I dunno about you, but I can’t remember the difference between all the different sample sounds in Sonic Pi. My day job is as a web dev, so I threw this together today:
It’s very much a 0.1.0 website, but it gets the job done for now. If you like it and would like to see something added to it, feel free to reach out or do a pull request to the repo!
It’s built with Svelte, in case anyone was wondering.
Agreed. I’m not entirely sure if that can be easily pulled off on the web though. There’s probably a way, but that’s beyond my skillset. It doesn’t seem like there’s a web version of SuperCollider.
Nah, it’s not an issue with the samples. The problem is that I’d have to recreate the entire Sonic Pi app in the browser to get the synths to work, which I don’t think is possible.
Sorry but I can’t see the interest of your little app… you can easily create a function into sonic pi on a side buffer to listen to each built-in samples right ? So could you explain how you feel the need of your app ?
If you want to improve your board, may i suggest to add a filter at the top of it into an input field to access fast to a sample. Of course only the name of the possible samples would be proposed.
Cheers.
There is, admittedly, a potentially helpful use case for this - folks could check out the available sounds without having to download the app for example
Hi @modulo. This is cool. I would suggest you could also give each a personality. If there was a visual mnemonic like a generated icon that one could associate and help remember whats what that would be helpful.
Put a face to the sound I guess. Maybe it’s more memorable than the name. It would be even cooler if you could find a way to codify the ‘feel’ of the sound in a picture. Similar to how a spectrogram does for voices. Once you know how to read it you can tell what it is at a glance.
Total tangent but vaguely applicable - sound visuals.
