@section{description}
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pseg defines a function of time as a breakpoint envelope using the same parameters as link::Classes/Env::. These patterns can be used to describe tempo or dynamic variations independent of the rhythmic patterns that express them.

|
|
levels
|
|
A link::Classes/Pattern:: that returns the levels. The first level is the initial value of the envelope, all subsequent values are interpolated.
|
|
|
|
@section{argument}
|
|
durs
|
|
A link::Classes/Pattern:: that returns segments durations in beats.
|
|
|
|
@section{argument}
|
|
curves
|
|
a link::Classes/Symbol::, link::Classes/Float::, or an link::Classes/Array:: of those. Determines the shape of the segments.

@section{argument}
|
|
repeats
|
|
a number.

The possible values are:

@racketblock[\step:: || || flat segments.

@racketblock[\linear:: || ]
|
|
|
|
@racketblock[\lin:: || linear segments, the default.
|
|
## ]
|
|
|
|
@racketblock[\exponential:: || ]
|
|
|
|
@racketblock[\exp:: || natural exponential growth and decay. In this case, the levels must all be nonzero and the have the same sign.
|
|
## ]
|
|
|
|
@racketblock[\sine:: || ]
|
|
|
|
@racketblock[\sin:: || sinusoidal S shaped segments.
|
|
## ]
|
|
|
|
@racketblock[\welch:: || ]
|
|
|
|
@racketblock[\wel:: || sinusoidal segments shaped like the sides of a Welch window.
|
|
## ]
|
|
|
|
@racketblock[\squared:: || ]
|
|
|
|
@racketblock[\sqr:: || squared segment.
|
|
## ]
|
|
|
|
@racketblock[\cubed:: || ]
|
|
|
|
@racketblock[\cub:: || cubed segment.
|
|
## a link::Classes/Float:: || || a curvature value for all segments. 0 means linear, positive and negative numbers curve the segment up and down.
|
|
## an link::Classes/Array:: of symbols or floats || || curvature values for each segment.
