supercollider triggering

[Marc Nostromo [M-.-n]]

Awesome info Johnny, thanks. I guess MIDIFunc is what I'm looking for.
I ll crawl the web to try to find - possibly up do date - examples ;)

This is what I've done when I've played live with supercollider recently.

MIDIFunc or OSCFunc can be used to manipulate the contents of these patterns on-the-fly or you can livecode the changes (see Pdef).  There's a tutorial in the documentation that you can get at by searching for "Sequencing with Patterns".
