Usage

First of all run synthdefs.scd on SuperCollider. Below is an example to execute a .scd file on the command line (it is necessary to pass through the path of sclang):

sclang synthdefs.scd

You can use synthdefs which you defined by yourself.

Import Alternative:

from Alternative import *

Then, when you start global_clock, you hear a sound:

global_clock.start()

If you want to change bpm, execute the following method:

global_clock.bpm = 120
