ixiQuarks instruments for improvisation with GUI and code

version 4.2 (Compatible with SC 3.2) - February 2008

The ixiQuarks are instruments aimed for quick setup of performative environments

where the user can speedily respond to changes in the music whilst performing.

On the ixi website, they can be found as standalones, but here we are providing

the classes as quarks that work with the recent Quarks environment of Supercollider.

To run the ixi quarks, type:

XiiQuarks.new;

(does not run any audio code, but simply launches a GUI window with the instruments)

You need to create a folder called "preferences" in your SuperCollider folder and place

the "preferences.ixi" file in there. Settings from instruments will be stored in this folder.

Also you might want to create a folder inside your "sounds" folder, called "ixiquarks" as

that's where some of the instruments record sounds by default.

Let me know if I have forgotten something here!

Most of this is part of the extended binaries that can be found on www.realizedsound.net

Necessary actions:

1) put the preferences folder (here in the help folder) next to your SuperCollider.app

TIP: personally I have this line in my Main.sc (in the startup method) : XiiQuarks.new;

And this will launch the ixiQuarks GUI browser with all the instrument types.

(or you can have this line in your startup file (See "Using the Startup File" helpfile))

The helpfiles can be accessed here

Or downloaded (to be installed inside the ixi help folder) from here

It's all GPL licensed code.
