Collections & Workflow with Clippy (the audio clip launcher)

Hi @zynthianers!

A little workflow capture with the new audio clip launcher in vangelis:

You can also see in action the file manager with the new “collections browser” feature.
I hope you like it :wink:

Ahhh! OK! … You never heared about zynthian “collections” until today. Neither me! But probably they are going to be a popular zynthian topic in the near future.

Yesterday i realized there is a vast world of CC0 / CC-BY / CC-SA contents in the wild, so I hope to make available some “collection packages” very soon. For Vangelis, of course.

For the curious, here is a kind of “collections spec”:

  • A collection is directory structure with data files.
  • The directory structure is the same than the “files” directory. Something like:
    • Art
    • Audio
    • IRs
    • Midi
    • Neural Models
    • Patterns
    • Samples
  • Not all these subdirs need to exist in a collection. Only those with files inside.
  • The files can be a mix of audio samples, mid, IRs, neural models, etc.
  • Collections have an “Art” folder with graphics and a yaml file with info about author, license, description, etc.
  • Collections are stored in the “collections” directory, under “zynthian-my-data”.

Enjoy!

This looks super cool mate! How do we enable this in Vangelis? Maybe it would sit nicely in the “Extra Packages” section of webconf.
