this is a fork of ezra's softcut JACK client which allows manipulating audio buffers in real time, developed at the behest of monome, originally for use with the norns sound computer. I've forked it to port a norns script I wrote, oooooo, to be available as a standalone cross-platform application.

This program requires JACK to be running. Make sure to first download and install JACK. Then you can use the qjackctl GUI to start JACK, or you can start it from the command line.

Download oooooooo_v0.1.3.zip. Unzip it and then run the oooooooo.exe program in the resulting directory.

Download oooooooo_v0.1.3.AppImage and then run the following commands:

chmod +x oooooooo_v0.1.3.AppImage
./oooooooo_v0.1.3.AppImage

Download oooooooo_v0.1.3.dmg. Make sure to allow the app to run in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Then run the oooooooo program in the resulting directory.

The following keys are available to control the program:

• pressing h will toggle help
• pressing 1-7 will select loop 1-7
• pressing up/down will navigate parameters
• pressing left/right will adjust parameter

• pressing p will toggle play
• pressing r will toggle recording
• pressing ctl + r will toggle record once

• pressing l will toggle lfo
• pressing : or , will adjust lfo period
• pressing - or + will increase lfo depth
• pressing [ or ] will decrease lfo depth

• drag-and-drop an audio file to load it
• pressing s will save tape loops parameters. saving creates a file tape_loops.json in the directory where the program is running. it will also create tape_loop_x.wav files for each tape loop. if you drag-and-drop the tape_loops.json file, it will load the parameters and the audio files automatically.

This project is dynamically linked against several other libraries. You will need to install the depenndencies before you can build this project.

First install Jack.

Then install the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install  libjack-jackd2-0 liblo7 libsdl2-2.0-0 libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0 librtmidi6 libsndfile1 flac

First install Jack.

Then install the dependencies:

brew install jack liblo sdl2 sdl2_ttf rtmidi libsndfile flac

First install Jack.

Then install the dependencies by first downloading and installing MSYS2.

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-python mingw-w64-x86_64-jack2 mingw-w64-x86_64-liblo mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_ttf mingw-w64-x86_64-rtmidi mingw-w64-x86_64-libsndfile

Then, before building, you need to set the environment variables for the MSYS2 shell. You can do this by running the following command in the MSYS2 shell:

$env:PATH += ";C:\msys64\mingw64\bin"

or if your in MSYS2:

export PATH=/mingw64/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/mingw64/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
export MINGW_PREFIX="/mingw64"
rm -rf build && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/mingw64 -G "Unix Makefiles" .. && cmake --build . --config Release -- -j$(nproc)

Once the dependencies are installed, you can build the project.

mkdir build 
cd build 
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build . --config Release -- -j$(nproc)
