class:: Pgate
summary:: A gated stream that only advances when a particular event key is true.
related:: Classes/Pn
categories:: Streams-Patterns-Events>Patterns>Repetition
description::
Pgate advances its subpattern whenever strong::key:: is true. Pgate must be used within an Event pattern. You can either set the key manually, or use LINK::Classes/Pn::.
CLASSMETHODS::
METHOD:: new
ARGUMENT:: pattern
The source pattern to be filtered.
ARGUMENT::repeats
Repeat the enclosed pattern strong::repeats:: times.
ARGUMENT::key
Pgate will only return the next value in the source pattern if the event that it belongs to has strong::key:: set to true. Otherwise it will keep returning the same value. This allows for a gated effect on streams.
Examples::
code::
// Use \step to change the octave randomly
(
Pbind(
\degree, Pseq((0..7), inf),
\step, Pseq([false, false, false, true, false, true, false], inf),
\octave, Pgate(Pwhite(3,7), inf, \step),
\dur, 0.2
).play
)
::
code::
// Pn advances Pgate each time its subpattern is repeated
(
Pbind(
\degree, Pn(Pseq((0..7)), inf, \step),
\mtranspose, Pgate(Pwhite(0,5), inf, \step),
\dur, 0.2
).play
)
// Two different Pgates advanced at two different rates
(
Pbind(
\scale, Scale.minor,
\foo, Pn(Pseq((0..2)),inf, \step1),
\degree, Pn(Pseq((0..7).mirror), inf, \step),
\ctranspose, Pgate(Pwhite(0,5), inf, \step) + Pgate(Pseq([0,7,0,-7], inf), inf, \step1),
\dur, 0.2
).play
)
