CC3 Week 7 - GUI III
I have incorporated the IXI GUI code of a fancy spinning circle with a waveform oscillating. The GUI doesn't have any function in the patch I have just used it for visual feedback. The animation goes for as long as the duration of the note. I tried to change some of the parameters in the IXI code to change the way it behaves but for some reason SuperCollider kept crashing. So I have used the default code and have just changed the dimensions and colour.
Incase you forgot, you trigger the notes by clicking on the background and control the frequency and duration of the notes using the sliders. The drop down menu changes the timbre of the notes.
