pygen

Sends messages to and receives messages from Python generators in time increments.

Arguments: < time-increment-type > < generator-name >

< time-increment-type > (non-optional)
Must be “beats” or “ms.” “beats” lets you control the tempo; “ms” is for fixed-time events.

< generator-name > (non-optional)
The name of Python generator added to Pymax with pymax.add_generator

Inlets:

• Left: 1 starts, 0 stops the generator
• Middle: for messages. Currently, “reset” is the only message.
• Right: Int or float changes the tempo (bpm) if in “beats” mode

Outlet:

All the elements of the list yielded by the Python generator function this calls, except the first element of the list. This element, the one that’s removed, is the ontime: the output occurs when this ontime is hit.

Messages:

• reset (no arguments)
  In middle inlet: resets the generator to its original state (technically, replaces the old instance of the generator with a newly constructed one).

See playing_events for examples of using this object.
