LFO waveshape change kills audio...

Ok, this is probably a system specific driver problem (asio4all on a laptop) but i thought it was a little ... quirky...

trem.osm

this is a stripped down example to illustrate the problem; when I use the asio driver, the audio dies if i change the shape of the lfo. Selecting a different driver then the asio one again restores the audio...

Works fine using the directsound driver.

Does anyone else experience this behaviour?

just me then ...🙂

Yeah, me too...

BTW-it's pretty hard to hear the impact of the LFO on this sound as it's duration is pretty short and the stock LFO is limited to 2hz max.

You can change the max Hz value in the Freq to Hz module. It's the float with 2 in it. Put whatever max Hz you want in that field instead. (Should really be a property in the stock module!)

ah, interesting...

one for the devs i think as i've no idea at all why this should happen.

thanks for looking oddson, this was very much a thrown together demo; i left the chord.wav sample in there as i thought everybody should have it, not ideal i know. And i've plans for the lfo, don't you worry. 😉

I remember a while back when I made a simple synth with SM - when I changed filter type or LFO waveform SM would sometimes produce a 'click' then go silent and I'd have to restart it to get the sound working again - like it caused some sort of problem with the ASIO drivers. Maybe there is some problem with using the selectors/multiplexers with stream data!?

Hmmmm,

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
