This UGen takes an audio-rate input and commutes chunks of samples. It allows the user to program the pattern following which the chunks will be played. To avoid bad behaviour, "freq" parameter must always be strictly > 0 and <= double the input samplerate. High frequencies lead to distortion and resonance, low frequencies lead to auto-arpeggio-like and repetition-like effects.
in |
An audio-rate input. |
freq |
The frequency at which you wish the permutation to occur. For example, a 100Hz value applied on a 44100Hz input generates chunks of 441 samples. Since chunks must contain an integer number of samples, some frequencies yield the same result, because the chunk length is rounded. |
pattern |
An array of integers representing the pattern you wish the chunks to be follow. For example, patterns like [0,1], [0,1,2] won't result in any permutation, while a [1,0] will yield the same result as an PermMod UGen with the same "freq" parameter. In order to function, the pattern must consist only of scrambles of sequencial positive numbers. Thus, patterns like [0,-2,1] , [1,4,5,5] or [0,1,1,2] won't be accepted. |
mul |
Output will be multiplied by this value. |
add |
This value will be added to the output. |
A commuted audio-rate output.
