JMSL Examples

Java Music Specification Language Demos These introductory demos demonstrate hierarchies, scheduling, shape data and its interpretation, all of which are central to JMSL. Some make their activity known through text output or flashing colors instead of audio. Others make sound using JSyn (you will need the JSyn plug-in for these). While JMSL does support MIDI for local applications, these applets do not demonstrate them, pending the development of a midi plug-in for browsers.

Composable Classes and Hierarchies

MusicJob Demo

MusicJob is the root executable class in JMSL. MusicJob does something repeatedly over time.

Parallel Collection Demo

Two MusicJobs in a parallel collection, performing in synch.

Behavioral Collection Demo

Two MusicJobs in a sequential collection. The collection acts "behaviorally", randomly choosing a MusicJob each repeat.

Shape Data and its Interpretation

MusicShape Demo

MusicShape is a core data structure in JMSL, which holds ordered abstract numbers. Display a MusicShape in Shape Editor, play it with a printing interpreter.

Instrument Demo

Perform MusicShape data as RGB color values.

MIDI Instrument Demo

Perform a self-transforming MusicShape with JavaSound MIDI.

JScore: JMSL's Music Notation Package

JScore Demo

Programmable music notation package for JMSL.

JScore Composition Loader Demo

Demonstrates loading a JScore composition from a server into a live editor.

JScore Composition Loader Demo #2

Demonstrates loading a JScore composition from a server into a live editor. This uses sample playing instruments.

JScore Composition Loader Demo#3

Demonstrates loading a JScore composition from a server into a live editor. This demonstrates new Signal Processing Instruments (instruments on various staves being processing by instruments on other staves).

JScore Import Demo

Import and notate music from a text file. Provides a way to notate algorithmic music created in other languages.

JMSL/JSyn Applications

MandelMusic

Play the iteration path of complex numbers on the Mandelbrot Set.

Algorithmic Animation

Actors move around and make sound

SeqGenDemo

QueueDemo

Uses QueueCollection to perform shapes using a Chebyshev WaveShapingOscillator.

TuningNoodler1

Play melodies on FM instrument using dynamic tuning.

Speedy

Control the playback speed of a collection of MusicJobs who play JSyn instruments.

Miscellaneous Utilities Included in the JMSL Package

Grain Maker

Use JMSL to generate a CSound score file.

Event Distributions Demo

Distributes events using Logarithmic and Myhill distributions

Event Distributions Demo (JSyn)

Hear the Myhill distribution perform densities

Bessel Functions Demo

Graphs Bessel functions of integer order.

Scrollbar Demo

A more stable scrollbar.
