Programming (music)

Programming is a form of music production and performance using electronic devices and computer software, such as sequencers and workstations or hardware synthesizers, sampler and sequencers, to generate sounds of musical instruments. Programming has been used in most electronic music and hip hop music since the 1990s. It is also frequently used in "modern" pop and rock music from various regions of the world, and sometimes in jazz and contemporary classical music.

Not to be confused with program music.

Music programming is the process in which a musician produces a sound or "patch" (be it from scratch or with the aid of a synthesizer/sampler), or uses a sequencer to arrange a song.

gollark: So, enjoy 5ms better latency?
gollark: Then I moved it nearer the magic wireless box™, and thought I plugged in the cable, but as it turns out made a mistake as it didn't click in properly. So now it is TRULY ethernetted.
gollark: Initially, it was over WiFi in another room, which I *think* is why the connection dropped out a bit.
