At this level
at.atmosynth · 14- at.atmosynth.arrangement record An arrangement: tracks of clips over one timeline, mixed through busses into a master, with the tempo, the meter and the key it is counted in. Its instruments and effects are patches held inside it whole, and what it took from other people's records it holds as copies that remember where they came from. Parts that other people wrote for it in their own repositories are included by address.
- at.atmosynth.audioClip record A recording as it is placed in an arrangement — cut, faded, warped to the beat — published on its own to be taken into anybody's arrangement.
- at.atmosynth.chain record Effects in order, published on their own to be dropped onto anybody's track or bus.
- at.atmosynth.collection record A collection of synth patches, held in its creator's own repository: a title, a description and the patches it gathers — the creator's own or anybody's — in the order they are listed.
- at.atmosynth.defs defs What the arrangement, its tracks, its clips, its effect chains, its samples and the parts offered to it share: musical time, credit, reuse, and the objects an arrangement holds inline and every one of them also publishes as a record of its own. Time here is counted in ticks, 960 to the beat, a beat being a quarter note whatever the meter says. A patch's own patterns keep the 96 to the beat the patch description counts in, so a pattern copied into a clip is multiplied by ten and loses nothing.
- at.atmosynth.like record A like of a synth patch, held in the liking account's own repository — the shape of app.bsky.feed.like, for a subject that is an at.atmosynth.patch.
- at.atmosynth.module record A reusable synth module: Web Audio nodes wired together, with declared audio and MIDI boundaries, exposed parameters, automation and sample slots. Each published version is its own record; records sharing a moduleId form a series.
- at.atmosynth.noteClip record Notes published on their own — a chord progression, a bassline, a drum groove — to be taken into anybody's arrangement and played by whatever instrument it is placed under.
- at.atmosynth.part record Tracks written for somebody else's arrangement, held in the repository of whoever wrote them. Nobody can write into another account's repository, so a contribution is offered rather than added: it names the arrangement it is for, and becomes part of that arrangement only when the arrangement's creator includes it by address. It stays its writer's, under their name, and what they change in it changes what the arrangement plays.
- at.atmosynth.patch record A synth patch: which modules it uses, how they are wired, what their parameters are set to, and how it is played. A patch plus the module records it pins is everything needed to reproduce it.
- at.atmosynth.patchPresentation record How a patch is drawn: where its blocks stand, and its frames. It is kept beside the patch rather than in it, and nothing in it changes what is heard, so whatever only plays a patch never reads it. A field that only says how a patch is drawn belongs here, never in the patch.
- at.atmosynth.performance record A performance: everything one person or several played together on a patch, in the now, kept whole. Every note, every move of a parameter and every other change to the patch, each by whoever made it, on one timeline, with what it sounded like. Whoever played in it and recorded it keeps it, in their own repository, with everybody else's playing in it; several of them may each keep their own.
- at.atmosynth.sample record A recording published to be found and used: a one-shot, a loop or a longer take, with what is known of its time and pitch. A recording used only inside an arrangement is a blob of that arrangement and needs no record; this is for sharing one.
- at.atmosynth.track record One track published on its own, to be taken into anybody's arrangement: its instrument or recordings, its clips, its effects, its mix and its automation, exactly as an arrangement holds a track.
