follow()

[joesh1]

I'm not sure what the rules (and syntax maybe) for using follow() are, but I don't seem to have much luck getting results. Secondly, I'm also curious to know if it can be used to make a bass line, or other instrument, follow() a drum beat, and if so how? I tried various syntax, but nothing seemed to work.

Thanks in advance.

Follow is pretty much deprecated and replaced by player keys. Given a FoxDot player, p1, The following lines are equivalent:

p2 >> pluck().follow(p1)
p2 >> pluck(p1.pitch)

What do you mean by "follow a drum beat"? You can use the player key map method to map characters to pitches like so:

d1 >> play("(x-)(-x)o{-xo}")
b1 >> sawbass(d1.char.map({"x" : 0, "-": 1, "o" : 3}), dur=1/2)

Is that kind of what you had in mind?

Okay, that looks interesting, I'll try all that out and see how it works. Big thanks.

BTW, I'll come back and close the thread if it's solved.
