1.1 Live Coding

## 1st example live_loop, v1
live_loop :flibble do
  sample :bd_haus, rate: 1
  sleep 0.5
end 

Ok, that was simple enough. Let’s add something else into the mix. Above sample :bd_haus add the line sample :ambi_choir, rate: 0.3.

live_loop :flibble do #v2
  sample :ambi_choir, rate: 0.3
  sample :bd_haus, rate: 1
  sleep 1
end

synced loops - in_thread

named in_threads are not created if already existing

• 🧪 add thread at runtime
  • synced

ℹ Version 3 introduced a change where syncing loops are synced when the loop ends, not when starts, to achieve deterministic behaviour ... 🧪do loop_tests

live_loops are created in their own thread...
?? but not named (nameable?), so no mutex, unlike named threads... 🧪

• DEBUG running threads
