Samples

By setting the loadSamples entry to true, you can get some automatically loaded samples.

import Glicol from "glicol";
import { seq } from "glicol";

const glicol = new Glicol({
  loadSamples: true,
});

Call glicol.showAllSamples() to see them in the console.

You play samples by using the sp node (sample-playback).

It's triggered by any non-zero value: 1.0 will trigger the normal speed playback.

2.0 double the speed thus octave higher; 0.5 octave lower.

Thus, the imp node is good for a regular triggering:

glicol.play({
  o: imp(1.0).sp("808bd"),
});

However, a more usefull tool is the seq node.

The "seq" node takes unlimited number of parameters called "notes", separated by spaces.

These "notes" will equally divide one bar music.

Note can be midi number, rest _, or compound note such as _60.

Compound notes are further equally divided by the total number of midi(note) and rest(_)

I will cover how to make more complicated sequence pattern later.

You can also call glicol.addSampleFiles(name, url) to load your own samples.

The name is what you want to call your sample in Glicol.

The url is optional; if not provided, a local file loader will open for you to load samples.

You can also call glicol.setBPM(bpmNumber) to set the BPM. The default time signature is 4/4.

More settings such as bar duration or cycle dur will come soon.
