[RFC] Functional composition: chain

[vitreo12]

It'd be great if there was some way of connecting Omni code together with functional syntax, a la Faust

[vitreo12]

Perhaps, just as a way to chain things together:

Oscillators.omni:

process Sine:
    ins 1
    outs 1

    init:
        phase = 0

    sample:
        freq_incr = in1 / samplerate
        out1 = sin(phase * twopi)
        phase = (phase + freq_incr) % 1

process Saw:
    ins 1
    outs 1

    init:
        phase = 0

    sample:
        ...

require "Oscillators.omni"

ins 1
outs 1

chain:
    in1 + (abs(Sine(1)) * 100) -> Sine | Saw(in2)

A Sine with range 0 - 100 controls frequency of another Sine, plus in1. A parallel Saw is played out too.

Can chain support defs?

[vitreo12]

What about like variable assignments?

chain:
    sine = Sine
    [in1, in1 * 2] -> sine -> tanh

Gonna generate 2 distorted sine waves. Multichannel expansion in SC style?

[vitreo12]

How would it operate with outs ???

[vitreo12]

Feeback??

chain:
    [in1 -> Sine] <<
