Hi,
You can't chuck audio signals into parameters like that. What you must do
is something like
SinOsc osc => Pan2 pan => dac;
SinOsc panMod => blackhole;
while (true)
{
panMod.last () => pan.pan;
1::samp => now;
}
Of course, you may then run your loop less frequently than every 1::samp,
which is probably advisable in many circumstances to save CPU. It seems to
me that it would be nice to be able to chuck audio signals about more
arbitrarily. I don't know if they've implemented it this way simply because
if they made it too easy people (especially beginners) would end up
overdoing it (particularly with things like filter cutoff which I understand
would trigger lots of extra computation) without thinking about it. Maybe
it would make sense to have an operator like ~=>, for example, which would
do the above automatically but still force the user to be aware that they
were doing something potentially expensive etc. Perhaps there could even be
a way of adjusting the property of such a link that governed how often the
value was updated.
On a somewhat related note, I don't know what the most elegant way of making
it happen would be, but it seems like it could be nice to have the ability
to run some UGens in a programme at different sample rates. In pd, there is
[switch~] which can cause subpatches and their children to change block size
(not relevant in chuck I understand) and up / down sample audio signals
(perhaps difficult to apply to chuck). This can save quite a bit of cpu for
LFOs etc, but I guess it may not be trivial to do something very similar in
chuck. Perhaps if rather than just having blackhole, there was something
like a Blackhole object with a sample rate parameter... again, there may be
no neat way of implementing such a thing, though.
Any more insights into this most welcome,
Peter

Hello,
I would like to chuck the output of a SinOsc into the pan parameter of a Pan2 ugen.
Seems like that should be possible but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
Thanks,
