Re: [sc-users] Pbind re-scales amplitude automatically?

[Djého Youn <ydjeho@xxxxxxxxx>]

it works very good!
it's quite strange that I've never thought about put \amp value in patterns, as now it seems to be so obvious...

I'll definitely look at Pchain, anyway I'm following this series of pattern tutorials at this moment.

thank you very much.

(when the each patterns overlaps, there must be this loud "TAKK!" sound)

Event.default.db

--> -20

Event.default.use { ~amp.value }

--> 0.1

There are several argument names that are (so to speak) "reserved" and pre-filled with some default values in the default Event prototype. \amp is one of them.

It's easy to override \amp in your pattern, though. That's easier than changing your SynthDef.

c = Pbind(\instrument, \jack,
        \freq, Pwhite(1, 20, inf),
        \dur, Pwhite(1, 5, inf),

\amp, 1,

        \dTime, Pwhite(0.00001, 0.005, inf)
).play;

Or:

c = Pchain(Pbind(\instrument, \jack,

        \freq, Pwhite(1, 20, inf),
        \dur, Pwhite(1, 5, inf),

        \dTime, Pwhite(0.00001, 0.005, inf)

// the event contained inside Pchain overrides default values
), (amp: 1)).play;

Pchain is actually really powerful - it can do a lot more than just this. See the PG_06c_Composition_of_Patterns helpfile.
