Tutorial on creating a custom PyoObject.

There are few steps we need to take care of in order to create a class with all 
of the PyoObject behaviors.

Things to consider:

- The parent class must be PyoObject, that means the PyoObject's __init__ method
    must be called inside the object's __init__ method to properly initialize 
    PyoObject's basic attributes.
- When a PyoObject receives another PyoObject, it looks for a list of objects 
    called "self._base_objs". This list must contain the C implementation of 
    the audio objects generating the output sound of the process. 
- Adding "mul" and "add" arguments (they act on objects in self._base_objs).
- All PyoObjects support "list expansion".
- All PyoObjects with sound in input support cross-fading between old and new sources.
- We will probably want to override the play(), out() and stop() methods.
- There is an attribute for any function that modify a parameter.
- We should override the ctrl() method to allow a GUI to control parameters.

In this tutorial, we will define a RingMod object with this definition:

RingMod(input, freq=100, mul=1, add=0)

"""
from pyo import *

# Step 1 - Declaring the class

# We will create a new class called RingMod with PyoObject as its parent class. 
# Another good habit is to put a __doc__ string at the beginning of our classes. 
# Doing so will allow other users to retrieve the object's documentation with the 
# standard python help() function.

class RingMod(PyoObject):
    """
    Ring modulator.

    Ring modulation is a signal-processing effect in electronics 
    performed by multiplying two signals, where one is typically 
    a sine-wave or another simple waveform.

    :Parent: :py:class:`PyoObject`

    :Args:

        input : PyoObject
            Input signal to process.
        freq : float or PyoObject, optional
            Frequency, in cycles per second, of the modulator. 
            Defaults to 100.

    >>> s.start()
    >>> src = SfPlayer(SNDS_PATH+"/transparent.aif", loop=True, mul=.3)

    >>> ring = RingMod(src, freq=[800,1000], mul=lfo).out()

    """

# Step 2 - The __init__ method

# This is the place where we have to take care of some of pyo's generic behaviours. 
# The most important thing to remember is that when a PyoObject receives another 
# PyoObject in input, it looks for an attribute called self._base_objs. This attribute 
# is a list of the object's base classes and is considered the audio output signal 
# of the object (the Sine object uses internally an object called Sine_base). The 
# getBaseObjects() method returns the list of base classes for a given PyoObject. We 
# will call the getBaseObjects() method on the objects generating the output signal of 
# our process. .play(), .out(), .stop() and .mix() methods act on this list.

# We also need to add two arguments to the definition of the object: "mul" and "add". 
# The attributes "self._mul" and "self._add" are handled by the parent class and are 
# automatically applied to the objects stored in the list "self._base_objs".

# Finally, we have to consider the "multi-channel expansion" feature, allowing lists given as 
# arguments to create multiple instances of our object and managing multiple audio streams. 
# Two functions help us to accomplish this:

# convertArgsToLists(*args) : Return arguments converted to lists and the maximum list size.
# wrap(list,i) : Return value at position "i" in "list" with wrap around len(list).

    def __init__(self, input, freq=100, mul=1, add=0):
        # Properly initialize PyoObject's basic attributes
        PyoObject.__init__(self, mul, add)

        # Keep references of all raw arguments
        self._input = input
        self._freq = freq

        # Using InputFader to manage input sound allows cross-fade when changing sources
        self._in_fader = InputFader(input)

        # Convert all arguments to lists for "multi-channel expansion"
        in_fader, freq, mul, add, lmax = convertArgsToLists(self._in_fader, freq, mul, add)

        # Apply processing
        self._mod = Sine(freq=freq, mul=in_fader)

        # Use a Sig object as a through to prevent modifying the "mul" attribute of self._mod
        self._ring = Sig(self._mod, mul=mul, add=add)

        # self._base_objs is the audio output seen by the outside world!
        self._base_objs = self._ring.getBaseObjects()

# Step 3 - setXXX methods and attributes

# Now, we will add methods and attributes getter and setter for all controllable 
# parameters. It should be noted that we use the setInput() method of the 
# InputFader object to change an input source. This object implements a cross-fade 
# between the old source and the new one with a cross-fade duration argument.
# Here, we need to keep references of raw argument in order to get the
# real current state when we call the dump() method.

# Step 4 - The ctrl() method

# The ctrl() method of a PyoObject is used to pop-up a GUI to control the parameters 
# of the object. The initialization of sliders is done with a list of SLMap objects 
# where we can set the range of the slider, the type of scaling, the name of the 
# attribute linked to the slider and the initial value. We will define a default 
# "self._map_list" that will be used if the user doesn't provide one to the parameter
# "map_list". If the object doesn't have any parameter to control with a GUI, this
# method can be undefined.

        self._map_list = [SLMap(10, 2000, "log", "freq", self._freq),

        PyoObject.ctrl(self, map_list, title, wxnoserver)

# Step 5 - Overriding the .play(), .stop() and .out() methods

# Finally, we might want to override .play(), .stop() and .out() methods to be sure all 
# our internal PyoObjects are consequently managed instead of only objects in self._base_obj, 
# as it is in built-in objects. To handle properly the process for self._base_objs, we still 
# need to call the method that belongs to PyoObject. We return the returned value (self) of 
# these methods in order to possibly append the method to the object's creation. See the 
# definition of these methods in the PyoObject man page to understand the meaning of arguments.
