Graphical Module (GM)

Overview

The Graphical Module (GM) is a Quark (an extension) that adds a collection of widgets to the SuperCollider (SC) language.

You can find previews, and discuss this project, on the SuperCollider forum.

GM extends SuperCollider (SC) graphic capacities with a collection of ~20 widgets of all kinds. Every class is fully documented and illustrated with examples, highly customizable, and all classes are tied together with a centralized palette system.

Being a recent project, the Graphical Module is still consider in BETA.

What's inside?

• ready to use buttons: checkboxes, button grids, recording, visual feedback, ...
• GMCurveEnvView: a widget that allows to shape and bend enveloppes
• GMKeyboard: a piano keyboard emulation that can be controlled from a MIDI device
• a sequencer interface that eases the manipulation of rythmic patterns
• GMListPianoRoll: an easy to use piano roll
• GMStyle: a palette system that modifies several widgets at once
• svg support on most relevant classes
• every class is fully documented and illustrated with examples within SCs built-in documentation
• integrated value mapping
• and more...

Installation

Do not forget to update your Quark repository!

Evaluating Quarks.install("GraphicalModule"); should do the trick.

Otherwise, you can use ScIDE and select Language > Quarks to install it.

In both cases, you will need to recompile the class library after the first installation.

Getting started

GM comes along with two in-depth guides that cover all the Quark utilisation basics:

• FM Drone Example

• Sequencer interface example
