# Gamepad

The Gamepad module allows you to integrate gamepad input functionality into your musical patterns. This can be particularly useful for live performances or interactive installations where you want to manipulate sounds using a game controller.

## Getting Started

Initialize a gamepad by calling the gamepad() function with an optional index parameter.

<MiniRepl

  client:idle

  tune={`// Initialize gamepad (optional index parameter, defaults to 0)

const gp = gamepad(0)

note("c a f e").mask(gp.a)`}

/>

## Available Controls

The gamepad module provides access to buttons and analog sticks as normalized signals (0-1) that can modulate your patterns.

### Buttons

| Type             | Controls                                                                                       |

| --------------- | --------------------------------------- |

| Button Sequence | `btnSequence()`, `btnSeq()`, `btnseq()` |

## Using Gamepad Inputs

Once initialized, you can use various gamepad inputs in your patterns. Here are some examples:

### Button Inputs

You can use button inputs to control different aspects of your music, such as gain or triggering events.

<MiniRepl

  client:idle

  tune={`const gp = gamepad(0)

setcpm(120) 

// Use button values to control amplitude

$: stack(

  s("[[hh hh] oh hh oh]/2").mask(gp.tglX).bank("RolandTR909"), // X btn for HH

   s("cr*1").mask(gp.Y).bank("RolandTR909"), // LB btn for CR

  s("bd").mask(gp.tglA).bank("RolandTR909"), // A btn for BD

  s("[ht - - mt - - lt - ]/2").mask(gp.tglB).bank("RolandTR909"), // B btn for Toms

  s("sd*4").mask(gp.RB).bank("RolandTR909"), // RB btn for SD

)

`}

/>

### Analog Stick Inputs

Analog sticks can be used for continuous control, such as pitch shifting or panning.

<MiniRepl

  client:idle

  tune={`const gp = gamepad(0)

setcpm(120)

// Use analog stick for continuous control

$: note("c4 d3 a3 e3").sound("sawtooth") 

  .lpf(gp.x1.range(100,4000)) 

  .lpq(gp.y1.range(5,30))

  .decay(gp.y2.range(0.1,2))

  .lpenv(gp.x2.range(-5,5))`}

/>

### Button Sequences

You can define button sequences to trigger specific actions, like playing a sound when a sequence is detected.

<MiniRepl client:idle tune={`const gp = gamepad(0)

setcpm(120)

// Define button sequences

const HADOUKEN = [

  'd',               // Down

  'r',               // Right

  'a',               // A

]

const KONAMI = 'uuddlrlrba' //Konami Code ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA

// Check butto-n sequence (returns 1 while detected, 0 when not within last 1 second)

$: s("free_hadouken -").slow(2)

.mask(gp.btnSequence(HADOUKEN)).room(1)

// hadouken.wav by Syna-Max

samples({free_hadouken: 'https://cdn.freesound.org/previews/67/67674_111920-lq.mp3'})

## Multiple Gamepads

Strudel supports multiple gamepads. You can specify the gamepad index to connect to different devices.

<MiniRepl

  client:idle

  tune={`const pad1 = gamepad(0);  // First gamepad

const pad2 = gamepad(1);  // Second gamepad`}

/>
