I used Overtone a bit when it first came out and was blown away by the demos, but the docs are (or were) a bit sparse and having a “This is how you get going” intro here is very helpful.
I also tried overtone awhile back but since I found out about the creators and their newer Sonic-Pi project, I’ve shifted gears to that. I’m still a total beginner but the Ruby syntax is almost as approachable as the Closure, to my eyes.
Yes, I agree that the docs are pretty sparse, but hopefully that will soon no longer be the case. I am still experimenting with it and testing to see which features we have available and which should be made. Today I wrote a follow-up to this article, it describes how to set up VS Code with Calva for Overtone live coding, maybe it’ll be helpful.

Hey thanks for writing this. Great article!

Have you produced any great music with it yet?
