DemandEnvGen | SuperCollider 3.13.0 Help

Description

Plays back break point envelope contours (levels, times, shapes) given by demand ugens. The next values are called when the next node is reached.

Class Methods

DemandEnvGen.ar(level, dur, shape: 1, curve: 0, gate: 1.0, reset: 1.0, levelScale: 1.0, levelBias: 0.0, timeScale: 1.0, doneAction: 0)

DemandEnvGen.kr(level, dur, shape: 1, curve: 0, gate: 1.0, reset: 1.0, levelScale: 1.0, levelBias: 0.0, timeScale: 1.0, doneAction: 0)

Arguments:

level

A demand UGen or any other UGen returning level values. If this ends, the

doneAction is evaluated.

dur

A demand UGen or any other UGen returning time values. If this ends, the

doneAction is evaluated.

shape

A demand UGen or any other UGen: the number given is the shape number according to Env.

curve

A demand UGen or any other UGen returning curve values. if shape is 5, this is the curve factor.

The possible values are:

0	flat segments
1	linear segments, the default
2	natural exponential growth and decay. In this case, the levels must all be nonzero and the have the same sign.
3	sinusoidal S shaped segments.
4	sinusoidal segments shaped like the sides of a Welch window.
a Float	a curvature value for all segments.
An Array of Floats	curvature values for each segments.

gate

If gate is x ≥ 1, the UGen runs.

If gate is 0 > x > 1, the UGen is released at the next level (doneAction).

If gate is x < 0, the UGen is sampled and held.

reset

If reset crosses from non-positive to positive, the UGen is reset at the next level. If it is > 1, it is reset immediately.

levelScale

demand ugen returning level scaling values

levelBias

demand ugen returning level offset values

timeScale

demand ugen returning time scaling values

doneAction

A doneAction that is evaluated when level or duration stream ends. See Done for more detail.
