hello, i am building a class that is supposed to simulate a theremin.
i implemented one slider for changing the main LFO type and it works.
the problem rises when i am trying to modify the type through some OSC data (i have a potentiometer on my arduino).
when i insert in LFO type the OSC variable it brakes, so i tried wrapping that variable inside a Sig(). this method already worked for the frequency, but in this case it didn't.
is here something that i am missing?
LFO can be modified through a slider and function but cannot accept a stream in input?

here is some super simple code to explain:
sig = Sig(0)
lf = LFO(200, type=sig)
sig.ctrl()

>>>error: (integer expected, got <class 'pyo.lib._core.Sig'>)

and here is how i recieve OSC data:
scpar = OscReceive(port=port, address= ["theremin/pitch", "theremin/brightness", "theremin/wave"])
pitch = oscpar["theremin/pitch"]
brightness = oscpar["theremin/brightness"]
wave = oscpar["theremin/wave"]
amp = 1
t = Theremin(freq=pitch, mul=amp, brightness=brightness, wavetype=wave)
mix = t.mix(2).out()
t.ctrl().

if you can show me a way out of this i would really
appreciate, thank you

The LFO type can only be set via an integer as the error message states. You can pass your OSC data through a chain of Change() -> Select() -> TrigFunc() -> function that gets the OSC stream as an int (e.g. int(wave.get()) or something like that).

Here is a sketch to start with!

def wave_changed():
    
lfo.type = int(wave.get())

oscpar = OscReceive(port=port, address= ["theremin/pitch", "theremin/brightness", "theremin/wave"])
lfo = LFO()
wave = oscpar["theremin/wave"]

tf = TrigFunc(Change(Round(wave)), wave_changed)

Excellent!

You can override the ctrl() of a PyoObject to show only the relevant sliders... See the example in this tutorial:

Ok it works well but i had to twist the code a bit since i get an error saying that wave does not have a get() method (maybe because i am running pyo 1.0.1?)
anyway the twist is:
oscpar = OscReceive(port=port, address= ["theremin/pitch", "theremin/brightness", "theremin/wave"])
pitch = oscpar["theremin/pitch"]
brightness = oscpar["theremin/brightness"]
wave = oscpar["theremin/wave"]
amp = 1#= oscpar["theremin/amp"]

t = Theremin(freq=pitch, mul=amp, brightness=brightness)
def wave_changed():
       t.waveType = int(oscpar.get("theremin/wave"))
tf = TrigFunc(Change(Round(wave)), wave_changed)

this technique works but the slider in crtl() of the theremin class does not follow OSC values and is not hided, but i think i can live with it.
thank you very much Olivier.
