ANy reason why ceratin exampels give an error
(
{
var carrier, rate, trigger, modRatio, index, control, env;
rate= 3;
trigger=Impulse.kr(rate);
control+LFNoise0.kr(rate);
carrier= 62;
modRatio=4.125;
index=10;
carrier=carrier.midicps;
carrier.poll(trigger, "carrier");
index.poll(trigger, "index");
modRatio.poll(trigger, "modRatio");
PMOsc.ar(carrier, carrier*modRatio, index)
}.play
)The error message exactly shows the reason:
ERROR: Message ‘+’ not understood.
RECEIVER:
nil
ARGS:
Instance of LFNoise0 { (0x11b28f978, gc=6C, fmt=00, flg=00, set=03)
instance variables [8]
synthDef : instance of SynthDef (0x11de65878, size=16, set=4)
inputs : instance of Array (0x123657bf8, size=1, set=2)
rate : Symbol ‘control’
synthIndex : Integer 2
specialIndex : Integer 0
antecedents : nil
descendants : nil
widthFirstAntecedents : nil
}
Error messages are often cryptic, but here it points to the source immediately: control equals zero, because it hasn’t been assigned something meaningful.
This is a typo. control = something and control + something naturally don’t mean the same thing and aren’t interchangeable.
The original example is fine.
