Basic synth parameters

To write basic music you’ll need to specify in the synth function, such as…

Note durations dur

The length of each note creating rhythms. Try:

p1 >> pluck([0,0,0], dur=[1,2,3])

Parameter amp, the “volume” of each note

p1 >> pluck([0,0,0], amp=[1,2,3])

Parameter oct changing the height/octave

p1 >> pluck([0,0,0], oct=[4,5,6])

Combination of multiple list parameters (Patterns)

If the second list, the amp in this example, is too long, then the first list (the degree) just loops, and are matched with the remaining elements from the second list (the amplitude).

p1 >> pluck([0,2,4], amp=[1,2,3,1,5])

More generally, all the lists are traversed regardless of their length.

p1 >> pluck([0,2,4], dur=[1,2], amp=[1,2,3,1,5])

Arguments can be integers, floating points, fractions, lists, tuples, or a mix

p1 >> pluck([0,0,0], dur=2)

p1 >> pluck([0,0,0], dur=1.743)

p1 >> pluck([0,0,0], dur=[0.25,0.5,0.75])

p1 >> pluck([0,0,0], dur=[1/4,1/2,3/4])

p1 >> pluck([0,0,0], dur=[1/4,0.25,3])
