a text based approach when composing microtonal pieces as the piano-roll of a DAW feels a neat thing to suggest. i wonder if a python abstraction reading through a txt isn't better to suggest Csound? i have no idea how easy is to create a VST plugin, nor interest. either the way, i can't see myself enjoying the MIDI protocol. i was lured some months ago by a DAW but Csound having stuff like unique instruments parameters for each note makes it hard to ignore the light. for what i'm pursing, creating stuff feels quicker with Cscore but i haven't tried fancy piano-rolls with multiple instruments layers showing at the same time
what are the advantages of driving notes by a table? algorithmic compositions? i never messed with that!
yesterday i was ranting on how Csound makes verbose to craft a repetitive percussion (EDM like) but actually baking the sequence inside the instr with event and scoreline and a p-field driving an IF statement, in case one wants to alter some beats amidst the piece, that checks which "event/scoreline block" to play solves my anger.
the other thing was interpolating a parameter of an opcode globally but that's get rather easy with gVar and a separated instrument. definitely requires some cursor/screen movement to check values and time if the score gets too big
