Player

For musicians, it is important to put things in time. With the functions presented here, you can call specific functions using onset values. For example, in py4pd-upic I use pd.add_to_player to play svg draws that are used to control parameters. So each svg elements trigger some specific function at a specific point in time.

Set the right configuration

To use these methods the Python Object must be configurable with playable as True. See configuration for the player object.

pd.add_to_player

• Example

  It just returns a unique string.

  import pd
  
  def add_to_player(onset, thing):
      pd.add_to_player(onset, thing)

  arg1	int	Onset in milliseconds.
  arg2	Python Object	Represents any Python entity; its output corresponds to the timestamp of onset.
