«panflute sampler» by nicolaariutti

on 20 Oct'19 19:42 in samplersamples

A slightly modified version of my sampler (https://scsynth.org/t/sorting-list-of-dictionaries-by-keys/705, https://scsynth.org/t/dictionary-and-array-inside-patterns/747, https://scsynth.org/t/orchestral-texture-v1/994/3).

I made it to test it with some beautiful pan pipe sound files recorded by timohanes (@ https://freesound.org/people/timohanes/packs/4159/ ) and released under CC0.
