AlgaSynthDef

Extension

See SynthDef.

Same as SynthDef, with two caveats.

1. The function should end with a UGen or an Array of UGens. Unlike SynthDef, an Out (or OffsetOut, depending on the sampleAccurate value) UGen will automatically be created according to the number of channels of the last element of the function.
2. The function must not use the \gate and \out arguments, as they are declared and used internally.

Basically, the function should only describe the actual UGen graph.

Specify an Array of symbols and numbers/arrays pairs to describe combinations of output names and channels. Futhermore, all the channels will automatically be paired with a symbol in the form of [\out1, 0, \out2, 1, etc... ]. You can define as many mappings as you want, as long as they refer to existing number of channels. See the AlgaNode help file to see how to use these mappings when connecting nodes together.// \one will have 2 channels, [0, 1] // \two will have 2 channels, [2, 3] // \three will have 1 channel, [2] // \four will have 1 channel, [3] // \five will have 1 channel, [0] ( a = AlgaSynthDef(\fourSines, { SinOsc.ar([220, 440, 880, 1760]) }, outsMapping: [\one, [0, 1], \two, [2, 3], \three, 2, \four, 3, \five, 0] ).add; ) //All the mappings are stored in an IdentityDictionary. a.outsMapping.postln;

Use OffsetOut instead of the default Out. This is mostly useful for AlgaSynthDefs that will be used in AlgaPatterns.

Use ReplaceOut instead of the default Out. This is mostly useful for AlgaSynthDefs that will be used in AlgaPatterns to emulate monophonic sequencers. Check the Examples/Extras/AlgaMonoPattern.scd and Examples/Extras/AlgaMonoPattern2.scd for such use cases.
