This is a prototype! It's quite slow and eats a lot of RAM. I've only tested it on Linux with JACK. So be aware of that, when using it! - -So far, what you can do with it: +## Features - Parse 23andme files, write them to a different format. - Loading both of those files into a dictionary.//this will eat so much RAM, cookie monster is a 'lil puppet compared (get ready for 5,7Gb (parsing) and 4,7Gb (reading) - Playing positions (or rather: bases/base pairs on a chromosome at a position) of up to 25 chromosomes from those dictionaries on 2,4,6 & 8 channels (there's no real limit to that though, but your hardware) +## Installation + +Clone this repository to somewhere sclang will pick it up on recompiling its class library: + + cd ~/.local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/local + git clone git://sleepmap.de/thesoundofpeople.git + +If the local folder doesn't exist, create it, otherwise you can also directly clone into the Extensions folder (the folder and all of its children will get picked up on recompile). +Symlinking is fine, too! + + cd ~/some/other/directory + git clone git://sleepmap.de/thesoundofpeople.git + cd ./local/share/SuperCollider/Extensios/local/ + ln -s ~/some/other/directory/thesoundofpeople . -There are some upcoming TODOs, and I'll list some of them: +## TODO - flesh out SNP.sc (a million instances eat too much RAM on filling a SNPDict), that comes with a lot of looking around what has to be changed in the other classes to make this work. - fine grain the synthesizers used, so each chromosome will become more distinct (currently only X, Y and MT are very recognizable) - use a set of filters based upon the form of each chromosome and its "interesting areas" |
