NodeEvent

synth- and group- like interface of Event

Description

The methods Event: -synth and Event: -group set the parent event of the receiver to specialized events that duplicate the functionality of Synth and Group objects. These objects follow the naming conventions of patterns (i.e., groups and addActions are integer ID's) and have the same stop/play/pause/resume interface as the EventStreamPlayers created by Pattern-play. So, they can be used interchangeably with patterns in control schemes and GUI's.

The following example creates a group with nodeID = 2 and plays a synth within it.

Interface

play

starts synth or group, returns this.delta

stop

if ev[\hasGate] == true set gate to 0, otherwise frees the node

pause

disables the node

resume

reenables the node

set( key, value)

sets control identified by key to value

split

returns an array of events, one for each synth or group specified by the receiver

map(key, busID)

maps control to control bus

before(nodeID)

moves to immediately before nodeID

after(nodeID)

moves to immediately after nodeID

headOf(nodeID)

moves to immediately to head of nodeID

tailOf(nodeID)

moves to immediately to tail of nodeID

Multi-channel expansion

With the exception of ~server, ~latency, and ~instrument any key in the event can have an array as a value and the standard rules of multi-channel expansion will be followed.
