SynBrane

Experimental music workbench for exploring alternative tunings, browsing chords, and translating pitch information into rhythm. The app ships with a minimal browser UI backed by a Node.js API and a SuperCollider-ready boundary for audio rendering. A five-slot custom chord editor, expanded tempo/rhythm controls, and a groove-focused rhythm engine (four-on-the-floor kick/snare spine with hats and per-note tom/clap layers on slowed grids) are available out of the box.

Getting started

1. Copy .env.example to .env and adjust as needed.
2. Install dependencies (none required beyond Node.js; SuperCollider is optional when SUPER_COLLIDER_ENABLED=true).
3. Run the server:

   npm run dev

4. Open the reported URL (default http://localhost:3001) to use the UI.
