Re: [sc-users] Fill array with UGen output



Something keeps me thinking about this:

.plot is a lang side method which Function also utilizes. And something like this works:

{ SinOsc.ar(1) }.plot(1)

So I'm assuming that this kind of communication between server and lang is already present. If we can buffer and plot the data coming from an UGen with a simple method, then it should be easy to implement similar functionality for Arrays (i.e. that gives the values instead of creating a window and plotting them). I really don't know where to look for adding this though, Function source and its superclass does not expose a .plot method so I think its built into the lang at source level (clueless here, maybe its somewhere else).

Alright. The OSCresponder and SendTrig combination is probably the most simple. The only disadvantage is that you can only receive one value at a time (I think...). For me this was a problem because I did pitch analysis and had to put the pitch and the amplitude of a note in a database at the same time, but if the only thing you want to do is to put some single values in an array it works great. So a little code example might look like this: ~input = Array.newClear(20); //Array to put the UGen values in (
var count;
count = 0;                                  //Initialize counter to 0
o = OSCresponder(s.addr, '/tr', { arg t, r, msg;
       //[count, msg[3]].postln;
       ~input.put(count, msg[3]);
count = (count + 1) % ~input.size; //Increment the counter, but wrap it between 0 and size of your input array minus 1
       }).add;
//Some SynthDef were you want to poll the values from
SynthDef.new("detectPitch", { arg trigID = 1;
     var input, freq, hasFreq, amp;
input = SinOsc.ar(440, 0, 1); //A source
     amp = Amplitude.kr(input);
     # freq, hasFreq = Pitch.kr(input, ampThrehold: 0.02. median: 7);
     freq = freq.cpsmidi.round(1);
SendTrig.kr(Impulse.kr(5), trigID, freq); //Increase the rate of Impulse to achieve more precision. Further note that you can send an array like //[freq, amp] but that OSCresponder will 'unpack' the array into 2 separate values so you can't use it //to write 2 values into an array at the same time.
     }).send(s);
)

The solution with a Routine is maybe a little more complicated, but then you can put more than 1 item in a database at the same time. I hope you can do something with this and if you would like to know more about the Routine solution let me know, then I'll post a little example of that one too. gr.

Ah! Michael, a code snippet is worth a thousand nodes. Please do, and thanks! Sounds great.

    I have been working on the same thing bassically. I came up with 2
    solutions. 1 indeed by using OSCresponder and SendTrig, but
    actually the one I ended up using was to just use a control rate
    bus to send my Ugen data to and then I build a loop with a
    Routine that accesses the bus with the .getn message and stores
    the data in an Array with a counter that gets incremented each
    time through the loop.
If you need more specific code, I can put up a short example. Good luck, gr. Michael

    Take a look at OSCresponderNode and SendTrig. This would probably
    be the easiest way to do it (and access the values in the lang).

    Best,

        Hi, I am wondering how to fill an array with the output of a
        control rate from a unit generator, possibly at pre-determined
        intervals [every 2nd, 3rd or 4th value]. Possibly a function
        that uses a ugen to return an array? I can't seem to achieve
        this on my own...
