Saving output to file about cl-patterns HOT 2 CLOSED

from cl-patterns.

Sorry for the delay in responding, I wanted to make sure everything was actually working first and it turned out things weren't.

I've fixed most of the issues now, so ensure you're using a local copy of cl-patterns updated to the latest commit on master, and then you can render a pattern with render like so:

(render (pdef :beat) "/path/to/output.wav" :duration 4) ; render 4 seconds of audio

(render (pdef :beat) "/path/to/output.wav" :dur 4) ; render 4 beats of audio

(render (pdef :beat) "/path/to/output.wav" :max-length 4) ; render the first 4 events of the pattern (note that rests are included)

Since your :beat pattern is infinite in length, you need to specify :duration, :dur, or :max-length if you want the rendered output to be a specific length.

Alternatively you can make it finite in length, and as long as it has fewer than :max-length (which defaults to *max-pattern-yield-length*) outputs, the full pattern will be rendered without needing to specify any keyword arguments.

I've tested this new implementation a bit and it seems to work, but there are probably some cases where it might still be broken. Let me know if you notice any.
