The Matrix Tracker Architecture, nicknamed MATT, is a project which seeks to implement an efficient, versatile, and relatively minimalistic framework, for music production, playback, and intermediate representation, both for ahead-of-time rendering and realtime playback, with an unique support for dynamic events.
== Vision
Despite being developed with video games and other such dynamic scenarios in mind, MATT also seeks to reformulate the process of music production itself, giving the artist more control without overbearing them with tecnical or mathematical minutia when it is not necessary to, whilst simultaneously faciliating the cultivation of intuition for usage of the tool as well as the crafting of sound.
Not only does it focus on an efficient and slick backend, MATT also wants to bridge the gap between artistic vision and production, by providing features that are easy to reason with, tools that are intuitive in their shaping of sound (in particular granulators), and a simple but perniciously powerful interface to orchestrate these many moving parts into a magnificent composition.
== Planned Features
To see a list of planned features, please see the project's to-do list.
== Project Status
Despite being a part of Codename Corrosion, its status relative to the main DAW project's engine is unclear. It exists in a state of half competition, half cooperation, testing the viability of ideas that could be integrated into the Codename Corrosion DAW, whilst providing its own framework for those.
At the moment, MATT is a big work in progress; some parts of it are not even thoroughly planned or sketched yet. Please stay tuned for more updates!
== Licensing Mojo
This project is currently licensed under the MIT License. There are plans to harden it with copyleft, such as through the GNU GPL, or another copyleft license, in a future where this project shapes up more substantially. Again, stay tuned for that!
