class:: Sweep summary:: Triggered linear ramp categories:: UGens>Triggers Description:: Starts a linear raise by rate/sec from zero when trig input crosses from non-positive to positive. When rate == 1, Sweep may be used to get a continually-updating measurement of the time (in seconds) since the last trigger. classmethods:: private:: categories method::ar, kr argument::trig triggers when trig input crosses from non-positive to positive. argument::rate rate/sec raise rate Examples:: code:: // using sweep to modulate sine frequency ( { var trig; trig = Impulse.kr(MouseX.kr(0.5, 20, 1)); SinOsc.ar(Sweep.kr(trig, 700) + 500, 0, 0.2) }.play; ) // using sweep to index into a buffer b = Buffer.read(s, Platform.resourceDir +/+ "sounds/a11wlk01.wav"); ( { var trig; trig = Impulse.kr(MouseX.kr(0.5, 10, 1)); BufRd.ar(1, b, Sweep.ar(trig, BufSampleRate.ir(0))) }.play; ) // backwards, variable offset ( { var trig, pos, rate; trig = Impulse.kr(MouseX.kr(0.5, 10, 1)); rate = BufSampleRate.ir(0); pos = Sweep.ar(trig, rate.neg) + (BufFrames.ir(0) * LFNoise0.kr(0.2)); BufRd.ar(1, b, pos) }.play; ) // raising rate ( { var trig, rate; trig = Impulse.kr(MouseX.kr(0.5, 10, 1)); rate = Sweep.kr(trig, 2) + 0.5; BufRd.ar(1, b, Sweep.ar(trig, BufSampleRate.ir(0) * rate)) }.play; ) b.free :: Sweep can be used as a resettable link::Classes/Phasor:: or link::Classes/Line:: - one that can start, pause, resume and stop.
