PlayerMixer

Extension

Description

Plays all of the players, mixing them together in its own synth.( c = FloatArray[1,2,4,5,6,8,13]; // an array buffer loads an array onto the server d = ArrayBuffer(c); Instr(\helpPlayerMixer, { arg degree=1,amp=1.0,scale; var freq; //freq = degree.degreeToKey([0,1,3,5,7,9,11]); freq = DegreeToKey.kr(scale.bufnumIr,degree + 30,12.0); Saw.ar([freq,freq ],amp) }); p = PlayerMixer([ Patch(\helpPlayerMixer,[ KrNumberEditor(5,\degree), KrNumberEditor(0.3,\amp), d ]), Patch(\helpPlayerMixer,[ KrNumberEditor(3,\degree), KrNumberEditor(0.3,\amp), d ]), Patch(\helpPlayerMixer,[ KrNumberEditor(1,\degree), KrNumberEditor(0.3,\amp), d ]) ]); p.gui )

Patching of this combined output is easy. They are treated like a single unit.( Patch({ arg audio,ffreq=100,rq=0.1; RHPF.ar(audio,ffreq,rq) },[ p // that you created in the above example ]).gui )

Examples

It is possible to dynamically add, replace or remove players( Instr(\testSine,{arg freq=1000,mul=0.1; SinOsc.ar(freq,0,mul)}); a=PlayerMixer([ Patch(\testSine,[400,0.1]), Patch(\testSine,[800,0.08]), Patch(\testSine,[1600,0.06]) ]); ) a.play; a.addPlayer(Patch(\testSine,[2000,0.2])); a.addPlayer(Patch(\testSine,[2400,0.15])); a.addPlayer(Patch(\testSine,[2800,0.1])); a.addPlayer( Patch(\testSine, [rrand(400,4000),0.1 ] ) ); ( Instr(\testSine,{arg freq=1000,mul=0.1; SinOsc.ar(freq,0,mul)}); a=PlayerMixer([ Patch(\testSine,[400,0.1]), Patch(\testSine,[800,0.08]), Patch(\testSine,[1600,0.06]) ]); b=PlayerPool([a]).autostart_(true); ) b.choose b.play; a.addPlayer(Patch(\testSine,[2000,0.2])); b.select(0); //crashes a.addPlayer(Patch(\testSine,[2400,0.15])); b.select(0); //crashes a.addPlayer(Patch(\testSine,[2800,0.1])); b.select(0); //crashes
