View SourceInstall Dirt-Samples library for SuperDirt.
Usage
mix waveform.install_samplesThis task will:
- Check if Dirt-Samples is already installed
- Install Dirt-Samples via SuperCollider's Quarks system
- Verify the installation succeeded
- Provide next steps for configuration
What are Dirt-Samples?
Dirt-Samples is a large library of 217 sample banks (1800+ audio files) used by SuperDirt and TidalCycles. It includes drum machines (808, 909), percussion, synthesizers, and various musical instruments.
Requirements
- SuperCollider must be installed and running
- Waveform application must be started
- ~200MB of disk space
- Internet connection for download
After Installation
IMPORTANT: Waveform is already configured to load Dirt-Samples automatically with the correct buffer settings (numBuffers = 4096). The samples will be available after installation completes.
You may need to restart your application to ensure the samples load properly.
Troubleshooting
If samples don't load or you see "ERROR: No more buffer numbers":
- Check that numBuffers is set to at least 4096 (already configured in Waveform)
- Verify samples are installed at the correct path (this task will show it)
- Restart your Elixir application completely
Run mix waveform.doctor to verify your SuperDirt setup.
