Dimension-Mapping Controller

The 'dimension-mapping controller can be created using the following Lisp syntax:

The 'dimension-mapping controller takes the following arguments:

• dimension: number of dimensions of the output controller.
• controllerN: input controller N.
• indexI: index I on input controller N.
• dimIJ: series of dimension(s) J on which controllerN[indexI] will be mapped.

This function takes a list of mapping lists lists as its final argument. The number of mapping lists lists depends on the number of output (and input) controllers.

The dimension-mapping controller accepts a list of dimension mapping lists, each of them containing an input controller (of arbitrary dimension), a dimension index on the input controller and a set of mapped output dimensions. The indexed entry of the input controller will be then assigned to each of the specified dimensions of the dimension-mapping controller.

The following is a practical example that uses the dimension-mapping controller to map the 2 channels of a stereo sound file into two separate Modalys controllers:

Or we could take the input sound file controller and swap the left and right channels:

We could also similarly use it to map two mono sound files controllers to the dimensions of a 2-dimensional controller:

An input controller can also be mapped to multiple dimensions of the output controller, such as in this example which mapsa mono sound file controller to all 4 dimensions of a 4-dimensional controller:

Naturally, this last example could have be achieved more efficiently using the spread controller, but it helps show how the dimension-mapping controller can be a versatile and handy function for mixing and matching data from different controllers.

There are no special options for this controller.
