//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Quick example of side chaining via direct audio channels and with proxyspace // by rukano s.boot; //////////////////////////////////////// // side chain compression w/o proxyspace k = Bus.audio(s, 2); // channels for the kick x = Bus.audio(s, 2); // channels for the pad { Out.ar(k, Decay2.ar(Impulse.ar(2), 0.01, 1) * SinOsc.ar(80).dup) }.play; // shitty kick { Out.ar(x, Splay.ar(Saw.ar([60, 62, 65, 67].midicps/2)) * 0.5) }.play; // shitty pads // master out ( z.free; // so you can change parameters and reexecute it w/o adding more fx on top of each other z = { var kick = In.ar(k, 2); // get the kick signal var pads = In.ar(x, 2); // get the pads signal var thresh = 0.1; // this would be the amp threshold when the Compander should "do" something var compression = 0.1; // the reduction ratio (reduction if below 1... expansion if above 1 ! var attack = 0.01; var release = 0.1; var snd = Compander.ar(pads, kick, thresh, 1, compression, attack, release); // compressed signal with sidechain Out.ar(0, snd + kick); // add the kick to it, cause otherwise you will only have the compressed pads! }.play(addAction: \addToTail); // add to tail to work as master effect ) ///////////////////////////// // side chain with proxy space: // our favourite live coding environment: p = ProxySpace.push(s); ~pads = { Splay.ar(Saw.ar([60, 62, 65, 67].midicps/2)) * 0.5 }; // shitty pads ~kick = { Decay2.ar(Impulse.ar(2), 0.01, 1) * SinOsc.ar(80).dup }; // shitty kicks ~master.play; // node proxy for everything (as a master effect) ( ~master = { // same arguments as the other example: var thresh = 0.1; var compression = 0.1; var attack = 0.01; var release = 0.1; // here you get the signals directly from the node proxies, not over audio channels... easier to read var snd = Compander.ar(~pads.ar, ~kick.ar, thresh, 1, compression, attack, release); snd + ~kick.ar // the proxy has it's own output. Alternatively you can ~kick.play to hear the kick directly, you won't have to add it here } ) // That's it
