| #recently I've been reading up on chord progressions, and representing them with a Roman notation. | |
| #This code is the result! | |
| #revision 2. (Removed some extranous development stuff) | |
| #revison 3. (reallocated synths for arpeglinear, typo correction, changed amp: setting for arpeg random) | |
| #first set up hashes of symbols, giving offsets for their base note | |
