==Play a sound file==
==create a buffer==
<pre>
~mysound = Buffer.read(s, "path/to/sound/file.wav");
</pre>
====simple play====
<pre>{PlayBuf.ar(1, ~mysound)}.play; // number of channels and buffer</pre>
====get sound file info====
<pre>[~mysound.bufnum, ~mysound.numChannels, ~mysound.path, ~mysound.numFrames];</pre>
====varying speed====
<pre>{PlayBuf.ar(1, ~mysound, 2, loop: 1)}.play; // play 2x faster
{PlayBuf.ar(1, ~mysound, 0.5, loop: 1)}.play; // play at half the speed
{PlayBuf.ar(1, ~mysound, Line.kr(0.5, 2, 10), loop: 1)}.play; // playback speed goes from 0.5 to 2 in 10 seconds</pre>
====changing direction====
<pre>{PlayBuf.ar(1, ~mysound, -1, loop: 1)}.play; // reverse sound
{PlayBuf.ar(1, ~mysound, -0.5, loop: 1)}.play; // play at half the speed AND reversed</pre>

==Play a MIDI file==

Do this and that.

==List Operations==
===scramble===
===reverse===
===find nth===


==Looping==

'''While'''

<pre>(
i = 0;
while ( { i < 5 }, { i = i + 1; "boing".postln });
)</pre>

'''For'''

<pre>for (3, 7, { arg i; i.postln }); // prints values 3 through 7</pre>

'''ForBy'''

<pre>forBy (0, 8, 2, { arg i; i.postln }); // prints values 0 through 8 by 2's</pre>

'''Do'''

<pre>[ "first", "second", "third", 444) ].do({ arg item, i; [i, item].postln; });

5.do({ arg item; item.postln }); // iterates from zero to four

"you".do({ arg item; item.postln }); // a String is a collection of characters

'they'.do({ arg item; item.postln }); // a Symbol is a singular item

(8..20).do({ arg item; item.postln }); // iterates from eight to twenty 

(8,10..20).do({ arg item; item.postln }); // iterates from eight to twenty, with stepsize two
</pre>
