Creative Computing - Week 9 - Streams (2)

This week I have kept the synth simple once again and focused on gaining a fundamental understanding of the subject matter. The 'Event' class was a bit tough, but up to the end of the 'Environment' section I believe I'm on the right track.

I wanted to incorporate the Pbind class in some way, but time has restricted me to utilising the Pshuf and Pser objects. These are organised into a shuffled list of Pser's that exist inside a Pshuf Object and have similar but varying data for musical effect. I have included nil values at one index of each Pser list to give some rhythmic variety. The clever touch this week was getting a task to exist within another task. This allowed the patch to play through the shuffled sequence via the internal task and repeat it exactly or partly according to a preset variable. The external or 'superTask' as I have named it then reshuffles the list and the new list is played through the desired number of times.
