Parsing array into interpretable string for genetic algorithm

Two thoughts on this:

.) Following Brian’s question: if you want to have different data in an Array and then produce a SynthDef therewith, you might want to wrap UGens in Functions, then you can take them over. See these discussions: {}.play on a UGen stored in variable?

.) You could also use the preProcessor method for Strings (more hassle)

.) You could also poke around with the ‘interpret’ method, but this is also often a complication.

I suppose the first approach could fit your demands. Here an example how to integrate operators like ‘+’ and ‘*’:

// in your application x,y could be items of an array

x = { |a, b| BinaryOpUGen('+', a, b) };

y = { |a, b| BinaryOpUGen('*', a, b) };



u = { x.(LFTri.ar(200), LFTri.ar(163)) * 0.1 }.play  

u.release

v = { y.(LFTri.ar(200), LFTri.ar(163)) * 0.1 }.play  

v.release
