an experimental live-codable modular synthesizer.

• main site at kabel.salat.dev
• docs at kabel.salat.dev/learn

You need nodejs v22 and pnpm. Then run pnpm i to install dependencies.

1. pnpm build to build the site
2. pnpm preview to serve the build

• pnpm dev run the dev server
• pnpm test run tests

npm login

# this will increment all the versions in package.json files of non private packages to selected versions
npx lerna version --no-private

# publish all packages inside /packages using pnpm! don't use lerna to publish!!
pnpm --filter "./packages/**" publish --dry-run

# the last command was only a dry-run. if everything looks ok, run this:
pnpm --filter "./packages/**" publish --access public

There is an experimental "Desktop" version, which serves the built site as a binary (<10MB). It's without UI, so you still have to open it in your browser, but it's self-contained, so it works offline and all code is baked into the binary.

pnpm build # build site to website/dist
# make sure you have go installed
pnpm build-bin # builds all binaries
./bin/kabelsalat-darwin-arm64 # run site
# go to http://localhost:8080

Currently it builds Linux and MacOS binaries, but adding others should be trivial.

This project is a monorepo with the following packages:

• core core graph language + compiler
• lib the standard library
• transpiler optional transpiler
• web web related functionality
• cli experimental node version
• codemirror codemirror integration
• graphviz graphviz integration

Most audio nodes and the compilation strategy is based on noisecraft. Also, the following projects have been an inspiration in one way or another:

• supercollider
• strudel
• hydra
• genish
• wax
• doughbeat
• doughbat
