LineMultiply Processor

Parameters: pfield, LineMultiply String

The LineMultiply Processor multiplies values in a user-defined pfield. This noteProcessor differs from the Multiply Processor in that the value muliplied by is variable over time. The LineMultiply String is a set of beat/value pairs that are like the breakpoints on curve. The following score:

i1 0 2 80
i1 + . 80
i1 + . 80
i1 + . 80

If processed with a LineMultiple Processor with LineMultiplyString set to "0 0 6 2" and pfield set to 4, would result in:

i1  0.0 0.5 0.0
i1  0.5 0.5 53.333336
i1  1.0 0.5 106.66667
i1  1.5 0.5 160.0

(The p2 and p3 times above are post-processing for a 2 second duration soundObject with time behavior set to scale.)

The LineMultiplyString can be interpreted to mean: start at beat 0 with value 0, and by beat 6, arrive at value 2. For each note, the LineMultiplyString will find the note's beat and compare against the LineMultiplyString to see how much should be multiplied. The user should be careful to remember that SoundObjects do not apply scaling of score until after processing with noteProcessors. Therefore, the beat values given in the LineMultiplyString were to be applied against the beat values of the original score.

Note

Line Multiplying is done over the objective duration of the Object, so the length of the Object as if Time Behavior would have been set to None.
