Play the bassline

The bass synth, bass line sequencer and timebase abstractions [A-timebase], [B-synth1], and [C-bassline-seq] work together in this patch to make a sound. Audio signals are sent using [throw~] and [catch~] objects, so that we can combine many synths as we go. There is link below to a soundfile of this sequence. Notice the very basic envelope produces clicks with such low frequencies.

Broadcasting variables

The patch is split up to make adding more synths easier. Floats from the timebase are sent between [s time] and [r time] objects, send and receive. Think of these as bluetooth adaptors or invisible cables for puredata signals, they exist in unique pairs, several [send] transmitters cannot share a [receive]
