FractureSynth
Extension
ExtensionDescription
FractureSynth returns a SynthDef capable of playing back a chip of the given fracture object. It also defines the modified note event type /fchip, which makes chips playable. Every fracture object automatically creates a default SynthDef on which its chips play back.
Class Methods
.new
Create a new SynthDef for playing fracture chips.
Arguments:
| fracture |
The fracture to reference. |
| numChannels |
Number of channels for playback (1 or 2). |
| pan |
Choose default pan position for playback (float -1..1), or specify pan behavior: \scatter = play each chip at random pan position, \pitch = play chips arrayed by pitch (left low, right high), \pos = pan position matches playhead position in the buffer |
| gain |
Apply db gain to playback. |
| normalize |
Specify how much normalization to apply to output (1 = all chips reach peak amplitude, 0 = no normalization). |
| env |
An array describing a segmented array [attack ratio, release ratio, curve]. For example [0.1, 0.5, \sine] means attack for 0.1 * the length of the chip, release for half the length of the chip, and use a sine curve shape. Alternatively, use \sine or \triangle to use an even sine or triangle curve over the length of the chip. |
| rate |
Default rate of playback. Whether this rate is negative or positive determines whether to start playback from the start or the end of the chip. (NOTE: the synth will also take an argument "rate" which will act as a scalar for this rate.) |
Returns:
a SynthDef with the following arguments:
- offset
- Offset start position of the chip (in samples!)
- clip
- Scale chip length (1 = entire chip, 0.5 = play from start of chip to halfway through chip).
- zoom
- Scale chip length (0 = no zoom, 0.5 = play half of the chip, maintaining chip center).
- amp
- Scale amplitude.
- rate
- Scale playrate.
- pan
- Set pan position. (NOTE: If outside standard pan range (-1..1) then SynthDef defaults to pan behavior specified on initiation (\scatter, \pos, etc.)).
- out
- Set output.
Instance Methods
.fracture
Returns:
The fracture associated with this FractureSynth.
