cue

Example 0 

in_thread do
  sync :foo
  sample :ambi_lunar_land
end

sleep 5

cue :foo
         

 
 
 # this parks the current thread waiting for a foo cue message to be received.
 
 
 
 
 
 # We send a cue message from the main thread.
 # This then unblocks the thread above and we then hear the sample

Example 1 

in_thread do  
  loop do     
    cue :tick
    sleep 0.5 
  end
end

# We can now play sounds using the metronome.
loop do                   
  sync :tick              
  sample :drum_heavy_kick 
end

 
 # Start a metronome thread
 # Loop forever:
 # sending tick heartbeat messages
 # and sleeping for 0.5 seconds between ticks
 
 
 
 
 # In the main thread, just loop
 # waiting for :tick cue messages
 # after which play the drum kick sample

 # Start a metronome thread
 # Loop forever:
