List/control stream players with no handle

[micromoog]

Is there any way to get a list of all EventStreamPlayers that are currently running, and/or control those players, without having a handle on them?  For example, if I run this code:

 

Pbind(
 \degree, Pseq([0, 2, 4], inf)
).play;

 

I now have an EventStreamPlayer running with no handle, so I don't know how to send it the .stop message.  Can this be done, or can I at least see if any are playing (to check for leaks)?

 

 

Thanks,

micromoog

no, there is no repository, simply because you may be creating many
at a time for a short time. Pdef has a gui that can be used for this
(PdefAllGui)

micromoog,

Still in the initial stages of learning the pattern system (and trying to bring some of my favorite livecoding gestures to sc) and this was something that I felt missing.

the current compromise:

l=List()
l.add( Pbind(\degree, 1).play )

having to enclose the final play is kind of annoying, I was also thinking about this, which returns an Array, I think

l=l++Pbind(\degree,1).play

and the processing commands

l[0].pause
l.pop.stop
l.removeAt(0).stop
l.do { |x| if ( 2.rand==0 ) x.stop }

etc.

It should be easy to extend Pattern to make an alternate 'play' message that adds the reference to a class variable collection.

but I think

l add: Pbind(\degree,1).play

is the best
