Needs Qt GUI (VLayout)

Basic GUI for loading samples and playing them via button presses. Differences to the original version by rukano:

  • adapted to use SoundFile:cue
  • you can start and stop playing the samples

you can also stop the samples from playing with this version.

Nice, I never used SoundFile before... looks simple and easy to use! :)

It is to my knowledge the easiest way to play back soundfiles while still being able to control playback parameters (by the environment argument you give at cueing...)
