ReaCollider | SuperCollider 3.13.0 Help

Introduction

ReaCollider allows one to create Reaper Projects from SuperCollider.

The following abstractions exist:

ReaProj - Used for creating projects and adding tracks to them.
ReaTrack - Used for creating tracks and adding media items to them.
ReaItem - Used for creating a representation of a media item. Includes meta data about it's placement, duration and other properties.

Each of the abstractions allow the use of properties. For more information about these properties, see this link. All of the properties are used in the form of a dictionary with the name of the property being the key and the value being a string in that key.

Here is an example of using properties to set an item( var project = ReaProj.new; var props = ( NAME: "coolItemName", LOOP: "1", // Playrate, int (bool) preserve pitch, pitch adjust, pitch shifting mode PLAYRATE: "0.5 0 0.000 -1" ); var track = ReaTrack.new(); var item = ReaItem.new( source:Platform.systemAppSupportDir +/+ "sounds" +/+ "a11wlk01.wav", start:0, length:10, properties:props ); track.addItem(item); project.addTrack(track); )

Examples

Simple example: Creating a project

This example creates a Reaper Project, adds 100 tracks to it and places an item on each of those tracks

*/
(
var projectPath = "~/tmp/reacollider-%.RPP".format(Date.getDate.stamp).asAbsolutePath;
var project = ReaProj.new;
var numTracks = 100;
var tracks = numTracks.collect{|i|
    var props = ();

// Track name
    props.put(\NAME, "supercollider_track_%".format(i));

ReaTrack.new(props)
};

// A sound source
var aSoundSource = Platform.systemAppSupportDir +/+ "sounds" +/+ "a11wlk01.wav";
var sourceInfo = SoundFile.openRead(aSoundSource).close;

var itemProperties = (NAME: PathName(aSoundSource).fileNameWithoutExtension);
var itemPlacement = 0;

// Create an item from the sound source
var anItem = ReaItem.new(
    source:aSoundSource,
    start:itemPlacement,
    length:sourceInfo.duration,
    properties:itemProperties
);

// Add tracks
tracks.do{|track|
    track.addItem(anItem);
    project.addTrack(track)
};

// Create the project
project.write(projectPath);

// projectPath.openOS;
