🔭 What can you do with Mercury?

Are you not sure if Mercury is for you? Maybe after reading this you have a better idea:

  • Giving you a quick and hands-on coding environment/language to express, communicate and improvise livecoded works.

  • Giving you an environment to learn and/or teach:

    • Introduction to (electronic) music

    • Algorithmic composition techniques

    • Sequencing and pattern generating

    • Sound design

    • Creative coding and live coding

  • Giving you a hands-on language to control realtime processes

    • Code sound and music

    • Code visuals and let them react to sound

    • Control external processes of other software and hardware

  • Giving you an extensive library of algorithmic composition techniques

  • Giving you a multi-purpose non-linear-sequencer

    • use OSC-messages to communicate with other platforms

    • use MIDI-messages to communicate with other platforms and devices

  • Giving you a quick-to-use sampler/synthesizer for sounddesign and composing

    • use external OSC-messages to control parameters in the samplers/synthesizers

    • use external MIDI devices and messages to play the sampler/synthesizers (coming soon...)

  • Allowing you to run the software directly in the browser

  • Allowing you to collaborate in Mercury via the browser with Flok to code music together

  • Allowing you to join the Mercury users-community of live coding enthousiasts that can help you with your journey
