About Dittytoy

Dittytoy allows you to create generative music using a minimalistic javascript API.

The API syntax is loosely based on the syntax of Sonic Pi. You can find the full Dittytoy API Reference here.

If you don't like reading documentation and want to see sample code, then these ditties give a good overview of the capabilities of Dittytoy.
