ProxyMixer mix control for a proxyspace

Inherits from: Object

ProxyMixer provides controls for handling and editing the node proxies in a proxyspace and their monitors (cross-platform graphics).

See also: ProxySpace, NodeProxyEditor

Overview: JITLib

Creation / Class Methods

*new(proxyspace, nProxies, title, bounds)

nProxies: the maximum number of proxies you plan to use

title: window title

bounds: window bounds

Example

p = ProxySpace.push(s.boot, \p); 

m = ProxyMixer(p, 8, \p, Rect(20, 500, 0,0));

// the top left menu sets which proxies will be shown.

// existingProxies: even an empty proxy is shown

~test.ar; 

( // activeProxies: proxy appears when it is alive

~test = { |freq=250, intv=19, timescale=1, curve=0, loopnode=0| 

var env = EnvGen.kr(

Env({ 1.0.rand2 }!11, {1.0.rand}!10, curve, releaseNode: 9, loopNode: loopnode), 

timeScale: timescale);

var pitch = (env * [1, 0.33, -1] * intv).midiratio * freq;

Splay.ar(Formant.ar(pitch, pitch.scramble * 2, pitch.scramble)) * 0.1;

};

)

~test.lag(\freq, 4);

// playingProxies : only those that really play are shown.

~test.playN(vol: 1);

// switch back to active proxies...

// the reduce button removes all proxies that are not playing

// and that are not used as sources in other proxies:

~otto = { |dens=12| Dust.ar(dens) };

~otto.clear; // remove it

p.reduce;

// doc and docc post the current proxyspace as code,

p.document;

// openEdit opens the editor zone, see below;

m.openEditZone(1);

// R opens a Record utility, see below. 

// the line of controls for one proxy and its monitor is 

// a ProxyMonitorGui, so for full details see ProxyMonitorGui.help.

// it displays current volume, 

~test.vol_(0.05);

~test.vol_(0.1);

// proxy name; play/stop/end control:

~test.playN; // playN as is

~test.stop; // stop 

~test.end; // option-click on stop : end the monitor and the proxy itself.

~test.playN(vol: 0); // option-click on play : start playing with volume zero.

~test.vol_(0.1);

s.scope(8);

~test.playN(4); // set proxy's first output channel:

~test.playN(0);

// the "-=" / "-<" button supports multichannel monitoring, 

// see ProxyMonitorGui.help

// paus/rsum toggles pause and resume:

~test.pause;

~test.resume;

// send button resends the proxy, 

// option-click on send rebuilds the proxy

// (e.g. for lookup in client-site state)

~test.send;

~test.send;

~test.send;

~test.rebuild;

~test.rebuild;

~test.rebuild;

// the ed button sends this proxy to the editor - see below

// kr proxies show up in the middle

~lfo = { SinOsc.kr(2) };

~lfnoyz0 = { |lofreq, mul=1, add| LFDNoise0.kr(lofreq, mul, add) };

// the editor zone is a NodeProxyEditor

// open it and set some params

m.openEditZone(1);

m.editor.proxy_(~test);

~test.set(\freq, exprand(80, 1250)); // set ~tests parameters

~test.set(\intv, 1.0.linrand);

// if you declare global specs for the range of a parameter, 

// they can be used in the editor:

Spec.add(\intv, [0, 36, \lin]);

Spec.add(\timescale, [0.001, 10, \exp]);

Spec.add(\loopnode, [0, 7, \lin, 1]);

Spec.add(\curve, [-10, 10]);

m.editor.proxy_(~test);

// you can map a kr proxy to a control param;

~test.map(\intv, ~lfnoyz0);

~test.unmap(\intv);

// this also works by dragging the kr proxy name 

// the field left of the param name.

// some more tests :

// if there are too many ar proxies, a scroller appears

( // test too many 

10.do { |i| p[("test" ++ i).asSymbol] = { 

Pan2.ar(Ringz.ar(Impulse.ar(exprand(0.5, 4)), exprand(300, 3000), 0.02), 1.0.rand2, 0.2) }; 

};

)

10.do { |i| p[("test" ++ i).asSymbol].playN(vol: linrand(1.0), fadeTime: exprand(0.01, 5)) };

// and the same for kr proxies

10.do { |i| p[("kr" ++ i).asSymbol] = { LFNoise0.kr(exprand(5, 50)) }; };

p.krProxyNames.do { |key| p.removeAt(key) };

p.reduce(method: \clear);

p.clean;
