** past friday I've done some basic setup (painfully) and had simplest examples running
[[file:supercollider-example.lisp::;; to use cl-patterns with its SuperCollider backend, you'll first need to load the cl-patterns/supercollider system with quicklisp:][setting up supercollider]] package - so this doesn't work for some reason
** here simplest things seem to work
[[file:setting-up-cl-collider.lisp::;; https://defaultxr.github.io/cl-collider-tutorial/02-getting-started.html][cl-collider-tutorial-getting-started]]
** so, let's just go the site?
nope, continue with the file that had some promise
the one about cl-collider turorial
** also, let's make this a separate repo?
oh, no, the 'supercollider-example' which is about cl-patterns started to work?

how and why? maybe reinit of some shit, or what

so, new file to hopefully learn something about cl-patterns
*** what is it that I want o learn ideally?
setting up drum sequences?

doing chord things with synth?
** what's this thing about "FAILURE IN SERVER /n_set Node 1539 not found "
?
** this seems to be startup
#+begin_src common-lisp
(ql:quickload :cl-patterns/supercollider)
(cl-patterns:backend-start 'supercollider)

;; also launch QjackCTL and connect SuperCollider outputs 1 & 2 to headphones
;; to force restart, use killall scsynth



(in-package #:cl-patterns)

(start-clock-loop :tempo 136/60)
#+end_src

but what's most basic pattern that would play then?

ones in [[file:2022-08-12-supercollider-example.lisp::end :bar][supercollider example seem to work]]

and example seem to require me to define synth, right?
to set it into the :instrument key

wtf am I to do.
** maybe let's try to do stuff inside of org file?
** how do I clear things, it seems that cl-patterns seems to send things to server?
** should I try a different backend?
