Generate a periodic multichannel function from breakpoint ranges The mc.evolve~ object accepts breakpoints consisting of ranges where both the domain and range go from 0 to 1. It maps this set of ranges across the space of a multichannel output signal, where the first channel in the output signal outputs the low end of the range and the last channel outputs the high end. Connect a phasor~ or another time-varying signal to mc.evolve~ to drive the output. Cycling '74 MSP MC Driving Phase, list Sets Function TEXT_HERE Driving Phase, list Sets Function TEXT_HERE Output TEXT_HERE Query value for an output channel When mc.evolve~ receives a chanval message it will send the value of its output for a given channel index (1 - N) and input value (0-1) out its middle outlet. This value is a point within the output range at the given input position. Query value of the output range When mc.evolve~ receives a float message (0-1) it will send the two values representing its current output range at the given input position out its right outlet. Number of output channels Sets the number of channels in the output multichannel signal. Converted to float TEXT_HERE Function range at a given index When mc.evolve~ receive a float (0-1), it outputs a list out its right outlet containing its output range at the given location. Add a new breakpoint A list message adds a new breakpoint to the function stored by mc.evolve~. Up to 3 values can be used to specify the x (input) postion, upper y (output) value, and lower y (output) value. If the list contains two values, it creates a breakpoint with a fixed y value at the x postion. An optional 3rd value specifies the lower y value range. Query channel value at index When mc.evolve~ receives a chanval message it will send the value of its output for a given channel index (1 - N) and input value (0-1). This value is a point within the output range at the given input position. Clear breakpoints The clear message with no arguments clears all breakpoints in the current function. An optional index argument can be used to specify a breakpoint to clear. Breakpoints indices are ordered based on their x-position, with position 0 representing the 0.0 x position. The mc.evolve~ object always maintains a breakpoint at both the 0. and 1. positions. Print current function Sending the printfunction message to mc.evolve~ prints each breakpoint in the current function on its own line to the console. Breakpoints are multi-element lists in the form x: (float) y: (float1) (float2). Driving function Use a phasor~ or other time-varying signal with a 0-1 range to drive the multichannel output of mc.evolve~. Output Channels The number of output channels can be reduced from the value specified by the object's argument; in this case extra outputs will be zero and the output range will be spread over a smaller number of channels. Include Range Endpoints Determines how endpoint values are taken into account when calculating values for each output channel. Ignore Endpoints Use neither the low or high endpoint values when calculating mc channel values. Use Endpoints Use the low enpoint value for the first channel and high endpoint value as the last channel when calculating mc channel values. Use Low Uses the low endpoint value for the first channel and calculates all other channel values accordingly. Use High Uses the high endpoint value for the last channel and calculates all other channel values accordingly.
