[chuck-users] Bulk handling of multiple instances

[Spencer Salazar]

Hi Karl,
Probably the best way to go would be to allocate an array of Blits  
and Pans, and then loop over them to chuck them to each other and the  
Gain.  For example:

Gain g => dac;

20 => int num_blits;
Blit blits[num_blits];
Pan2 pans[num_blits];

for( 0 => int i; i < num_blits; i++ )
{
     blits[i] => pans[i] => g;
     0.0001 => blits[i].freq;
     1 => blits[i].harmonics;
}

Does this achieve something close to your desired result?

For better or for worse, ChucK lacks a lot of the dynamism of  
languages like Python or Perl, including features like dynamic symbol  
evaluation.  However its typically possible to achieve similar tasks  
using the structures that are available (thank you Turing  
completeness!).
