Pfinval limit number of items embedded in a stream

superclass: Pfin

Pfinval(count, pattern)

embeds count elements of the pattern into the stream

Note: Pfinval is not appropriate for wrapping Pmono, Pfx etc. For these types of event patterns, you should use Pfin

(

var a, b;

a = Pfinval(5, Pseq(#[1, 2, 3],inf));

b = a.asStream;

9.do({ b.next.postln; });

)

Pfinval used as a sequence of pitches

(

SynthDef(\help_sinegrain,

{ arg out=0, freq=440, sustain=0.05;

var env;

env = EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.01, sustain, 0.2), doneAction:2);

Out.ar(out, SinOsc.ar(freq, 0, env))

}).add;

)

(

var c, b;

c = Pn(Pfinval({ rrand(3, 5)}, Pseq([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],inf)*4+65),inf);

b = c.asStream;

Routine({

loop({

Synth(\help_sinegrain, [\freq, b.next.midicps]);

0.12.wait;

})

}).play;

)
