 | class:: Psym
summary:: use a pattern of symbols to embed Pdefs
categories:: JITLib>Patterns, Live Coding
related:: Classes/Pdef
description::
for non-event patterns see link::Classes/Pnsym::. Overview: link::Overviews/JITLib::.
ClassMethods::
method::new
argument::pattern
a pattern that returns symbols or characters. Arrays are converted to parallel patterns ( link::Classes/Ppar:: ).
argument::dict
the dictionary to be used for lookup. By default, this is code::Pdef.all::, so one can embed Pdefs by name.
InstanceMethods::
method::dict
set the dictionary to be used.
Examples::
code::
(
// load a synthdef
s.boot;
SynthDef(\gpdef,
	{ |out=0, freq=440, sustain=0.05, amp=0.1, pan|
		var env;
		env = EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.01, sustain), doneAction: Done.freeSelf) * amp;
		Out.ar(out, Pan2.ar(SinOsc.ar(freq, 0, env), pan))
	}).add;
)
Pdef(\x, Pbind(\dur, Pn(0.25, 3), \instrument, \gpdef));
Pdef(\y, Pchain(Pbind(\degree, Prand([5, 9, 0], inf), \legato, Pseq([0.3, 2.2], inf)), Pdef(\x)));
Pdef(\z, Pchain(Pbind(\degree, Pseq([0, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9], 1)), Pn(Pdef(\y))));
Pdef(\play, Psym(Pseq([\x, \x, Prand([\x, \y]), \z, \y], inf).trace)).play;
// change root pattern:
Pdef(\x, Pbind(\dur, Pn(0.125, 2), \instrument, \gpdef));
Pdef(\x, Pbind(\dur, Pn(0.125, 3), \instrument, \gpdef, \ctranspose, 2));
Pdef(\x, Pbind(\dur, Pn(0.125, 2), \instrument, \gpdef, \ctranspose, 0));
// change sequence:
Pdef(\play, Psym(Prand([Pseq([\x, \y], 5), Pseq([\z, \y], 5)], inf).trace)).play;
// use a sequence of characters:
Pdef(\play, Psym(Pseq("xxyxxzz", inf).trace)).play;
// play in parallel:
(
Pdef(\play, Psym(
	Prand([
		Pseq([[\x, \y], \z], 5),
		Pseq([[\z, \y], \x, \x, \y])
		]
	, inf).trace)
).play
);
Pdef(\z, Pchain(Pbind(\mtranspose, -5), Pdef(\y)));
Pdef(\y, Pchain(Pbind(\degree, Pseq([4, 3, 4, 2, 4, 1, 4, 0], 1)), Pdef(\x)));
Pdef(\play).stop; // stop it
Pdef.clear; // clear all
