@dave: For your interest, I've finished the first draft of my 20 min presentation, it's up on github. Any corrections welcome, along with any comments about things I might have missed that you think is specially important. https://github.com/jimcheetham/alda-lca2016mmm
there's some info about that here: https://github.com/alda-lang/alda/blob/master/doc/list-of-instruments.md#percussion
one thing to note is that alda has technically been around since 2012, but i didn't open-source it until sometime in 2014, and the first "release" wasn't until august 2015
i'm really digging this presentation! your examples are great, and you have a good flow about explaining each feature of the language
would you accept a pull request? i can think of a couple tweaks i can make to your alda examples to make them better illustrate some of these features
i might also take a stab at a proper midi percussion example, now that we have that ability in alda
Thanks for the PR Dave, it's been actioned. I'll happily include more details around the dates/history, that will fit well. Next I'll give the presentation an explicit licence (probably cc-by) so you can re-use parts in different contexts.
A good percussion example would be nice, as would something that plays through all the available instruments (rather like a font sample page of "the quick brown fox ...")
@yjmbo: sounds good! i was thinking of editing your ace of spades example to use MIDI percussion for the drums
there's a list here: https://github.com/alda-lang/alda/blob/master/examples/percussion.alda
OK, so there's also the named instrument e.g. 'midi-woodblock' approach, how does that relate?
