I'm a little lost in the bewildering array of music packages for Haskell, and need some help.
I'm looking to recreate one of my algorithmic music compositions from the 1980s. I can easily code the logic in Haskell.
I'm looking for a the right set of packages and SW so that I can:
a) generate short sequences and play them immediately, preferrably in ghci,
-- but 'runHaskell Foo.hs | barPlayer' would be acceptable
2) generate MIDI files
I'm on OS X.
So far what I've found is: Haskore, the midi package, and the jack package - and then I'd need some MIDI software synth for the Mac, and Jack based patcher.... Or perhaps I want SuperCollider, and the Haskell bindings - but that seems rather low level for my needs here (I don't really need to patch together my instruments, and I don't want to have re-write the whole timing framework from scratch.)
So - What's a quick easy path here?
