Basic Timeline Example

This example demonstrates fundamental timeline-based composition in ossia score, combining audio file playback with effects processing.

Overview

The score shows how to arrange audio clips on a timeline, apply effects, and create basic temporal structures with the scenario system.

Working with intervals

In ossia score, intervals are the basic building blocks:

  • They have a duration (shown in the timeline)
  • They can contain any number of processes
  • They can be triggered by events or play automatically
  • They can be nested inside scenarios

Try it
