Try - In case there aren't any possible cues Set triggerCues to cues of cue "2000" whose armed is true - this is your group cue, change cue number as necessary Create a script cue with the following: tell application id ".3" to tell front workspace To select a random ruby file to playback, set all of the trigger scripts (those that call a specific. To stop playback of all buffers/scripts, use: tell application "Terminal" To run additional buffers/scripts without opening new terminal windows, you can use: tell application "Terminal"ĭo script "`sonic_pi \"run_file '~/Dropbox/Code/Ruby/SonicPi/randomBells02.rb'\"`" in window 1 tell application "Terminal"ĭo script "`sonic_pi \"run_file '~/Dropbox/Code/Ruby/SonicPi/Dark Swirl Ambient Generator.rb'\"`"
All subsequent calls containing “in window 1” will keep the commands within the same window. The initial call will activate Terminal and keep the window hidden. All communication is local to the host machine. To run these same commands to a connected Pi, simply SSH into the Pi and then update the file pathway as necessary. It requires that Sonic Pi is running before the call is made.
#QLAB FOR MAC FREE INSTALL#
You can install sonic-pi-cli via gem on a Mac.Īs a simplified example, the following scripts call Ruby files from a directory located on the machine running both QLab and Sonic Pi. The Pi is connected via Ethernet to the QLab host, connected via SSH. The control script selects from the child cues within the group will only start cues who are not running (“whose running is false.”)
With the script cues placed within a Fire All group triggered by a script, the Pi will create a reasonably random layering of sounds. Utilizing script commands from QLab (as AppleScript cues) and a command line interface for Sonic Pi developed by Nick Johnstone called sonic-pi-cli, you can randomly call up pre-built instruments/pads/drones on a Pi connected to the audio system (you can also do this internally on the QLab host).
#QLAB FOR MAC FREE MAC OS X#
Originally developed for the Raspberry Pi platform, it is also available, free, on Windows, Mac OS X and desktop Linux. Sonic Pi, created by Sam Aaron at Cambridge University, is a fantastic live-coding music synth utilizing Ruby script and the SuperCollider synth engine. Controlling Sonic Pi from QLab – Use Sonic Pi to generate pre-show music for your designs.
