Hi again.

I'm building some small projects while I learn how to use this crate. Would you be interested in adding those as examples in this repository?

I already moved the example in the README inside an examples folder, so I can run it with:

cargo run --release --examples sinewave

The only thing changed is that I used .expect rather than propagating the error with anyhow just to avoid adding the dependency in the repository.

I already have another example to play a .wav file from the file system.

If you are ok with it I can open a PR for each example while I write them.

Hi ooesili!

I saw this project on This week in Rust, and since I wanted to build something similar to be able to control SuperCollider from whithin Rust, I'm really happy to see some of the work is already done.

I tried creating a new project and running the code in the README.md file and noticed that it probably isn't up to date with the repository.

I had to make some minor fixes to make it work, but in the end I could hear the sinewave generated by the running SC server.

If you'd like I can open a Pull Request to fix the example in the README, this is how I had to modify it to make it work:

use anyhow::Result;
use sorceress::{
    server::{self, Server},
    synthdef::{encoder::encode_synth_defs, SynthDef},
    ugen,
};
use std::{thread::sleep, time::Duration};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let server = Server::connect("127.0.0.1:57110")?;

    let sine_wave = SynthDef::new("sine_wave", |_| {
        ugen::Out::ar().channels(ugen::Pan2::ar().input(ugen::SinOsc::ar().freq(220)))
    });
    let encoded_synthdef = encode_synth_defs(vec![sine_wave]);
    server.send_sync(server::SynthDefRecv::new(&encoded_synthdef))?;

    server.send(server::SynthNew::new("sine_wave", 1))?;
    sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));

    server.reset()?;

    Ok(())
}

Some ideas regarding the live reloading development workflow.

• I have had success with https://crates.io/crates/dynamic_reload for live reloading of Rust DLLs (auto rebuilding the DLL with cargo watch -x build) for the purpose of live coding in Rust. (This can also be made ABI-stable with https://crates.io/crates/abi_stable but when compiling host and DLL with the same nightly, I had no issues.)
• Here is a Rust evaluator: https://crates.io/crates/evcxr (used by https://crates.io/crates/evcxr_repl)
• Here is another Rust evaluator that can be embedded into any host: https://crates.io/crates/irust_repl It was factored out of IRust to make it easily re-useable from other hosts, after I raised this issue: https://github.com/sigmaSd/IRust/issues/77 These evaluators can be combined with file reloading after saving a file, by using https://crates.io/crates/hotwatch, https://crates.io/crates/notify or https://crates.io/crates/warmy

Btw, someone also implemented a UGen in Rust: http://www.andrewchristophersmith.com/2015/01/01/implementing-a-supercollider-external-in-rust/ https://github.com/andrewcsmith/vox_box_supercollider
