SpaceMusic DNA pipeline

What it is

In SpaceMusic, DNA is the master list of every parameter (each slider, switch and value). A generator, SMCodeGen, turns that list into C# code and into a file that describes each control screen, so the screens are built from the list and not by hand (docs).

For us: You change a parameter once in DNA (DNA (Directus)) and run the generator, and the code and UIs follow. The SpaceMusic-dna-editor repo is the Directus interface plus ideas for making DNA editing easier. Two small tools sit around it: SpaceMusic-TreeDiagram shows the parameter hierarchy as a tree, and SpaceMusic-SidebarTester tries out sidebar menus with the real parameter data.

How to start

1. Change parameters in DNA.
2. Run generate-params.bat in the SpaceMusic repo to regenerate code and specs.
