Composing Rhythm, Part 1
231In this demonstration, we'll use our kick drum synth to build a rhythmic sequence, using Pbind and Pbindef. These classes are inherited from the main class Pattern. We will also explore three subclasses: Pseq, Prand, and Pwhite.
Pattern is an incredibly flexible tool to use in SuperCollider. You can use it for tones, audio files, and MIDI instruments.
As mentioned in my last video, this kick synth is a sequence of tones passing though an envelope. While its output may sound like a kick drum, it does not behave like an acoustic instrument, in that there is no natural decay or release. Envelope values must be used at the discretion of the composer.
