Description
Class containing utilities for interacting with SCAMP (Suite for Computer-Assisted Music in Python)
Class Methods
.instrumentFromSynthDef
Takes a SynthDef, adds it to the server, and sets up all of the relevant OSC listeners to receive messages from SCAMP. After passing a SynthDef to this method, play_note calls from SCAMP will result in the creation of new Synths in the server.
Arguments:
| synthDef |
A SynthDef with at least a "freq" or "pitch" argument, a "volume" argument, and a "gate" argument. MIDI pitch values will be sent to "pitch", hertz values will be sent to "freq", volume values will be sent to "volume", and start and stop note messages will be translated to the gate argument. |
| prefix |
If Nil, this instrument will list for messages prefixed by the name of the SynthDef. Otherwise, this argument can be used to set a custom message prefix. |
| initialArgs |
A list of arguments, similar to that passed to Synth, specifying the starting values of any arguments other than pitch or volume. |
| target |
Passed along to the target argument of Synth. |
| addAction |
Passed along to the addAction argument of Synth. |
.startSynthCompileListener
Listens for OSC messages containing SynthDef code strings, and passes them to instrumentFromSynthDef.
Arguments:
| path |
The OSC message address pattern at which to listen for SynthDefs |
| responseAddress |
The NetAddr to which a "/done_compiling" message is sent once the SynthDef has been added. |
.startRecordingListener
Starts listening for "/recording/start" and "/recording/stop" messages to control the recording of SuperCollider output.
.startQuitListener
Starts listening for "/quit" messages, which will call 0.exit within SuperCollider.
Examples
