Part of: miSCellaneous


Inherits from: Object

Creation / Class Methods


*new (pHelpSynthUse)

Creates a new PHSusePlayer object.

phelpSynthUse - A PHSuse or PHSparUse object.




Status control


play(clock, quant, quantBufferTime)

clock - A TempoClock object. If not assigned, takes the default TempoClock.

quant - A Quant object. Makes the player start at the next grid that gives enough time for latency. 

quantBufferTime - Number (seconds). Calculated time to include latency for "stepping in" 

is lengthened by this value. Defaults to 0.2.



stop(addAction)

addAction - Function to be evaluated at receive time.



free

Only free this PHSusePlayer - the PHSplayer / PHSparPlayer, which is using the same HS / HSpar, is not affected.



Note: stop (pause) allows resuming the player - free resets, player can be started again. 




Examples




(

s = Server.local;

s.boot;

)



// define HS, PHS, PHSuse


(

h = HS(s, { |freq = 0.5, dev = 10, center = 65| LFDNoise3.kr(freq, dev, center) });


u = PHS(h, nil, // default help synth args

// two pbinds with different timing

Prand([0.4, 0.2],inf) , [ \midinote, Pkey(\val) + 4, \amp, 0.07  ],

0.1, [ \midinote, Pkey(\val) + 15 + Pxrand([0, 2, 5],inf), \amp, 0.04, \legato, 0.5 ]

);

v = PHSuse(h, // two pbinds with different timing

Prand([0.4, 0.2],inf) , [ \midinote, Pkey(\val), \amp, 0.07  ],

0.1, [ \midinote, Pkey(\val) + 6 + Pxrand([0, 2, 5],inf), \amp, 0.06, \legato, 0.5  ]

);

c = TempoClock(1);

q = Quant(0.2);

)



// play PHS


x = u.play(c,q);



// play PHSuse


y = v.play(c,q);



// stop PHSplayer


x.stop;



// PHSusePlayer doesn't control HS - HS synth still running, see server window


y.free;



// PHSplayer controls HS - this also stops HS synth   


x.free;
