supersonic-scsynth-synthdefs

Sonic Pi's synthdefs as binary .scsyndef files, plus a few test and utility synthdefs the SuperSonic test suite loads, for SuperSonic.

Installation

npm install supersonic-scsynth-synthdefs

Use with the client and the engine:

npm install supersonic-scsynth supersonic-scsynth-core supersonic-scsynth-synthdefs

Usage

import { SuperSonic } from 'https://unpkg.com/supersonic-scsynth@latest/dist/supersonic.js';

const supersonic = new SuperSonic({
  baseURL: 'https://unpkg.com/supersonic-scsynth@latest/dist/',
  coreBaseURL: 'https://unpkg.com/supersonic-scsynth-core@latest/',
  synthdefBaseURL: 'https://unpkg.com/supersonic-scsynth-synthdefs@latest/synthdefs/'
});

// Browsers start audio only after a click, tap or keypress
document.querySelector('button').onclick = async () => {
  await supersonic.init();

  // Load synthdefs from CDN
  await supersonic.loadSynthDefs(['sonic-pi-beep', 'sonic-pi-tb303', 'sonic-pi-prophet']);
};

synthdefBaseURL is where synthdefs loaded by name are fetched from: loadSynthDef('sonic-pi-beep') fetches sonic-pi-beep.scsyndef from there.

The package itself exports every name and, as SYNTHDEFS_CDN, this release's synthdefs on unpkg, from a browser or anywhere else:

import { SYNTHDEFS_CDN, SYNTHDEF_NAMES } from 'supersonic-scsynth-synthdefs';

From Node

Under Node it also exports the directory the files are in, and the path of one:

import { SYNTHDEFS_DIR, getSynthDefPath, SYNTHDEF_NAMES } from 'supersonic-scsynth-synthdefs';

getSynthDefPath('sonic-pi-beep');   // <SYNTHDEFS_DIR>/sonic-pi-beep.scsyndef
