latch2
latch2 records and plays back automation parameters. It records any
parameter of any instrument that consists of only one number. More
complex parameters are not supported.
Unlike latch3, the timing is not bound to the master clock. Changing
master tempo or switching master on and off doesn't influence automation
playback of latch2. Playback is running freely. This can be fun
sometimes, but it breaks netpd's goal of delivering the exact same result
on each client. If you mind that, use latch3.
Usage
Recording
Click the record button (red circle) of any free latch instance to start
recording. This instance registers the name (OSC address) of the next
single-number parameter that is touched. Once an address is registered,
other parameters are ignored. Always ignored are parameters that are not
single-number (like symbols or lists). Hit record button again to stop
recording.
Playback
Once an automation has been recorded, it can be played back by clicking
the playback button (green triangle). Playback is stopped by clicking
the playback button again.
