Hello, I have just become aware of Ptpar and sequencing various patches! It has really elevated my patching up a level to allow for more complex phrasing and actual composition. BUT, but but, as the composition grows in size, the runtime to hear small changes in later patterns becomes much much longer. So I am asking if there is a way to trick Ptpar into thinking the initial time is not at 0, but at some arbitrary point. I basically want an sc pattern version of a scrubbing in a DAW.
Here is an example where we have one patch start at 0.5 s and another starting at 30.9 s. Is there away to skip to, lets say, 29 seconds? This is to avoid having to listen through the whole thing to see what patch 2 will sound like.
(
~parallelExperiments =
Ptpar([
0.5,
Pbindef(\voice3,
\instrument,\gabor3,
\sustain,0.5,
\gate, -1,
\dur,Pn(Pseg([1/64, 1/64],[16.8]) * Pwhite(0.9,1.1)),
\bufnum, Pn(Pstep([~vocalDrum[0]],[1/34])),
\amp, 0.5,
\rate1, Pn(Pseg([1,1],[46]),1), //will end patch after 46 seconds
\attack, 0.001,
\decay, 0.001,
\sus, 1,
\release, 1,
\pan, Pn(Pstep([-0.2,-1,1],[3,0.01,0.1])),
),
30.9,
Pbindef(\voice3_1,
\instrument,\gabor3,
\sustain,0.5,
\gate, -1,
\dur,Pn(Pseg([1/12, 1/12],[16.8]) * Pwhite(0.9,1.1)),
\bufnum, Pn(Pstep([~vocalDrum[4],~vocalDrum[0]],[5.4,6])),
\amp, 0.5*Pn(Pseg([0.001, 1,1,0.001,0.001],[0.001,1/12,0.01,0.01],'exp',inf)),
\rate1, Pstep([1,0.5],[1/8,1/8],13.6),
\attack, 0.001,
\decay, 0.001,
\sus, 1,
\release, 1,
\pan, Pn(Pstep([0,-1,1],[3,0.01,0.1])),
)
).play;);
Hope your days are going well,
