Delta-Live

Application for generating code for a simple GUI based sample player in SuperCollider

Why?

SuperCollider is a very stable application for concert situations. Playing soundfiles cued by an instrumental score needs a very simple/save usability when you have to follow the music and trigger the soundfiles via computer keyboard at the same time.

SuperCollider is a text based programming language. Changing things inside the code (i.e. changing a general volume of one soundfile) can easily produce syntax errors. Generating the code via "Delta-Live" prevents this issue.

Input:

• one or more folders with soundfiles (each folder becomes a row in the SuperCollider window)

Output:

• SuperCollider file ('out.scd')

Possible Treatments:

• change/edit volume manually by select and key-command '+'/'-'
• set volume to 0.0 dB by select and key-command '0'

How to use
