Thanks

If you mean 'Xm' as any chord like Gm or Cm instead of 'X' then yes, ÆTHRA can kind of solve it.

Csound. ÆTHRA

Harder. Easier

More mature. Less mature

Made with C. Made with C#

Example code --

@Tempo(60)

@Scale("Minor")

@Reverb(0.7, 0.5)

@Chord("A3 C4 E4", 4, 0.6)

@FadeOut(5)

Bro you can Choose Sonic Pi if you need a mature, extensively documented system with a large community

Choose Aethra if you prefer a fresh, specialized language designed to make composing music easier, prioritizing readable, less technical code and coding pain

I didn't want to point out that any personal preference, I only wanted you to know about other projects, that you might gain insights from.

If I needed to create audio as part of an application I have been using SoX.

It is present in the GitHub AETHRA app

Yes, but it is a meaningless syntax sampler.

Good examples should be complete music pieces and they should be commented: where is important information? How are the numbers computed? How are commands organized? What is the practical workflow for making changes?

Example music (very basic, you can make way better) made using AETHRA -- https://audio.com/czax-studio/audio/aethra-example

Thanks bro. I am happy that you liked it I am very happy that you supported me

No problem I will tell you and after telling you I will also add a guide

AETHRA How to use it? First go to the GitHub link I gave you in the post. Download AETHRA or clone it. After downloading go to the folder named 'AETHRA' then go to bin then RELEASE and then to Net 10 Windows Folder. You will get an exe named AETHRA v0.8. After that start your Music Journey. To get all it's commands go to the GitHub project and read the README. You will get a built in AETHRA script, if it is working you are ready to go!

Thanks for your comment

People have been comparing it to Strudel, so I wanted to clearly explain the difference.

ÆTHRA vs Strudel (in short):

ÆTHRA is output-oriented: you write a script → run it → get a WAV file.

Strudel is performance-oriented: it’s browser-based live coding focused on real-time pattern manipulation.

Key differences:

Export

ÆTHRA has built-in WAV export (one click).

Strudel doesn’t natively export audio files; users usually record output manually.

Execution model

ÆTHRA renders audio offline (deterministic, no glitches).

Strudel runs in real time via the Web Audio API.

Use cases

ÆTHRA: game music, background scores, generative assets, scripting music like code.

Strudel: live coding, experimentation, performance.

Environment

ÆTHRA runs locally (currently Windows).

Strudel runs entirely in the browser.

Both tools are free, and they’re not trying to solve the same problem. ÆTHRA is meant to feel closer to a music compiler, while Strudel feels closer to a live instrument.

ÆTHRA is early (v0.8), but it already supports tempo, ADSR, chords, scales, loops, echo/reverb, live preview, and WAV export. I will update AETHRA soon and make it very powerful to reach v1.0

  >  ÆTHRA is output-oriented: you write a script → run it → get a WAV file.

You are competing with traditional noninteractive usage of CSound. What do you think you can do better than CSound? More generally, what are the peculiar and valuable ÆTHRA features that you want to develop well?

The current language is relatively verbose and readable (more suitable for live coding than for a "music compiler"), but somewhat simplistic and ad hoc on the notation side (e.g. no separate tracks, parts etc.) and not very general on the sound synthesis and processing side (e.g. fixed waveforms and keywords for effects).
