PyoObjectBase

class PyoObjectBase

Base class for all pyo objects.

This object encapsulates some common behaviors for all pyo objects.

One typically inherits from a more specific subclass of this class instead of using it directly.

Note

Operations allowed on all PyoObjectBase

>>> len(obj)      # Return the number of streams managed by the object.
>>> obj[x]        # Return stream `x` of the object.
>>>               # `x` is a number from 0 to len(obj)-1.
>>>               # Illegal indexing returns None.
>>> dir(obj)      # Return the list of attributes of the object.
>>> for x in obj: # Can be used as an iterator (iterates over
...     pass      # object's audio streams).

_STREAM_TYPE

Private Methods:

_autoplay([dur, delay])
_autostop([wait])

---

dump()

Print infos about the current state of the object.

Print the number of Stream objects managed by the instance and the current status of the object’s attributes.

getBaseObjects()

Return a list of Stream objects managed by the instance.

getServer()

Return a reference to the current Server object.

getSamplingRate()

Return the current sampling rate (samples per second), as a float.

getBufferSize()

Return the current buffer size (samples per buffer), as an integer.

allowAutoStart(switch=True)

When autoStartChildren is activated in the Server, call this method with False as argument to stop the propagation of play/out/stop methods to and from this object. This is useful when an object is used at multiple places and you don’t want to loose it when you stop one dsp block.

Note

This flag is ignored if you pass a _base object instead of a PyoObject. In the following code, a[0] will still be stopped by a b.stop(wait) call:

>>> a = Randi(min=0, max=0.3, freq=[1,2])
>>> a.allowAutoStart(False)
>>> b = Sine(mul=a[0]).out()

useWaitTimeOnStop()

When autoStartChildren is activated in the Server, call this method to force an object given to the mul attribute of another object to use the wait time from the stop method instead of being stopped immediately.

Note

Use wait time on stop is always “on” for _base objects. In the following code, a[0] will use the wait time given to b.stop(wait) even if it is used as a mul attribute:

>>> a = Randi(min=0, max=0.3, freq=[1,2])
>>> b = Sine(mul=a[0]).out()

addLinkedObject(x)

When autoStartChildren is activated in the Server, use this method to explicitly add an object in a dsp chain, which is generally controlled by the last object of the chain. Here is an example where we want an object to be linked to the chain but it can’t be automatically detected:

>>> tab = NewTable(length=2, chnls=1)
>>> rec = TableRec(Sine(500), tab, .01)
>>> amp = TrigVal(rec["trig"], 0.5)
>>> osc = Osc(tab, tab.getRate(), mul=Fader(1, 1, mul=.2))
>>> # "osc" can't know for sure that "rec" should be linked
>>> # to this dsp chain, so we add it manually.
>>> osc.addLinkedObject(rec)
>>> osc.out()

setStopDelay(x)

Set a specific waiting time when calling the stop method on this object.

This method returns self, allowing it to be applied at the object creation.

Args

x: float

New waiting time in seconds.

Note

if the method setStopDelay(x) was called before calling stop(wait) with a positive wait value, the wait value won’t overwrite the value given to setStopDelay for the current object, but will be the one propagated to children objects. This allow to set a waiting time for a specific object with setStopDelay whithout changing the global delay time given to the stop method.

Stop delay value is ignored if you pass a _base object instead of a PyoObject. In the following code, a[0] ignores the a.setStopDelay(1) call:

>>> a = Randi(min=0, max=0.3, freq=[1,2])
>>> a.setStopDelay(1)
>>> b = Sine(mul=a[0]).out()

getStopDelay()

Return the waiting time applied when calling the stop method on this object.

next()

Alias for __next__ method.

PyoObject

class PyoObject(mul=1.0, add=0.0)

Base class for all pyo objects that manipulate vectors of samples.

The user should never instantiate an object of this class.

Parent

PyoObjectBase

Args

mul: float or PyoObject, optional

Multiplication factor. Defaults to 1.

add: float or PyoObject, optional

Addition factor. Defaults to 0.

Note

Arithmetics

Multiplication, addition, division and substraction can be applied between pyo objects or between pyo objects and numbers. Doing so returns a Dummy object with the result of the operation.

>>> # Creates a Dummy object `b` with `mul` set to 0.5.
>>> # Leaves `a` unchanged.
>>> b = a * 0.5

Inplace multiplication, addition, division and substraction can be applied between pyo objects or between pyo objects and numbers. These operations will replace the mul or add factor of the object.

>>> a *= 0.5 # replaces the `mul` attribute of `a`.

The next operators can only be used with PyoObject, not with XXX_base objects.

Exponent and modulo

>>> a ** 10 # returns a Pow object created as: Pow(a, 10)
>>> 10 ** a # returns a Pow object created as: Pow(10, a)
>>> a % 4 # returns a Wrap object created as: Wrap(a, 0, 4)
>>> a % b # returns a Wrap object created as: Wrap(a, 0, b)

Unary negative (-)

>>> -a # returns a Dummy object with negative values of streams in `a`.

Comparison operators

>>> # Comparison operators return a Compare object.
>>> x = a < b # same as: x = Compare(a, comp=b, mode="<")
>>> x = a <= b # same as: Compare(a, comp=b, mode="<=")
>>> x = a == b # same as: Compare(a, comp=b, mode="==")
>>> x = a != b # same as: Compare(a, comp=b, mode="!=")
>>> x = a > b # same as: Compare(a, comp=b, mode=">")
>>> x = a >= b # same as: Compare(a, comp=b, mode=">=")

A special case concerns the comparison of a PyoObject with None. All operators return False except a != None, which returns True.

---

isPlaying(all=False)

Returns True if the object is currently playing, otherwise, returns False.

Args

all: boolean, optional

If True, the object returns a list with the state of all streams managed by the object.

If False, it return a boolean corresponding to the state of the first stream.

isOutputting(all=False)

Returns True if the object is outputting.

Returns True if the object is sending samples to dac, otherwise, returns False.

Args

all: boolean, optional

If True, the object returns a list with the state of all streams managed by the object.

If False, it return a boolean corresponding to the state of the first stream.

get(all=False)

Return the first sample of the current buffer as a float.

Can be used to convert audio stream to usable Python data.

Object that implements string identifier for specific audio streams must use the corresponding string to specify the stream from which to get the value. See get() method definition in these object’s man pages.

Args

all: boolean, optional

If True, the first value of each object’s stream will be returned as a list.

If False, only the value of the first object’s stream will be returned as a float.

play(dur=0, delay=0)

Start processing without sending samples to output. This method is called automatically at the object creation.

This method returns self, allowing it to be applied at the object creation.

Args

dur: float, optional

Duration, in seconds, of the object’s activation. The default is 0 and means infinite duration.

delay: float, optional

Delay, in seconds, before the object’s activation. Defaults to 0.

out(chnl=0, inc=1, dur=0, delay=0)

Start processing and send samples to audio output beginning at chnl.

This method returns self, allowing it to be applied at the object creation.

Args

chnl: int, optional

Physical output assigned to the first audio stream of the object. Defaults to 0.

inc: int, optional

Output channel increment value. Defaults to 1.

dur: float, optional

Duration, in seconds, of the object’s activation. The default is 0 and means infinite duration.

delay: float, optional

Delay, in seconds, before the object’s activation. Defaults to 0.

If chnl >= 0, successive streams increment the output number by inc and wrap around the global number of channels.

If chnl is negative, streams begin at 0, increment the output number by inc and wrap around the global number of channels. Then, the list of streams is scrambled.

If chnl is a list, successive values in the list will be assigned to successive streams.

stop(wait=0)

Stop processing.

This method returns self, allowing it to be applied at the object creation.

Args

wait: float, optional

Delay, in seconds, before the process is actually stopped. If autoStartChildren is activated in the Server, this value is propagated to the children objects. Defaults to 0.

Note

if the method setStopDelay(x) was called before calling stop(wait) with a positive wait value, the wait value won’t overwrite the value given to setStopDelay for the current object, but will be the one propagated to children objects. This allow to set a waiting time for a specific object with setStopDelay whithout changing the global delay time given to the stop method.

Fader and Adsr objects ignore waiting time given to the stop method because they already implement a delayed processing triggered by the stop call.

mix(voices=1)

Mix the object’s audio streams into voices streams and return a Mix object.

Args

voices: int, optional

Number of audio streams of the Mix object created by this method. Defaults to 1.

If more than 1, object’s streams are alternated and added into Mix object’s streams.

Name of the attribute as a string.

value: float

New value.

port: float, optional

Time, in seconds, to reach the new value.

ctrl(map_list=None, title=None, wxnoserver=False)

Opens a sliders window to control the parameters of the object. SLMap has a dataOnly attribute to identify parameters that don’t audio signal as control but only discrete values.

If a list of values are given to a parameter, a multisliders will be used to control each stream independently.

Args

map_list: list of SLMap objects, optional

Users defined set of parameters scaling. There is default scaling for each object that accept ctrl method.

title: string, optional

Title of the window. If none is provided, the name of the class is used.

isPlaying(all=False)

Returns True if the object is playing, otherwise, returns False.

Args

all: boolean, optional

If True, the object returns a list with the state of all streams managed by the object.

If False, it return a boolean corresponding to the state of the first stream.

play(dur=0, delay=0)

Start processing without sending samples to output. This method is called automatically at the object creation.

This method returns self, allowing it to be applied at the object creation.

Args

dur: float, optional

Duration, in seconds, of the object’s activation. The default is 0 and means infinite duration.

delay: float, optional

Delay, in seconds, before the object’s activation. Defaults to 0.

stop(wait=0)

Stop processing.

This method returns self, allowing it to be applied at the object creation.

Args

wait: float, optional

Delay, in seconds, before the process is actually stopped. If autoStartChildren is activated in the Server, this value is propagated to the children objects. Defaults to 0.

Note

if the method setStopDelay(x) was called before calling stop(wait) with a positive wait value, the wait value won’t overwrite the value given to setStopDelay for the current object, but will be the one propagated to children objects. This allow to set a waiting time for a specific object with setStopDelay whithout changing the global delay time given to the stop method.

set(attr, value, port=0.025)

If a list of values are given to a parameter, a multisliders will be used to control each stream independently.

Args

map_list: list of SLMap objects, optional

Users defined set of parameters scaling. There is default scaling for each object that accept ctrl method.

title: string, optional

Title of the window. If none is provided, the name of the class is used.
