mc.generate~
Generate Values for a Range of Channels
Description
The mc.generate~ object allows signal-rate updating of MC Wrapper features such as deviate , spread , and harmonic as a trigger signal or parameter inputs change. One wrapper message is assigned as an operator.
Arguments
initial-parameter-1[float]
optional
Initial value for parameter 1
initial-parameter-2[float]
optional
Initial value for parameter 2
initial-parameter-3[float]
optional
Initial value for parameter 3
Attributes
chans[int]
The chans attribute sets the number of channels in the output multi-channel signal. If the chans attribute is changed while the audio is on, the number of channels will change when the audio is restarted.
op[symbol]
Use op to select the operator used to generate values. Possible values are deviate , increment , spread , spreadinclusive , spreadexclusive , spreadincludesecond , spreadincludefirst , harmonic , subharmonic , exponential , scaledexponential , and decide . For information on these operators, see the MC Wrapper Messages guide.
Possible values:
'decide'
'deviate'
'ease.in_back'
'ease.in_bounce'
'ease.in_circular'
'ease.in_cubic'
'ease.in_elastic'
'ease.in_exponential'

'ease.in_out_quadratic'
'ease.in_out_quartic'
'ease.in_out_quintic'
'ease.in_out_sine'
'ease.in_quadratic'
'ease.in_quartic'
'ease.in_quintic'
'ease.in_sine'
'ease.linear'

'spreadincludesecond'
'spreadinclusive'
'subharmonic'
p1[float]
Sets the value of the first operator parameter
p2[float]
Sets the value of the second operator parameter
p3[float]
Sets the value of the third operator parameter
ramptime[float]
If the ramptime attribute is zero, the values of new operator calculations are output immediately and will be discontinuous with previous values. A non-zero ramptime specifies the number of milliseconds for the output signals to ramp to the newly calculated values. The new values are effectively delayed by the ramp time.
Common Box Attributes
annotation[symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in the Clue window when the user moves the mouse over the object.
background[int]: 0
Adds or removes the object from the patcher's background layer. background 1 adds the object to the background layer, background 0 removes it. Objects in the background layer are shown behind all objects in the default foreground layer.
color[4 floats]
Sets the color for the object box outline.
fontface[int]
Sets the type style used by the object. The options are:
plain
bold
italic
bold italic
Possible values:
0 = 'regular'
1 = 'bold'
2 = 'italic'
3 = 'bold italic'
fontname[symbol]
Sets the object's font.
fontsize[float]
Sets the object's font size (in points).
Possible values:
'8'
'9'
'10'
'11'
'12'
'13'
'14'
'16'
'18'
'20'
'24'
'30'
'36'
'48'
'64'
'72'
hint[symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in as a pop-up hint when the user moves the mouse over the object in a locked patcher.
ignoreclick[int]: 0
Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.
jspainterfile[symbol]
You can override the default appearance of a user interface object by assigning a JavaScript file with code for painting the object. The file must be in the search path.
patching_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 100. 0.
Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.
position[2 floats]
write-only
Sets the object's x and y position in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its size unchanged.
presentation[int]: 0
Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.
presentation_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 0. 0.
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in the patcher's presentation, leaving its patching position unchanged.
rect[4 floats]
write-only
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation).
size[2 floats]
write-only
Sets the object's width and height in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its position unchanged.
textcolor[4 floats]
Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.
textjustification[int]
Sets the justification for the object's text.
Possible values:
0 = 'left'
1 = 'center'
2 = 'right'
varname[symbol]
Sets the patcher's scripting name, which can be used to address the object by name in pattr, scripting messages to thispatcher, and the js object.
Messages
int
Converted to float
float
A number in the second inlet sets value of the first parameter. A number in the third inlet sets the value of the second parameter. A number in the right inlet sets the third parameter.
signal
A signal in the left inlet triggers a calculation of the current operator. Signals in the other three inlets set parameter values.
