+First of all, don't run lein deps. All libraries and samples are included (bad bad bad).
+Change the globals.clj into the path where samples are (so you can have drum sets).

+Compile core.clj and

+Don't close the window that will pop-up. This is the processing window (so you can have graphics too!).
+After that, run
