An alternative to SuperCollider's built-in (and partly broken) Ndef.gui method.

Usage is very simple. Instead of calling gui on a nodeproxy object you simply call gui2:

(
Ndef(\abc, {|freq=100, amp=0.5, pan=0| 
	Pan2.ar(SinOsc.ar(freq), pos: pan, level: amp)
});
)

g = Ndef(\abc).gui2;
g.close;

// dont randomize/vary ignored parameters
NodeProxyGui2.defaultIgnoreParams_([\amp, "freq*", "*[fF]eedback\\b"])  // wildcard (regex) args

(
f = 9;
Ndef('ignore', {
    var a = [\a.kr(0.5), \aa.kr(1/3)];
    var t1 = \a_thing.kr(100), s2 = \a_nother_thing_y.kr(200);
    var freqs = f.collect{|n|n=n+1;("freq"++(n)).asSymbol.kr(100*n)};
    Splay.ar(SinOscFB.ar(freqs, \sinFeedback.kr(1/5), mul:'amp'.kr(0.1)));
});
f.do{|n|
    n=n+1;
    Spec.add(("freq"++(n)).asSymbol.postln, ControlSpec( 100.0, 14000.0, \exp, 0, 50, "Hz") );
};
g = Ndef('ignore').gui2;
g.ignoreParams = ["a", "*thing.*"]; // note .*
)

g.randomize;
g.vary;

The reason for this package's existence is to experiment with fixing some issues that are currently in the built in NodeProxy GUI for SuperCollider. These aren't all fixed, but include:

• User scaleable layout – have GUI elements resize with window size.
• Readable text and values – the font size should be readable on modern screens, and labels should not overflow
• Add small extra features like allowing parameters to be randomized
• Use sensible defaults for parameter Specs – if no Spec is defined with the NodeProxy, it should fall back to [0.0, 1.0, \lin].asSpec and not some random guess. Also, use a search hierarchy: Look in the NodeProxies specs, then in the global ControlSpec.specs and if both those fails, fall back to a default.
• A neutral look and feel. It shouldn't try to be clever with colors, unless necessary.
