TorusPanAz

Extension

Description

TorusPanAz is a panner for toroidal shaped setups. Can also be used for stacks of rings (cylinders) where panning beyond the top wraps back into the bottom.

First code examples:s.boot; ( z = { |hPos=0, vPos=0, hWidth=2, vWidth=2| TorusPanAz.ar([8, 4, 4], Dust.ar(1000), hPos, vPos, 1, hWidth, vWidth); }.scope; ) // Check with SpatioScope: SpatioScope.rings([8, 4, 4]); z.set(\hPos, 0.25); z.set(\hPos, 0.5); z.set(\hPos, 0, \vPos, 0.667); // into middle ring z.set(\hPos, 0.5); z.set(\hPos, 1); z.set(\hPos, 0, \vPos, 1.333); // into top ring z.set(\hPos, 0.5); z.set(\hPos, 1); z.set(\hPos, 0, \vPos, 1.666); // wrap back into bottom ring: half ... z.set(\hPos, 0, \vPos, 2); // ... and fully back z.set(\hWidth, 4); // horizontal width z.set(\hPos, 0.25); z.set(\hPos, 0.5); z.set(\hWidth, 2); z.set(\vWidth, 3); // vertical width; not usually useful. z.set(\vPos, 0.666); z.set(\vPos, -0.666); z.set(\vWidth, 2); // use for panning on a sphere: ( z = { |hPos, vPos| TorusPanAz.ar([1, 4, 6, 4, 1], Dust.ar(1000), hPos, vPos, 1, vOrient: 2); }.scope; ) z.set(\vPos, 0); // middle ring z.set(\vPos, 0.4); // top ring z.set(\vPos, 0.8); // top 1 z.set(\hPos, 1); // turn horiz 180 deg z.set(\vPos, 0.4); // top ring, other side z.set(\vPos, 0); // mid ring z.set(\vPos, -0.4); // bottom ring z.set(\vPos, -0.8); // bottom 1 z.set(\hPos, 0); // rotate back.
