Re: [sc-users] controlling scsynth from python

[Vincent Rioux <vincent.rioux@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi enrike,
thanks for this nice work. i was just looking for something similar.
i found it fairly easy to set up on my linux box.
Would it be possible to know how the steroplayer.synthdef is written, as
i would like to write a mono version and possibly move the playhead
position.
best regards,
vincent
