Make something like Faust, but in Python using generators. Faust "compiles" its input source to C++ code. Gross.
Example
import itertools
sample_rate = 44100
chunk_size = 10
control_rate = sample_rate / chunk_size
step_size = 22050
step_rate = sample_rate / step_size # 2bps
def sin(freq=itertools.repeat(440), amp=itertools.repeat(500)):
samples = #chunk_size samples
controls = yield samples #params allows control-rate changes to params
sample_rate = 44100
chunk_size = 10
control_rate = sample_rate / chunk_size
step_size = 22050
step_rate = sample_rate / step_size # 2bps
def sin(freq=itertools.repeat(440), amp=itertools.repeat(500)):
samples = #chunk_size samples
controls = yield samples #params allows control-rate changes to params
sample_ratemust be evenly divisible bychunk_sizeandstep_size- All control variables (
freqandamp) are fed by generators, even when they're constant. - Controls generators may be changed by a control dict passed through generator's
send(). - We can reuse Python's standard itertools.
