Examples

Monitoring Values in a Synth

(
var w, a, r, b, q;
w = Window("Frequency Monitor", Rect(200, Window.screenBounds.height - 200, 300, 150)).front;

a = StaticText(w, Rect(45, 10, 200, 20)).background_(Color.rand);
a.string = " Current Frequency ";

Button.new(w, Rect(45, 70, 200, 20)).states_([[ "close", Color.black, Color.rand ]]).action_({ w.close });

s.waitForBoot({

b = Bus.new(\control, 0, 1);

q = SynthDef(\Docs_FreqMonitor, {
        var freq, snd;
        freq = LFNoise0.ar(2, 400, 650);
        snd = SinOsc.ar(freq, 0, 0.2);
        Out.ar(0, snd);
        Out.kr(b.index, freq); // output the frequency to a control bus
    }).play;

r = Routine {
        {
            // Set the value of the StaticText to the value in the control bus.
            // Setting GUI values is asynchronous, so you must use .defer in the system clock.
            // Also you must check if the window is still open, since Routine will continue for at least
            // one step after you close the window.
            b.get({ |v|
                {
                    if(w.isClosed.not) {
                        a.string = " Current Frequency: " ++ v.round(0.01)
                    }
                }.defer
            });

        }.loop

}.play
});

CmdPeriod.doOnce({ w.close });
w.onClose = { r.stop; q.free; b.free }; // clean up if the window closes
