Re: [sc-users] SynthDescLib and Pbind

[scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I believe the NodeSnapshot quark can do what you're looking for.

(

g = Group();

Pbind(

\instrument, \default,

\group, g

).play;

fork {

inf.do {

TreeSnapshot.get({

|tree|

tree.postln;

}, g);

2.wait;

}

};

)

This is intended for debugging and occasional use - it's a pretty heavy-weight way of getting the parameters of a running synth, so if you're planning on calling it to get realtime status of your synth argument values, I would definitely try something else.

hi daniel,

I'm not really interested in the default values. what I want is to asynchronously take snapshots of the events values as they unfold. so far I'm using this function that I believe you shared with the list a while ago:

var get_control_values = { |synth|
    var event = ();
    var desc = SynthDescLib.global[synth.defName.asSymbol];

        desc.notNil.if {
        desc.controls.do {
            |ctl|
            if( ctl.name != '?', {
            if( ctl.numChannels > 1, {
                       synth.getn(ctl.name, ctl.numChannels,  {
                |v|

                event.put(ctl.name, v)
            })
            },
            {
              synth.get(ctl.name,  {
                |v|
                event.put(ctl.name, v)
                } );
            });
            } );
        };
    };
    event;
};

a = Synth(\default);
b = get_control_values.(a)
b.postln;

now with Pbind I know the SynthDef's name but I don't know how to obtain a
handle to the Synth.

thanks a lot for helping out.
