supercollider triggering

[Marc Nostromo [M-.-n]]

Hi SC experts,

I had a quick intro on SC at work last week but I'm still missing
something for my big picture.

I understand the concept of the synth building, and playing it from
the 'editor'. Most of what I've seen is 'one shot' playback.. i.e. you
setup your synth to play one note, maybe trigger another one. But
there's little 'playing' aspect.

How do you guys implement using SC instruments in a broader context
that might include sequencing/improv/parameter mapping/...

I'm kind of impressed by the language capabilities but at this point,
it seems all those wonderful possibilities are tight in an ennoying
sandbox.

Thanks for any enlightment.
Marc.
