KtlLoop

Extension

Description

KtlLoop can recorded events from input controllers, and play them back with the time manipulations of EventLoop. It can use those events to set an object's params based on a ktlMap. It can further rescale the recorded events in equally flexible ways - scaling, shifting, inversion.// make a sound to control ( Ndef(\form, { |freq = 50, shape = 0.9, ffreq = 200, amp = 0.1, lag = 0.1| var snd = VarSaw.ar(freq.lag(lag) + [0.1, -0.1], 0, shape.lag(lag)); Formlet.ar(snd * amp.lag(lag), ffreq.lag(lag), 0.003, 0.03).softclip; }).play(vol: 0.2); // add specs for its unusual params: Ndef(\form).addSpec(\shape, [0, 1]); Ndef(\form).addSpec(\ffreq, \freq); ) // make a KtlLoop for it ( k = KtlLoop(\form); // tell it which params will be recorded for control input: k.paramsToRecord_([\lx, \ly, \rx, \ry]); // simple usage case: // tell it which object will be controlled k.object_(Ndef(\form)); // and declare which input params set which object params k.ktlMap_((lx: \freq, ly: \shape, rx: \ffreq, ry: \amp)); ) // make 4 channel controller: // put params into an event, store it, // and set the object from it ( w = Window("KtlLoop.help", Rect(0,500, 400, 550)).front; w.view.addFlowLayout; Slider2D(w, Rect(0,0,190,190)) .action_({ |sl| // put params into an event, var event = (lx: sl.x, ly: sl.y); // store it, k.recordEvent(event.put(\type, \set)); // and set the object from it k.setuObj(event); }); Slider2D(w, Rect(0,0,190,190)) .action_({ |sl| var event = (rx: sl.x, ry: sl.y); k.recordEvent(event.put(\type, \set)); k.setuObj(event); }); // make an eventloopgui for KtlLoop KtlLoopGui(k, parent: w, bounds: 330@180); w.view.decorator.nextLine.shift(0, 10); // and an NdefGui for the Ndef NdefGui(Ndef(\form), 6, w); ) // try recording: k.startRec; // ... // now move the two sliders // ... // ... k.stopRec; k.listInfo; k.play; // Rescaling Gestures - all recorded controller values // can be scaled, shifted, and inverted. k.rescaled = false; k.rescaled = true; // decrease range toward center k.scaler = 0.5; k.scaler = 0.25; // shift up or down k.shift = 0.1; k.shift = -0.1; // invert range k.invert; k.up; k.flipInv; k.dontRescale(\lx); k.doRescale(\lx); k.postKtlInfo;
