going through the getting started tutorials here.

let's say i defined an object, x = { SinOsc.ar(400) };

x.play; will set my sine wave going. how do i stop it? is there a x.kill method or the like? (i know alt . will stop everything (on PC), but i'm looking for a less drastic solution.)

also: is there a way to change the pitch of x as written? if not, how would i define an object so that i could say x.changePitch(200); or similar? even better, how can i say x.changePitch(200+(20*SinOsc.kr(1))) ?

am noob. plz helps.

x is a function - no way to stop a function.

Code:
y = x.play;


Now 'y' is a synth, and you can .free it, and also use .set to change control inputs etc.

Code:
// collapsing x and y into one
y = { |freq = 400| SinOsc.ar(freq) }.play;

y.set(\freq, 800);


You can't directly add new units into a synth while it's playing, but you can map an input to a control bus and play whatever you want onto that bus.

Code:
c = Bus.control(s, 1);
y.set(\freq, c.asMap);   // or y.map(\freq, c);
z = { SinOsc.kr(1, 0, mul: 20, add: 200) }.play(outbus: c);
