I can play chords with Sonic Pi synths:
use_synth :dsaw
play 60
play(note: chord(:c3, :major))
No problem. When I write my own ones though they play single notes fine, then they crash when I play chords:
use_synth(:mysecondsynth)
play 60
play(note: chord(:c3, :major))
The error is:
Thread death!
Unable to normalise argument with key note: and value (ring <SonicPi::Chord...
So I am learning SuperCollider and figure this must be my problem and look at passing arrays as parameters and stuff. Nothing I try works. Then I read the source code to SuperCollider synths in github and they all seem to be single note synths.
I took the source of sonic-pi-rodeo renamed it an ran it and it did indeed fail with the same error on a chord.
Is there an example of how to write a SuperCollider synth that accepts chords as well as notes for me to look at?
