Configuration

When you install the Quark, you will also inherit a folder called Configuration. This folder contains my personal configuration files. They are .scd files that will be interpreted during the boot sequence. You can use them to pre-declare synth definitions, add convenience methods, etc:

├── Configuration
│   ├── Startup.scd
│   └── Synthdefs.scd

You do as you wish with these. They are currently very minimal and only include a method call to setup MIDI and a bunch of synth definitions I use. They rely pretty heavily on mi-UGens.

How to list synths and effects?

In my personal configuration files, I am using the d variable to hold a reference to every synth definition I write. I also use the f variable to pre-write some audio effects that I use often. This is not hard-coded, you can get rid of it if you want. I am also attaching a few methods to these objects:

  • d.list: print the list of available synth definitions.
  • d.params('synth'): print the parameters of the synth definition named 'synth'.
