Thanx Andy. I was worried that this would be the case; getting too used to Javascript where anything is possible. Will the casting work for any UGen type? I.e. since most (all) UGens support mix, then can I just pretend that everything in the array is one type (say Chorus for instance) and then use that type's mix?
Yes. If all of the UGens that you use there support .mix() you can cast to any one type of UGen that has .mix() and use it. The one downside to this is that you are removing the safety that the parser gives in type-checking so if somehow some UGen that lacks .mix() ends up in your array you'll crash the VM. With STKInstrument and it's sub-classes this works quite well, with members like .noteOn() being shared so there it's quite safe if done properly. Sadly we lack a "Effect" class that all effects like Churus could extend and that would provide extra safety and convenience in your case. Hope that helps, Kas.
