Names to voices: voice/2 turns a drum name, a note name, a MIDI number, hertz or a map of
controls into a TuningFork.Voice.

Summary
Functions
The drum names grouped by what they are, short name first.
A voice from a map of controls.
A sound as a TuningFork.Part instrument: a function that gives voice/3 of %{sound: name, note: note} for each note it is asked for, and of %{sound: name} for nil. opts
are voice/3's and controls any other controls to play it with.
Whether voice/3 plays name as a sound rather than a pitch: a drum, a waveform, a GM
instrument or a loaded bank, with or without an index after a colon.
The MIDI note a value stands for, or nil when it is not a pitch.
Start fetching, in the background, every recording and soundfont the values would play.
Values are what voice/3 takes; anything else is skipped. Returns at once.
The voice for value, lasting seconds.
Functions
@spec banks() :: [String.t()]
The sound banks voice/2 knows, sorted.
iex> "RolandTR909" in TuningFork.Kit.banks()
trueThese are adjustments to the drums this kit synthesises, so bank("RolandTR808") gives the
long booming kick that name is known for while the recording registered as
RolandTR808_bd has not arrived, or where there is none. A name not here changes nothing,
so a pattern written for a bank that is not loaded still plays.
@spec drums() :: [String.t()]
The drum names voice/2 knows, sorted.
The drum names grouped by what they are, short name first.
iex> TuningFork.Kit.families() |> Keyword.keys()
[:kick, :snare, :hat, :tom, :cymbal, :percussion]Names in the same group make the same sound; "bd" and "kick" are one entry.
@spec from_map(map(), number(), keyword()) :: TuningFork.Voice.t() | nil
A voice from a map of controls.
:sound or :note says what to play and is passed to voice/2; every other key changes the
voice that comes back. A map with neither is nil. A :bank plays the recording registered
as bank_sound when TuningFork.Sample.Bank has one, and is otherwise an adjustment to the
kit's drum (banks/0). A bank the kit does not have starts TuningFork.Strudel.defaults/1,
the sets such names come from: with wait: true (the default) the voice waits for them,
with wait: false it is the kit's drum this time.
@spec instrument(String.t(), number(), map(), keyword()) :: TuningFork.Part.instrument()
A sound as a TuningFork.Part instrument: a function that gives voice/3 of %{sound: name, note: note} for each note it is asked for, and of %{sound: name} for nil. opts
are voice/3's and controls any other controls to play it with.
part(bpm: 100, synth: TuningFork.Kit.instrument("gm_flute", 0.5))
|> play(:a4, 1)
Whether voice/3 plays name as a sound rather than a pitch: a drum, a waveform, a GM
instrument or a loaded bank, with or without an index after a colon.
iex> TuningFork.Kit.known?("gm_epiano1:2")
true
iex> TuningFork.Kit.known?("c4")
false
The MIDI note a value stands for, or nil when it is not a pitch.
iex> TuningFork.Kit.midi(%{degree: 4, scale: "g:minor"})
62
iex> TuningFork.Kit.midi(%{sound: "bd"})
nilA note may be a name as a string or atom, a MIDI number, or a map of controls carrying
:note or :degree. A drum name has no pitch, so it is nil. :octave moves the root —
3 is where a scale sits without one — and :transpose adds semitones after everything
else.
@spec notes() :: [String.t()]
Every note name voice/2 takes, low to high.
A name is a letter, s for sharp or b for flat, and an octave: c3, fs4, eb2.
@spec prefetch([term()]) :: :ok
Start fetching, in the background, every recording and soundfont the values would play.
Values are what voice/3 takes; anything else is skipped. Returns at once.
@spec voice(term(), number(), keyword()) :: TuningFork.Voice.t() | nil
The voice for value, lasting seconds.
Returns nil for a value naming nothing, so a pattern carrying words this kit does not have
plays the ones it does rather than failing.
