PatternConductor provides a simple interactive control (supporting play, pause, resume, stop) for playing pattern, much like link::Classes/Pattern#-play::. However, PatternConductor creates its own clock and directly controls the release of sounding notes as well as their initiation by the pattern.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
InstanceMethods::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
private::prPlay
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::tempo
|
||
|
|
Sets the tempo of the PatternConductor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::play
|
||
|
|
Play the pattern. A link::Classes/TempoClock:: is created, its tempo is set to the PatternConductor tempo, and the pattern is played using that clock. If quant is non-zero, this is synchronized with TempoClock.default at the specified quantization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::pause
|
||
|
|
Pause the pattern, sustaining notes indefinitely. A subsequent link::#-resume:: will return to the original tempo (so the notes will end as scheduled). A subsequent link::#-play:: will cut-off any sounding notes and resume play at the original tempo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::stop
|
||
|
|
can cut-off or shorten sounding notes, depending on the value of tempo. If stopTempo is nil, all notes are cut-off immediately. Otherwise, notes end at the specified tempo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Examples::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
code::
|
||
|
|
(
|
||
|
|
// a pattern with long notes
|
||
|
|
p = Pbind(
|
||
|
|
\freq, Pwhite(0,log(32)).exp.round(1) * 36.midicps,
|
||
|
|
\detune, Pfunc({ | ev | ev[\freq] * rand(0.01) }),
|
||
|
|
\sustain, Pwhite(log(0.1), log(20)).exp,
|
||
|
|
\dur, Prand([0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1,0.2,1,2],inf),
|
||
|
|
\db, Pstep(Pseq([-20,-30,-25,-30], inf),0.2)
|
||
|
|
);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// unrelated cluster pattern running on TempoClock.default
|
||
|
|
Pbind(\dur,2, \midinote, Pseq([(48..60)],20), \db, -30).play;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// make a conductor
|
||
|
|
a = PatternConductor(p, quant: 2);
|
||
|
|
a.play;
|
||
|
|
)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// now try some interactive control options line by line:
|
||
|
|
a.quant = 0;
|
||
|
|
a.pause;
|
||
|
|
a.resume;
|
||
|
|
a.stop;
|
||
|
|
a.play;
|
||
|
|
a.pause;
|
||
|
|
a.play;
|
||
|
|
a.stop(1000);
