textbeat

Textbeat is a plaintext music sequencer that allows users to compose music in a column-based format, similar to early music trackers, using a text editor like Vim. Key features include support for various musical techniques such as strumming, arpeggiation, and MIDI CC automation, along with flexible MIDI integration for different operating systems. The tool is designed for musicians seeking a lightweight and scriptable way to create and manipulate music compositions interactively.
