Re: [sc-users] wooh-kiki-woohwooh - Sequencing from text, using BufRd and Phasor

[Andrew Robinson <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks ccos, that was very helpful.


By  "your arguments to BufRd are wrong", I assume you mean I should have

BufRd.ar(numChannels, bufnum, phase, loop)

retval = BufRd.ar(1,buf, Phasor.ar(0, BufRateScale.kr(0), start, end),0);

instead of just

retval = BufRd.ar(1,buf, Phasor.ar(0, BufRateScale.kr(0), start, end));

Am I right, or is it something else?

With the change above, I still have the looping problem.


I would like to understand how Phasor works too though.
My usage of it is just pasted straight from the BufRd helpfile. 

Apple J on Phasor shows me:

Phasor : UGen {
*ar { arg trig = 0.0, rate = 1.0, start = 0.0, end = 1.0, resetPos = 0.0;
^'audio', trig, rate, start, end, resetPos)
}
*kr { arg trig = 0.0, rate = 1.0, start = 0.0, end = 1.0, resetPos = 0.0;
^'control', trig, rate, start, end, resetPos)
}
}

I can trace this to 

Ugen.SC, and *multiNewList

Where to from there though?
At what point do things become objective C?
Where would I look to see the code for that? On Sourceforge?


Thanks,

Andrew
