Could this be a typo or am I missing something?

Copy/pasted from the Expressions Library.
---->
"Time index (random)
Use this in the TimeIndex field (of a SampleCloud or SumOfSines for example) to run backwards and forwards at random rates through the file. !Rate controls how often a new random rate is selected."

5 s random smooth: 5 s

<----

Maybe it should have been this one?
!Rate s random smooth: !Rate s

I like the more flexible...
(!StillTime +!SlidingTime) s random smooth: !SlidingTime s


Regards

Correct, the comment and the expression do not agree, and your rewriting of the expression brings them into agreement. Your variation is a nice one too!

(If you go to the Help menu in Kyma and select Update Sound library, it will automatically update the expressions library with the corrected version)

Carla, could you please check this?

In my controlfunctions.txt this reads as...

Name: Time index triggered by !KeyDown

Expression: Sinusoidal controller w/ random modulation

instead of as ..

Expression: (!KeyDown fullRamp: 'celthrpGliss s512'
sampleFileDuration s)

Thanks!

On our copy it reads:

Expression: !KeyDown fullRamp: 'frase' sampleFileDuration s

Please try the update Sound library from the Help menu and let us know if that puts us in sync.

Thanks!

Thank you very much.

I suspected this.

I have been working with a text editor for the new mindmaps and maybe I did an unintentional copy/paste. I tried to sync but I guess that didn't work.

Luckily, after your message I have used the "versions" feature in Lion and recovered the synced original one from this morning. Everything looks/works as expected now.

I am learning a lot by studying the expressions library and it feels very good to know that Symbolic Sound has this great support when I hit my head with a wall !

Sorry for the trouble. Thanks again.

I double-checked this time

Could there be a mistake here because of no !Skip HotVariable defined in the expression as stated in the Comment?

Best Regards,

Type: Expression
Name: Pattern generator
Comment:
Use in a Frequency field to create somewhat
unpredictable patterns of pitches. !IMPORTANT:
In the VCS, set !Length, !Offset, and !Skip to
the range (0,12) and set the grid to 1.
Expression:
((((((1 bpm: (!BPM * (1 - !Pause)))
countTriggersMod: ((((1 bpm: (!BPM / !Length))
countTriggersMod: !Length reverse: !Sw01) +
!Offset) of: #(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11))
reverse: !Sw01) + !Offset) * ((((1 bpm: (!BPM /
!Length)) countTriggersMod: !Length reverse:
!Sw01) + !Offset) of: #(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11))) mod: !Length) of: #(60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67
68 69 70 71)) nn
