# VLQTools2023 ## Presentation VLQTools2023 is a supercollider patch for live soundprocessing. Here is described the actual state and usage (a new version is under developement with only midi devices and no TouchOSC). The model is a virtual pedal board with various effects the user can launch in different orders. But if changing the chain order in a real pedal board is complicated, it's easier in a computer ! The idea is that the last effect is added at the end of the chain. Pressing ringmod > wah > graindisp will sound different than graindisp > wah > ringmod... The tools integrate also a looper, and various reverberations (IR) and at the end an EQ and Compressor. Here is the schematic representation of the audio groups : Sources (mic in) -> Main fx -> Loop group -> EQ -> COMP ## Interface The interface is a TouchOSC template used on an iPad2 (!), used on an ad hoc network created by the laptop computer, linked to the audio interface. ## Lauch 2 possibilities : - use the `$ boot.scd` from Supercollider - launch directly with `$ sclang run.scd` Note : if running a headless computer, which is possible with the iPad interface, you have to lauch the patch with QT "offscreen" : `` $ export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen $ sclang run.scd `` ## Variants One might use a pedal controller and volume pedal adding functionalities defined in `midi.scd`. ## Installation - Install Supercollider with plugins - Install TouchOSC on your tablet - Use the github repository : `https://github.com/vinlq/VLQTools2023` Note : check how to create an *ad hoc* network to link directly your tablet and the computer, or use a router. ## Usage This patch has been used in the Generative Improvisation Class at CNSMDP, as an introduction to live sound processing, with various instruments and vocalists. ### Situations - duo with an improviser and an iPad player - soloist experimenting various techniques extended by the tools, making snapshots and then improvising a piece with these prepared fx - soloist using fx to record a track used afterwards as a support for instrumental improvisation (by the same improviser or not) (unset title) RSS Feed
