Does anyone know how you can dynamically build a 'signal path', say I have this very simple path:

SqrOsc osc => outlet;

and depending on some user input I want to insert various modulations in between osc and outlet - could be first the user wants to insert a reverb and then later he wants to also add a low pass filter in between the reverb and the outlet.

You can unhook and hook up UGens dynamically, and I think you can create new ones in a function. Here's something I just tried, seems to work:

Code:
SinOsc s => dac;

fun void hookInReverb() {
   s =< dac;
   s => JCRev r => dac;
}
500 => s.freq;
hookInReverb();

1::second => now;

Hey, that is interesting .. with some front end you could make a modular out of that.

I actually fiddled with a web front end with exactly that in mind for a day or two a while ago. Smile

Thanks for the tip Antimon:) I just wonder then what to do if subsequentially another ugen needs to be inserted after the reverb. I would need to store a reference to the last inserted ugen, but what will be the type of the variable.. it would be easy if we could declare a variable of the superclass 'ugen', but that I think is not possible - suppose I would have to wrap each type of ugen in it's own class inheriting from Chubgraph..

Hmm good point. I felt I had to try this out and check if there was such a thing as a superclass. Turns out there is!

Code:
SinOsc s => dac;

fun void hookInReverb() {
   JCRev r @=> UGen newUgen;
   s =< dac;
   s => newUgen => dac;
}
500 => s.freq;
hookInReverb();

1::second => now;


You need to use the reference assignment operator @=> here, since otherwise you'd just try to connect the output of r to the input of newUgen.

Sometimes it pays to just try things out. :)

Ah.. I think I tried 'Ugen' and 'ugen' (as it's written in the documentation) but of course not 'UGen'... thanks:)
