the included softcut helper files

since the prompt for this circle could result in a lot of duplicated effort, we figured it'd be helpful to include some scaffolding for loading samples into softcut, so you can explore the sequencing and manipulation facets of scripting.

add params with sc_params

lib/sc_params provides PARAMETERS menu controls for all 6 softcut voices, including buffer allocation. it also moves the bundled samples into the audio folder.

instantiate it with < my softcut params variable > = include 'lib/sc_params at the top of your script. then, you can simply add < my softcut params variable >.init() to your script's init and the controls will populate, eg:

sc_prm = include 'lib/sc_params' -- param-based controls over softcut

function init()
  sc_prm.init()
end

add functions with sc_helpers

lib/sc_helpers provides a script functions for different softcut actions, to supplement sc_params. once you instantiate it with `< my softcut helper variable > = include 'lib/sc_helpers' at the top of your script, you can:

• pre-load audio files as kits with the following strings: 'default-1', 'default-2', 'fltr-amod-eq', 'fm-lite', 'heavy', 'mods-1', 'mods-2', 'verb-long', 'verb-short'
  eg. sc_fn.load_kit('default-1')
• play a specific voice (1 through 6) with sc_fn.play_slice(voice,1)

see the scarlet script for more usage details.
