Pgrids
Extension
ExtensionDescription
SuperCollider port of drum sequencer Eurorack module Grids by Mutable Instruments.
Yields the durations between hits. If you want to use it in a Tdef check out the documentation of ScGrids.
For more information check the manual of the module https://mutable-instruments.net/modules/grids/manual/
Class Methods
.new
Calculates the durations between hits according to the parameters of the sequencer. If you also need the levels of the sequences see PgridsValue
Arguments:
| instrument |
One of 'kick', 'hihat' or 'snare'. |
| density |
Density of drum pattern between [0, 1] where 0 is muted and 1 is the most dense pattern according to the parameters. |
| x |
x position on the drum map - between [0, 1] |
| y |
y position on the drum map - between [0, 1] |
| bias |
adds an offset to the signal and mimics therefore the chaos parameter of the original module. |
Examples
Add some basic drum synths to the server and setup a clock.
lets play some drums
lets make them more flexible by chaining some patterns inside
Add some dynamics with PgridsValue which gives us the values of each hit we use Pkey so both patterns have always the same values because otherwise the values would not match anymore
Add chaos to the values by introducing the bias parameter we need to create the random bias outside of the pattern so both patterns Pgrids and PgridsValue work with the same randomness
stop the patterns
