Function

(clamps &key (gui-base "/tmp") (qsynth nil) (open-gui nil))

Start Clamps including the Gui. This function can be called from the :cl-user package.

Apart from starting the webserver for the Gui, the function also:

• Starts the OSC responder for Inkscape.
• Starts the realtime engine and sets up MIDI ports and receivers by calling rts.
• Creates groups and buses for incudine dsps (see the Chapter General Incudine Setup.
• Starts the documentation acceptor for the online doc at http://localhost:8282/overview/index.html.

The following directories will be created in the gui-base path if they don't exist:

• <gui-base>/ats/
• <gui-base>/snd/
• <gui-base>/www/
• <gui-base>/www/svg/

The latter is the file path for svg files used in the <clamps-base-url>/svg-display page of the Gui.

Any files which need to be accessible by the Gui have to be put into the <gui-base>/www/ subdirectory with their filenames relative to this directory.
