The Evil Fingertips of Contemplation

CC Week 8 - Buffers

Create a SC patch that provides eight sample playback. The playback will be controlled from a MIDI keyboard. Consider MIDI playback control information including pitch, amplitude, filtering, modulation, panning and the use of unit generators explored previously.

Here is my Supercollider Patch as a zipped file. The zip also includes the drum samples needed for this patch to function. If the folder is unzipped into /Users/student/Desktop/ the patch "should" function correctly.
