Scaffold a genre show
scaffold_genreCreate a genre-based starting network with preset tempo, look, and palette for techno, ambient, or installation. Returns container and node paths.
Instructions
Create a genre-flavored starting network under parent_path — beyond scaffold_show's blank skeleton. Picks a tempo, look, and palette per genre: 'techno' (fast ~130 BPM clock + a hard strobe-y feedback look + dark palette), 'ambient' (slow ~70 BPM + a soft blurred-feedback look + warm palette), or 'installation' (no clock + a slow generative noise look + muted palette). Each builds a 'master' output Null and a genre look already wired into it, and (when a tempo applies) writes the project's global tempo (op('/').time.tempo). Use scaffold_show instead for an empty skeleton with no look or palette. Returns the container path, the master/tempo/look node paths, the BPM written, and the palette. Then add scenes, a layer mixer into master, cues, and a control surface.

| parent_path | No | Parent COMP path the show container is created inside. | /project1 |
