Re: [sc-users] Newb question - creating subclass for audio signals

[James Harkins <jamshark70@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think there's any need for a subclass or hardcoded methods. A dictionary of functions would do.

~filters = (

filter1: { |input ... args|

LPF.ar(input, *args)

},

filter2: { |input ... args|

HPF.ar(input, *args)

},

...

);

SynthDef( "Filtering", {

    var signal1, signal2;

    signal1 = PlayBuf.ar( 2, bufNum );

    signal2 = PinkNoise.ar(1.0);    

    signal1 = ~filters[\filter1].value(signal1);

    signal2 = ~filters[\filter2].value(signal2);

} );

// or, for a slightly cleaner function-call syntax:

~filters = (

// see the Environment helpfile under "prototypes" for more about 'self'

filter1: { |self, input ... args|

LPF.ar(input, *args)

},

filter2: { |self, input ... args|

HPF.ar(input, *args)

},

...

);

SynthDef( "Filtering", {

    var signal1, signal2;

    signal1 = PlayBuf.ar( 2, bufNum );

    signal2 = PinkNoise.ar(1.0);    

    signal1 = ~filters.filter1(signal1);

    signal2 = ~filters.filter2(signal2);

} );
