Ptuple combine a list of streams to a stream of lists


superclass: ListPatterns


Ptuple(list, repeats)

list: an Array of Patterns

repeats: an Integer or inf

At each iteration, Ptuple returns a tuple (array) combining the output of each of the patterns in the list.  When any of the patterns returns a nil, Ptuple ends that 'repeat' and restarts all of the streams.


(

var a, b;

a = Pseq([1, 2, 3], inf);

b = Pseq([65, 76], inf);

c = Ptuple([a, a, b], inf);

x = c.asStream;

8.do({ x.next.postln; });

)



(

var a, b;

a = Pseq([1, 2, 3], inf);

b = Pseq([65, 76], 3); // stops after 3 cycles

c = Ptuple([a, a, b], 4); // stops after 4 cycles

x = c.asStream;

8.do({ x.next.postln; });

)



Ptuple used as a sequence of pitches (chords)

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

}).add;

a = Pseq([73, 71, 69, 69, 65, 64], inf);

b = Pseq([0, 0, 0, 4, 0, 3, 2], inf) + a;

c = Ptuple([a, b], inf);

x = c.asStream;
