Pnsym use a pattern of symbols to embed Pdefn's

superclass: Psym

for event patterns see Psym

Pnsym(pattern)

pattern: a pattern that returns symbols or characters. Arrays are converted to parallel patterns (Ptuple).

dict_(a dictionary)

set the dictionary to be used

// example:

(

// load a synthdef

s.boot;

SynthDef("gpdef",

{ arg out=0, freq=440, sustain=0.05, amp=0.1, pan;

var env;

env = EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.01, sustain), doneAction:2) * amp;

Out.ar(out, Pan2.ar(SinOsc.ar(freq, 0, env), pan))

}).store;

)

Pdefn(\x, Pn(1, 3));

Pdefn(\y, Prand([5, 9, 1], 2));

Pdefn(\z, Pdefn(\y) * 2);

(

Pdef(\play,

Pbind(

\instrument, \gpdef,

\harmonic, Pnsym(Pseq([\x, \x, Prand([\x, \y]), [\z, \y], \y], inf)).trace,

\dur, 0.2, \note, 10

)

).play;

)

// change root pattern:

Pdefn(\x, Pn(2, 3));

Pdefn(\x, Pseq([1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 4, 5]));

Pdefn(\x, Pseq([1, 3, 1, 2, [1, 3], 4, 5]));
