Abstract

Moodler is a code-generating virtual modular synthesiser, implemented in Haskell, with a physical patch panel allowing users to generate audio synthesis code by physically connecting wires and adjusting potentiometers. In effect it is a compiler that compiles code written in a language of physical cables and knobs.
