lowquo

Small music software, made by one person.

lowquo is a one-person project making instruments that are easy to learn, reasonably priced and light enough for the computers people already own.

Keep the instrument in front.

I like software that feels direct: load a sound, press a key and hear something happen. Fewer layers, fewer accounts and less time spent setting things up.

That does not mean stripping out the useful parts. It means being careful about which parts earn a place.

Two instruments are underway.

lq-12 is an eight-track, 12-bit sampler and sequencer built around the computer keyboard.

lq-fm is a six-operator FM synthesizer with a signal path you can follow while you edit.

The notes page is where I write about what has changed, in plain English.
