partikkelsync — Outputs partikkel's grain scheduler clock pulse and phase to synchronize several instances of the partikkel opcode to the same clock source.
partikkelsync is an opcode for outputting partikkel's grain scheduler clock pulse and phase. partikkelsync's output can be used to synchronize other instances of the partikkel opcode to the same clock.
iopcode_id -- the opcode id, linking an instance of partikkel to an instance of partikkelsync.
async -- trigger pulse signal. Outputs trigger pulses synchronized to a partikkel opcode's grain scheduler clock. One trigger pulse is generated for each grain started in the partikkel opcode with the same opcode_id. The normal usage would be to send this signal to another partikkel opcode's async input to synchronize several instances of partikkel.
aphase -- clock phase. Outputs a linear ramping phase signal. Can be used e.g. for softsynchronization, or just as a phase generator ala phasor.
Here is an example of the partikkelsync opcodes. It uses the file partikkelsync.csd.
Example 735. Example with soft sync of two partikkel generators.
