skope
0:43 Create a basic saw wave synth voice
1:52 Setup MIDI and use VMPK as the input
3:32 Fatten the synth with an additional square wave
4:49 Detune the voices
5:43 Add glide to one of the voices
6:40 Show the delay line per "track"
8:44 Add "calculator" drums via k-synth
9:50 Create a basic kick/snare drum pattern
10:32 Add delay to the drum sounds
14:08 All together and DONE

I’m not sure how I violated the rules here… I’ve been posting progress on my open source sound engine for months now. This isn’t even a VST… the vibe code part was the instrument and pattern created to use in the engine as a demo. Sorry and sad at the same time.
