quantise limits values in a Pattern (or other Functor) to
n equally spaced divisions of 1.
It is useful for rounding a collection of numbers to some particular
base fraction. For example,
quantise 5 [0, 1.3 ,2.6,3.2,4.7,5]
It will round all the values to the nearest
(1/5)=0.2 and
thus will output the list
[0.0,1.2,2.6,3.2,4.8,5.0]. You can
use this function to force a continuous pattern like sine into
specific values. In the following example:
d1 $ s "superchip*8" # n (quantise 1 $ range (-10) (10) $ slow 8 $ cosine)
# release (quantise 5 $ slow 8 $ sine + 0.1)
all the releases selected be rounded to the nearest
0.1 and
the notes selected to the nearest
1.
quantise with fractional inputs does the consistent thing:
quantise 0.5 rounds values to the nearest
2,
quantise 0.25 rounds the nearest
4, etc.
