Cool! I used your code to play along with my guitar and slightly modified it to change the key whenever I please:

# Tempo
use_bpm 40 #

# Tonalidade / Key
TONALIDADE = :fs # Define a tonalidade da música / Defines the song's key
ESCALA = scale(TONALIDADE, :major) # Gera a escala baseada na tonalidade / Generates the scale based on the key

# Função para calcular graus da escala com oitava
# Function to calculate scale degrees with octave
def grau(n, oitava = 4)
  nota_base = ESCALA[n - 1] # Nota no grau da escala / Note in the scale degree
  nota = nota_base + (oitava - 4) * 12 # Ajusta para a oitava desejada / Adjusts to the desired octave
end

# Função para construir acordes baseados nos graus e oitavas
# Function to build chords based on scale degrees and octaves
def acorde(grau, oitava, tipo = :major)
  chord(grau(grau, oitava), tipo)
end

live_loop :back do
  use_synth :prophet
  play grau(1, 3), release: 20, cutoff: 60, amp: 1
  sleep 20
end

live_loop :bass do
  use_synth :fm
  play acorde(1, 4, :major).choose, release: 0.25, cutoff: rrand(50, 80)
  sleep [0.5, 0.25].choose
end

live_loop :drums do
  sample :drum_heavy_kick
  sleep 0.5
  sample :drum_snare_hard
  sleep 0.25
  sample :drum_cymbal_closed
  sleep 0.25
end

live_loop :melody do
  use_synth :piano
  play_pattern_timed [grau(1, 3), grau(1, 3), grau(6, 3), grau(7, 3), grau(6, 3)], [0.25, 2, 0.5, 0.25, 1]
  play_pattern_timed [grau(2, 3), grau(5, 3), grau(4, 3), grau(5, 3), grau(5, 3)], [0.25, 2, 0.5, 0.25, 1]
  play_pattern_timed [grau(4, 3), grau(4, 3), grau(5, 3), grau(6, 3), grau(7, 2), grau(1, 2)], [0.25, 2, 0.5, 0.25, 1, 4]
end

Your code is really cool! Thanks for sharing!

Hello,

I just listen and look at your code… it is great!!!
I definitely need to learn little of music theory to make longer melody. Your functions will be a good start.

Take Care

Very nice! Like how you get the crunchy chords in the piano.
