Fix bugs

• Adding filters to a track has a bug. (forgot what it is exactly). Has to do with "currently playing notes" stopping when adding a filter. It's because I'm using the replace bus scsynth feature.

• make starting scsynth reliable

  • linux.
    • script not reliable
  • OSX
    • script has hardcoded path & not reliable
  • Windows
    • nothing yet

Features

• envelopes

  • learn how envgen works
  • use existing envelope types (trapizoid)
  • make preset envelopes?

• load samples [x] can load mono samples [ ] load stereo samples - what to do with 2 buffers?

• sequencing

  • test play-note-at
  • implement a metronome as in Overtone
  • see how pseq in SClang works.

DAW-like model

Oregano will have these concepts/objects:

• track: like a "track" in renoise. can have notes and a list of filters

• instrument: instrument defenitions or presets, and actual instantiated instruments.

  • I should make some instrument presets, like sine, saw, square, triangle waves.

• filters: can be added to tracks. e.g. reverb, low pass filter.

Functionality

Instruments

• [Done] preset instruments

• custom instruments

• adding filters to tracks

• ability to change filter parameters

• playing a note from an instrument on a track.

  • [done] can play a note from an instrument on bus 0

• load sound files into buffers, and play them using notes.

  • create instruments
