Anyone got a SuperCollider example for a full Sonic Pi synth?
As Discourse correctly points out, this is similar to the thread about SC’s Ping Pong. It also relates to a thread about wavetable synthesis. In both cases, @ethancrawford is involved, so maybe it should be more of a direct interaction.
A while back, created two simple synthdefs in SuperCollider. Was able to load them in Sonic Pi and play with them like normal synths, but several opts are missing, especially the _slide ones.
Always thought that Overtone was doing something clever to add these things. As @samaaron pointed out last night, it’s not the case.
That was kind of an epiphany, for me.
Decided to go back to those SuperCollider-based projects during my office hours (which just ended, actually).
Thing is, haven’t got a clue how to get the other opts to work with new synthdefs. The Overtone/Clojure files (say, basic.clj) are full of references to these _slide opts and it’s really not obvious how they’re used in the synths themselves.
An example would greatly help.
For reference, here’s my “talking drum” synth. A clue about fitting things like note_slide would probably help me a lot to figure out the rest. (Would then attempt to create other synths from physical modelling and/or single-cycle waveforms.)
Thanks!
