##node.js driver for korg VOLCA BEATS vintage analogue synthesizer

###Introduction

###Installation

npm install volca-beats

###Usage Examples must be compiled using babel or another compiler and run in the browser, as volca-beats uses theweb midi` api. You can still use the note codes and parameter codes available if you want to create a node-based library. ####Quick Start Example

import { transmit, Message, Note } from 'volca-beats';
transmit(Message.NOTE_ON(Note.KICK), window.performance.now() + 1000);
/* kick drum will sound in one second */

####Sequence With JavaScript, then Playback with VOLCA BEATS

let time = window.performance.now();
for (let i = 0x00; i < 0x7F; i++) {
    let fn = n=>n>>(i%0x20)&1;
    if (fn(0x51111141)) transmit(Message.NOTE_ON(Note.KICK),time + i * 0x40);
    if (fn(0x60105010)) transmit(Message.NOTE_ON(Note.SNARE),time + i * 0x40);
    if (fn(0xf5555555)) transmit(Message.NOTE_ON(Note.CL_HAT),time + i * 0x40);
}
/* plays back a catchy drum beat */

###Reference ####Note A dictionary containing references to the hexadecimal codes to sound each note.

import { transmit, Message, Note } from 'volca-beats';
console.log(Note.SNARE) //0x26
transmit(Message.NOTE_ON(Note.SNARE));

####ParameterCode A dictionary containing references to each parameter code recognized by VOLCA BEATS.
