RedSampler | SuperCollider 3.13.0 Help

Description

Nothing fancy. This class just loads soundfiles into RAM and then uses PlayBuf to play them back. It uses the same interface as RedDiskInSampler (except for numFrames which is is not implemented here).

Instance Methods

.prepareForPlay

Attach a soundfile to a key (number or symbol) and create buffers - one for each overlapping voice. This method is also has the alias preload for backward compatibility.

Arguments:

key	A number or a symbol.
path	A string to a soundfile.
startFrame	In samples.
numFrames	How much of the file to load in samples. Leave as `nil` to load the complete file.

Examples

s.boot;
a= RedSampler(s);

//-- setting up which samples to use and prepare them
a.prepareForPlay(\snd1, Platform.resourceDir +/+ "sounds/a11wlk01-44_1.aiff");
a.prepareForPlay(\snd2, "~/sounds/break.wav".standardizePath);  //add your own soundfile
a.prepareForPlay(\snd3, Platform.resourceDir +/+ "sounds/a11wlk01-44_1.aiff", 44100, 22050);  //offset 44100 samples, 0.5sec

//-- play
a.play(\snd1);  //play the whole soundfile
a.voicesLeft(\snd1);
a.stop(\snd1);  //stop

a.play(\snd1, 1, 0, 0.05);  //play with slow attack and quick release

a.play(\snd2);  //play another sample
a.play(\snd3);  //and another
a.play(\snd3, 0.1, 0, 0.1);  //very short
a.play(\snd3, 3, 3, 3, loop:2);  //using loop:2 to both have finite duration and loop on

a.play(\snd2, loop:1);  //looping forever
a.stop(\snd2, 4);  //stop with 4 second fadetime

(  //start many at once
a.play(\snd1);
a.play(\snd2);
a.play(\snd3, loop:1);
)
a.flush(0);  //stop all right away

a.play(\snd2);
a.play(\snd2);
a.voicesLeft(\snd2);  //check if any free voices
a.stop(\snd2, 0);
a.stop(\snd2, 0);
a.voicesLeft(\snd2);  //check if any free voices

a.loadedKeys;  //report all keys that have soundfiles loaded
a.overlaps;  //how many voices allowed to play simultaneously

a.length(\snd1);  //how long is the soundfile in seconds
a.length(\snd3);
a.channels(\snd1);  //how many channels
a.buffers(\snd1);  //access buffers for a key.  one for each overlap

a.free;  //free synths, close files and free buffers
