loop / repeat

create an object that behaves like a stream that returns values for a limited (or infinite) number of times.

Function-loop

repeats the function forever.

f = { 3.yield };

x = Routine({ f.loop });

10.do({ x.next.postln })

Object-repeat(n)

repeat to yield the object

x = 5;

y = x.repeat(6);

y.nextN(8);

Pattern-repeat(n)

x = Prand([1, 2]).repeat(6).asStream;

x.nextN(8);

Pattern-loop

x = Prand([1, 2]).loop.asStream;

x.nextN(8);

Stream-repeat(n)

embeds the stream repeatedly

x = Routine({ 3.do({ arg i; i.yield }) }).repeat(6);

x.nextN(8);

Stream-loop

embeds the stream repeatedly

x = Routine({ 3.do({ arg i; i.yield }) }).loop;

x.nextN(8);
