PlazyEnvir instantiate new patterns from a function

superclass: Plazy

Evaluates a function that returns a pattern and embeds it in a stream.

In difference to Plazy, the function is evaluated using the environment passed in by the stream

PlazyEnvir(func)

func: A function that returns a pattern or any other valid pattern input

(

a = PlazyEnvir({ arg a=0, b=1; Pshuf([a, a, b], 2) }); // a, b default to 0,1

x = Pn(a, inf).asStream;

10.do { x.next.postln }; Post.nl;

e = (a:100);

10.do { x.next(e).postln }; Post.nl;

e = (a:100, b:200);

10.do { x.next(e).postln };

)

PlazyEnvir used to produce a Pbind:

(

SynthDef(\help_sinegrain,

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

var env;

env = EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.01, sustain, 0.2), doneAction:2);

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

}).store;

a = PlazyEnvir({ arg g=0, h=0, dur=1;

postf("g: %, h: %, dur: %\n", g, h, dur);

Pbind(

\instrument, \help_sinegrain,

\dur, dur,

\degree, Pseq([g, g, h, g, h], 2)

)

});

)

// different variants

(a <> (g: 0, h: 3, dur:0.2)).play; // single stream

(a <> (g: [0, 4], h: [3, -1], dur:0.2)).play; // same durations, two streams

// for more about the composition operator <> see: Pchain

Some parameters, like duration, cannot be used in the form of an array in the Pbind.
