I built claw-daw: a tiny MIDI DAW you can drive from the terminal (TUI + headless scripts).

Motivation: I wanted “music making that feels like coding” — reproducible, diffable, and automation-friendly. Same script + same seed → same beat.

Features:

• offline (FluidSynth + SoundFont) + ffmpeg export • deterministic renders for iteration/agent pipelines • WAV/MP3/MIDI export • projects are JSON (Git-friendly) Would love feedback on the workflow + what features would make this actually useful for you.
