// First, make sure you boot the server! (Ctrl + B)

// Remember the other key shortcuts in SuperCollider:
// Ctrl + Enter to evaluate a line or selection or code block
// Ctrl + Period to stop all sounds


// **************************************
// 1) LOAD A SOUND FILE INTO A BUFFER
// **************************************

// Change the file path as needed and evaluate the line below:
b = Buffer.readChannel(s, "D:/jdcoon/Ardour/Midterm/13 In Division (Toxic Avenger Remix).wav", channels: [0]);

// Listen to the sound file if you want:
{ PlayBuf.ar(2, b) }.play;

// Why not some instant fun, right?
{ PlayBuf.ar(2, b, MouseX.kr(0, 2)) }.play;

// **************************************
// 2) LOAD THE GRANULAR INSTRUMENT
// **************************************

// The code block below is the "instrument".
// You just have to evaluate it once at the beginning.
// Put your cursor anywhere between the top and bottom
// parentheses and hit ctrl + enter to evaluate.

/*
Explanation of the parameters:
- TRIGGER: how many grains per second. Zero means just one grain. Texture gets denser with higher numbers.
- GRAINDUR: duration of the grain, in seconds.
- SNDBUF: the buffer where the sound file is loaded.
- TRANSP: transposition rate. 1 = no transp, 2 = octave above, 1/2 = octave below, etc. If you use a negative number, it will be played in REVERSE!
- POS: position (0-1) in the sound file from where to read the grain.
- PAN: placement of the resulting grain between Left and Right speakers (-1 to +1).
- AMP: amplitude of the grain (volume), between 0 and 1.
- ENVBUF: the amplitude envelope of a single grain (-1 gives you a default env).
- DUR: this is where you specify the rhythm of the sequence (values in seconds)
*/


// You can do a lot just by changing those fixed numbers.
// But you can do a lot more if you create PATTERNS with them...

Explanation of pattern expressions:

Pwhite(0, 1) = will pick any number between a low and a high value that you provide (in this case, 0 and 1).

Pseq([1, 2, 5, 3], inf) = will read a list in sequence from left to right. List has to be between [ ].

Prand([1, 2, 5, 3], inf) = will pick a random item FROM THE LIST every time. List has to be between [ ].

You can use a pattern like the above to define any parameter inside the Pbind, as long as you choose sensible values.
