Abstract

The SuperCollider audio engine's architecture supports live-coding-capable flexible modulation. Typically these modulators are long-running, continuous modulation sources shared among sequenced notes. Modulation that triggers per-note has been difficult to improvise because temporary resources need to be tracked and released. My recent ddwPlug Quark extension package handles temporary connections between synthesis components, expanding the possibilities for audio hacking within the context of live-coded sequencing.
