Re: [sc-dev] MonitorGUI in JitLib

[adc <alberto.decampo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ron, 

not sure I understand what the problem is you are reporting? 

In v 3.6.1, I just tested this: 

n = NdefGui();   // blank NdefGui

n.object_(Ndef(\a)); // Ndef(\a) is still undefined, so Monitor zone is disabled, correct

s.boot;              // still disabled, not yet defined whether audio or control

Ndef(\a, { Saw.ar });// now Ndef(\a) is audio, so monitor zone is enabled, correct 

So as long as the proxy object is not \audio, you can't play it. 
I guess the design idea for that was, if you want it to be be audio, 
without an audio function, you would initialize it in writing, e.g. ~a.play to, or ~a.ar(2).

Would you prefer to be able to init an ndef by hitting the play button?

--- ok, tested with MonitorGui:

s.quit;
m= MonitorGui();   // blank NdefGui
m.object_(Ndef(\a)); // Ndef(\a) is still undefined, so Monitor zone is disabled, correct
Ndef(\a).ar;   // now enabled; can't play because server is off
s.boot;         // now it is disabled again - this is wrong - that is the bug you mean, yes?
Ndef(\a, { Saw.ar });// now fine, can play.


the update is done like this: 
MonitorGui calls getState regularly with a SkipJack, which gets all the relevant info from its object.
then checkUpdate checks if anything relevant changed compared to the previous object state, 
and updates only the respective gui elements.

I did not see yet why server quit/boot throws the MonitorGui off,
but can try to check when I have time. 


best, adc
