Here is a pretty cheap way to do that: ( { var unpauseWhich, numFuncs = 50, funcs, pausePlugs, onIndex = 0, nextIndex; unpauseWhich = MouseX.kr(0, numFuncs - 0.001); // lagTime has to be low for fast pausing. // E.g. for lagTime = 0.1, time before pause is ca. 0.5. pausePlugs = Array.fill(numFuncs, { Plug.kr(0, 0.01) }); pausePlugs.at(onIndex).source_(1); // monitor which func should be on: // if it is a new one, pause old, unpause new. thisSynth.repeat(0.03, 0.03, { nextIndex = unpauseWhich.poll.asInteger; if (nextIndex != onIndex, { // ("new index:" + nextIndex).postcln; pausePlugs.at(onIndex).source_(0); onIndex = nextIndex; pausePlugs.at(onIndex).source_(1); } ); } ); Mix.ar( pausePlugs.collect({ arg pausePlug, i; Pause.ar( // silly rand waveforms, freq left to right. { [ Blip, Saw, Pulse, FSinOsc ].choose.ar(200 + (50 * i), mul: 0.1) }, pausePlug ); }) ); }.play; ) This only creates one Pause.ar and one Plug.kr for each func, so I can't think of anything cheaper (around 6-7% on a PB G3/400). // A variation for the switching task: uses .line to crossfade. // uses updateTime both for scheduling // and plug.line to make sure line can always finish. ... var updateTime = 0.03; ... thisSynth.repeat(updateTime, updateTime, { nextIndex = unpauseWhich.poll.asInteger; if (nextIndex != onIndex, { // ("new index:" + nextIndex).postcln; pausePlugs.at(onIndex).line(0, updateTime); onIndex = nextIndex; pausePlugs.at(onIndex).line(1, updateTime); } ); } ); Of course you can also use onIndex to look up maps of which plugs to turn on/off for a given index.

I think if they talked to apple they would know the problem. 1. overloading the sound inputs on a powerbook can kick in some software that slows the machine to a crawl. I only vaguely remember this problem so could me getting it wrong, but overloading a mic input on a powerbook is not good for performance in ways you would not expect. Apple may have done something to fix this since I originally talked to them about it. 2. They are using MP threads to do their audio, which on powerbooks gets interrupted long enough by the power management to glitch the audio. They have to stay at interrupt level to prevent the power mgmt software to gain access.. - --- james mccartney james@audiosynth.com SuperCollider - a real time synthesis programming language for the PowerMac. ------------------------------ End of sc-users-digest V1 #280 ******************************
