can of sprats

Yo! Welcome to my can of sprats! This is where I mess around with Sardine, a cool Python library for making algorithmic music and live coding.

Why "can of sprats"? Think of it as a collection of things packed tightly together – Sardine code, custom tools, experiments, and musical sketches, all swimming in their own little brine.

What's Inside?

• Projects: These are actual musical pieces or recreations. Right now, there's a recreation of Platina's "NEO" beat. Check it out: NEO Beat Recreation
• My Sardine Tools: A custom Python package with utilities to make Sardine even more fun. Think of it as my personal toolbox. More details here: My Sardine Tools
• Scripts: Little helpers for setting things up and connecting stuff.
• Common: Shared resources and configurations.

Getting Started

Wanna dive in? Here's the basic flow:

1. Dependencies: Make sure you have everything installed. Install Sardine, then do this:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   pip install -e ./my_sardine_tools

2. Start Sardine:

   • Option 1: Direct Terminal: If your editor can send text to the terminal, just run ./scripts/start_sardine.sh in terminal. (This script makes sure SuperCollider and SuperDirt are up and running before Sardine starts. In some cases Sardine doesn't start SuperCollider automatically, otherwise just running sardine might work.)
   • Option 2: Client/Server: If your editor can't send text to the terminal, use the client/server approach:
     • Start the Sardine server: ./run_sardine.sh
     • Configure your editor to send selected text via the client script: ./scripts/sardine_client.sh "YOUR_SELECTED_CODE"
   • Option 3: Editor extension: For some editors extensions are available, check here.

3. Load a Project: Sardine works as a REPL. You edit code in your editor and send it to the REPL.
