NPVoicerL

Extension

Description

A voicer that can limit the maximum number of playing voices. Also, it can handle voices with fixed-duration synths reasonably well.

Mainly code examples and tests for now:s.boot; s.latency = nil; // make an NPVoicer with an Ndef in it // prime it to play the \default synthdef ( g = NPVoicerL(Ndef(\piano)); g.prime(\default); g.hasGate; g.play; ) // play 4 notes in it, and post voiceHistory ( g.maxVoices = 4; g.put(36, [\freq, 36.midicps, \amp, 0.2]); g.postHist; g.put(46, [\freq, 46.midicps, \amp, 0.15]); g.postHist; g.put(55, [\freq, 55.midicps, \amp, 0.12]); g.postHist; g.put(63, [\freq, 63.midicps]); g.postHist; ) // try releasing a note g.release(46); g.postHist; g.releaseAll; g.postHist; // repeat notes individually // - the previous instance of that note goes away g.put(46, [\freq, 46.midicps, \amp, 0.15]);g.postHist; g.put(55, [\freq, 55.midicps, \amp, 0.12]);g.postHist; g.put(36, [\freq, 36.midicps, \amp, 0.2]);g.postHist; g.put(63, [\freq, 63.midicps]);g.postHist; // try the steal modes: g.stealMode = \oldest; g.checkLimit; g.postHist; g.put(74, [\freq, 74.midicps, \amp, 0.1]);g.postHist; g.stealMode = \lowest; g.checkLimit; g.postHist; g.put(38, [\freq, 38.midicps, \amp, 0.1]);g.postHist; g.stealMode = \softest; g.checkLimit; g.postHist; g.put(84, [\freq, 84.midicps, \amp, 0.05]);g.postHist; // test self-ending voices with fixed durations: // the NPVoicerL tries to find out when the note will end, // and removes it from the list and the proxy. ( SynthDef(\prring, { |out, freq = (60.midicps), amp = 0.1, pan, sustain = 1.234| Out.ar(out, Pan2.ar( Formant.ar(freq, freq * 2, freq * 5), pan, XLine.kr(amp, amp * 0.001, sustain) ) ); }).add; ) g.prime(\prring); g.hasGate; g.put(64, [\freq, 64.midicps]);g.postHist; g.put(64, [\freq, 64.midicps, \sustain, 10]);g.postHist; fork { 10.do { |i| 1.wait; (" " + i + ": ").post; g.postHist; } }; g = NPVoicerL(Ndef(\piano)); // make an NPVoicer with an Ndef in it g.prime(\default); // prepare it with the default synthdef g.play; // play it // TEST SUSTAIN PEDAL: // sustain pedal holds all keys that were held, // and new keys that are plyed while sustain is on. g.put(48, [\freq, 48.midicps]); g.put(51, [\freq, 51.midicps]); g.sustain (true); // cant release them while sost-held g.release(48); g.release(51); // cant release new notes either g.put(55, [\freq, 55.midicps]); g.release(55); // play a note and hold it while releasing sustain g.put(60, [\freq, 60.midicps]); // and retrigger a note and hold it g.put(55, [\freq, 55.midicps]); g.sustainedKeysToKeep; g.sustain (false); // release them now, 60 and 55 stay g.release(55); g.release(60); // TEST SOSTENUTO PEDAL: // sostenuto holds only the keys that were held down // when sostenuto pedal gets pressed - new ones can be released. g.put(48, [\freq, 48.midicps]); g.put(51, [\freq, 51.midicps]); g.sostenuto (true); // cant release them while sost-held g.release(48); g.release(51); // can release a new note though! g.put(55, [\freq, 55.midicps]); g.release(55); // play a note and hold it while releasing sostenuto g.put(60, [\freq, 60.midicps]); g.sostenuto (false); // release them now, 60 stays g.sostenutoKeysToKeep; g.playingKeys;
