Module: MTK::Lang::Intensities

Extended by:

PseudoConstants

Defined in:

lib/mtk/lang/intensities.rb

Overview

Note:

Including this module shadows Ruby’s built-in p() method. If you include this module, you can access the built-in p() method via Kernel.p() Also be aware you might shadow existing variable names, like f.

Defines intensity constants using standard dynamic symbols.

These can be thought of like constants, but in order to support the lower case names, it was necessary to define them as “pseudo constant” methods. Like constants, these methods are available either through the module (MTK::Lang::Intensities::f) or via mixin (include MTK::Lang::Intensities; f). They are listed under the “Instance Attribute Summary” of this page.

These values are intensities in the range 0.125 - 1.0 (in increments of 1/8), so they can be easily scaled (unlike MIDI velocities).
