# BuboQuark: Simple, hassle-free live coding
|
|
|
|
This repository is a collection of methods and hacks that I found to make live
|
|
coding easier on **SuperCollider**. A secondary goal is to make that setup easy
|
|
to install on other computers. This Quark is not bringing a lot of new features
|
|
and it twists the language in a way that is highly personal. Internally, it
|
|
relies a lot on **JITLib**, **Patterns** and **NodeProxies**. It truly feels
|
|
like a collection of tips and hacks found on the internet.
|
|
|
|
### Gated control-rate modulations
|
|
|
|
Ever wished to use a control-rate modulation for any of your `Pbind` parameters?
|
|
I have added a `Pdyn` pseudo-class that allows you to do that fairly easily.
|
|
Take a look at the following example :
|
|
|
|
```supercollider
|
|
(
|
|
[
|
|
"test2", i: "modulo",
|
|
scale: Scale.minor,
|
|
octave:3,
|
|
// This is the line you need to look at
|
|
ffreq: Pdyn({XLine.ar(5000, 200, c.beatDur * 2)}),
|
|
deg: "[0 7 0 5]^2.0 [0 3 0 5]^2.0 [~ ~ ~ ~]".p,
|
|
].pat.play;
|
|
~test2.fx(100, 0.35, {arg in; JPverb.ar(in, size: 10)});
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`Pdyn` will wrap a `Ndef` and repeat it _every time_ for every event. This is
|
|
fairly hacky but it works rather well!
|
|
|
|
### NodeProxy
|
|
|
|
The `NodeProxy` roles are sometimes a bit verbose to my taste. I have tried to make the syntax easier on the eye by creating the `fx`, `wet` and `infx` methods. Here is a demo of how I use it:
|
|
|
|
```supercollider
|
|
(
|
|
// Adding a tiny bit of reverb on slot 10 with a wet of 0.2
|
|
~test.fx(10, 0.2, {
|
|
arg in; GVerb.ar(in)
|
|
});
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
~test.wet(10, 0.5) // bring the reverb up with the wet method
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There is also `.fxin` and `.wet` functions, shortcuts for the `\filter` and
|
|
`\filterIn` NodeProxy mechanisms. I have also added some rather shady functions
|
|
that automatically pick up a slot for a specific fx: `fx1`, `fx2`, up to `fx9`.
