Can I use ADSR UGen to envelope parameters other than gain (e.g. pitch)?

Hello, the ADSR UGen, to me, seems to have effect only over amplitude (which is its original function, I concede). However, is there any use case where I can use ADSR to map, say, pitch instead of amplitude, in order to avoid recurring to functions and for loops?

Yes, I use the following pattern often 220.0 => float f; SinOsc osc => dac; ASDR adsr => blackhole; spork ~ updateAtSampleRate(); fun void updateAtSampleRate() { while (true) { f + adsr.last() * f => osc.freq; 1::samp => now; } } There is also this pattern, which tries to encapsulate the above (whatever you chuck into cv Gain(s) are provided as float parameter(s) to the tick method) https://github.com/heuermh/lick/blob/master/lick/module/Module.ck https://github.com/heuermh/lick/blob/master/examples/moduleExample.ck Cheers, michael On Wed, Nov 1, 2017 at 11:05 AM, Jean Menezes da Rocha < jean@menezesdarocha.info> wrote:

Hi, yap, the following is a possible solution: Step step => ADSR adsr => SinOsc oscil => dac; step.next(500); adsr.set(5::ms, 150::ms, 1, 500::ms); while(true){ adsr.keyOn(); 400::ms => now; adsr.keyOff(); 1000::ms => now; } cheers, Mario 2017-11-01 16:17 GMT+00:00 Michael Heuer :

spork ~ updateAtSampleRate();

fun void updateAtSampleRate() { while (true) { f + adsr.last() * f => osc.freq; 1::samp => now; } }

There is also this pattern, which tries to encapsulate the above (whatever you chuck into cv Gain(s) are provided as float parameter(s) to the tick method)

Great! That was exactly what I wanted (and suspected but couldn't figure out)! Thank you very much, guys! Em qua, 1 de nov de 2017 às 15:04, Mario Buoninfante < mario.buoninfante@gmail.com> escreveu:

This might be shameless plug for a few Chugins I created, but I thought it might be up your alley. I made two Chugins a while back that deal with atypical envelope types, one for power based envelopes, and one based on window functions. I enjoy using window function envelopes for sine sweeps other types of control; here are two short examples. This is the power based Chugin. PowerADSR pow => blackhole; // envelope durations pow.set(10::ms, 10::ms, 1.0, 10::ms); // curves for attack, decay, and release pow.setCurves(0.5, 2.0, 0.5); spork ~ printValue(); pow.keyOn(); 20::ms => now; pow.keyOff(); 10::ms => now; fun void printValue() { while (true) { <<< "Power ADSR Value:", pow.value() >>>; 1::ms => now; } } And here is the window function based Chugin. WinFuncEnv win => dac; // set for a Blackman window win.setBlackman(); // envelope durations win.attackTime(25::ms); win.releaseTime(25::ms); spork ~ printValue(); win.keyOn(); 25::ms => now; win.keyOff(); 25::ms => now; fun void printValue() { while (true) { <<< "Window Value:", win.windowValue() >>>; 1::ms => now; } } On Wed, Nov 1, 2017 at 10:13 AM, Jean Menezes da Rocha < jean@menezesdarocha.info> wrote:
