Ndef as a fx chain: i'm stuck

@Avid_Reader

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I haven’t watched your full video, so can you spoil it for the impatient me with respect to which of the above solutions you’ve used, so I can consider packaging it as a quark maybe?

In this case don’t watch the video, I don’t show any internal code, the goal is to show how to create a complex GUI sequencer with FX with only a few lines of high level code

I used the renaming of controlNames, that’s the most easiest, quickest, cleanest solution =) Then I use Ndef(xx)[n] = \cloned_synthname where the synthdef have a In.ar and XOut.ar using the \out argument like you instructed

	cloneSynthDefWithIndexedArguments: { arg self;
		var sdc;
		var synthDef;
		var suffix = self.index;
		var synthDesc;
		synthDesc = SynthDesc(self.synthName);
		if(synthDesc.notNil) {
			synthDef = synthDesc.def;
			sdc = synthDef.deepCopy;
			sdc.name = synthDef.name.asString ++ suffix; // no eff without asString!
			sdc.allControlNames.do { arg cno;
				if(not(self.excludedArgs.includes(cno.name))) {
					cno.name = (cno.name.asString ++ suffix);
				} {
					// ("Skipped renaming" + cno.name + "in" + sdc).postln
				}
			};
			sdc // return whole sd clone to be collect-ed
		} {
			Log(\Param).debug("InsertFx.cloneSynthDefWithIndexedArguments: no synthDef: %", self.synthName);
			nil
		}
	},
