class:: PatternProxy
summary:: stream reference
categories:: Libraries>JITLib>Patterns, Live Coding
related:: Classes/Pdefn
description::
Keeps a reference to a stream that can be replaced while playing. Multiple streams are thus handled without creating dependencies.
ClassMethods::
private::at, hasGlobalDictionary, parallelise, postRepository, removeAll, basicNew, clear, event
method::new
create a new instance with a pattern (the source). the pattern should be a emphasis::value pattern:: (see link::Classes/Pdefn::).
for event pattern proxy, see: link::Classes/EventPatternProxy::. instead of a pattern, a strong::function:: can be passed in, creating a routine.
method::default
a default source, if none is given. the default is 1.0 (it is not 0.0 in order to make it safe for durations)
method::defaultQuant
set the default quantization value for the class. (default: nil)
method::defaultValue
a default return value, if no source is given. the default is 1.0 (it is not 0.0 in order to make it safe for durations). This is used in link::#-endless::.
InstanceMethods::
method::asStream
Return a link::Classes/Stream:: from this pattern. One pattern proxy can be used to produce any number of independent streams.
code::
a = PatternProxy.new;
a.source = Pgeom(1, Pwhite(1.01, 1.2), inf);
b = a.asStream; c = a.asStream;
b.next;
b.next;
b.next;
c.next; // c is independent from b
c.next;
a.source = Pgeom([1, 2, 3], Pwhite(1.01, 1.2), inf); // replace the source
b.next;
c.next;
::
method::embedInStream
Given a link::Classes/Stream:: like e.g. link::Classes/Routine::, yield all values from the pattern in the proxy before continuing. One pattern proxy can be used to produce values for any number of independent streams.
argument::inval
The inval is passed into all substreams and can be used to control how they behave from the outside.
argument::embed
See link::Classes/Object#-streamArg:: for explanation.
argument::default
Replacement for code::nil:: outputs of the source pattern. One use case is link::#-endless::.
code::
a = PatternProxy.new;
a.source = Pgeom(1, Pwhite(1.01, 1.2), 4);
r = Routine { loop { 2.yield; 3.yield; a.embedInStream }; };
r.nextN(12); // the next 12 values from r
a.source = Pgeom([1, 2, 3], Pwhite(1.01, 1.2), inf); // replace the source
r.nextN(12); // the next 12 values from r
::
method::source
set the source. If a quantization is given, schedule this change to the next beat
method::clear
set the source to nil
method::quant
set or get the quantization value
method::condition
provide a condition under which the pattern is switched when a new one is inserted. the stream value and a count is passed into the function. the methods strong::count_(n):: simply counts up to n and switches the pattern then
method::embedInStream
just like any pattern, embeds itself in stream
subsection::Methods implemented for subclasses
PatternProxy implements some methods for the benefits of its subclasses link::Classes/Pdefn:: / link::Classes/Pdef:: / link::Classes/Tdef:: which are not useful for link::Classes/PatternProxy:: and link::Classes/TaskProxy::.
method::envir
provide a default environment for the proxy. If given, it is used as an environment for the routine function. When set for the first time, the routine pattern is rebuilt.
method::set
set arguments in the environment. If there is none, it is created and the pattern is rebuilt.
method::endless
returns a Prout that plays the proxy endlessly, replacing strong::nil:: with a strong::default:: value (1). This allows to create streams that idle on until a new pattern is inserted.
Examples::
code::
a = PatternProxy(Pseq([1, 2, 3], inf));
x = Pseq([0, 0, a], inf).asStream;
t = Task({ loop({ x.next.postln; 0.3.wait }) }).play;
a.source = Pseq([55, 66, 77], inf);
a.source = Pseq([55, 66, 77], 1);
t.stop;
