Why does my project not work?

Hey Pady, welcome. I think you misunderstand what the PolyToMono's S out is for; it's the ASM code used to make the sound:

Hey Pady, welcome to the forum!

If you're wanting a switch that will run at sample rate try the following, just copy and paste into a 'code' module:

streamin select; streamin in0; streamin in1;

streamout out;

out = (select<=0)&in0+(select>0)&in1;

Now use this module to replace the poly to mono, ascii and select modules.

The '&' acts as a mask, so if select is equal to or less than zero in0 will be selected, if greater in1 selected..

Hope this help

Cheers

Sam

Hi Pädy, welcome to the forum 🙂

Uh yeah, almost forgot, welcome to the forums 🙂

Hey guys - thanks for the warm welcome!

I definitely did. Actually, I still don't get it 😊 What's ASM code?

@sambean: Thank you very much for sharing the code. I used it - I wanted the louder signal to be put an envelope around it though, so I exchanged the in0 and in1. Btw, isn't there a decent method using the built-in modules for the kind of path selector I'm after? Do I really have to code such a relatively ordinary thing?

Anyway. Here's the up-to-date version:

Transient Former 2

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work as expected. The Transient Attack shaper seems to work more or less ok - I wonder though, why the Release poti and the second Attack poti show a middle value and display the difference from there. I don't know how else to describe it. Those two potis do not show an increasing value like the rest of the potis. The Transient Release shaper (lower) does not work at all - and I have not the slightes clue why. Just lower the Attack level to zero and upper the Relase level to max and you still hear almost nothing. Plus the Attack and Release long and short potis do not act as expected. Can anybody give me some further hints?

And I'd still like to know how I can play back a wave file from within SynthMaker in order to test what I'm building.

Thanks in advance.

I'd still like to know how I can play back a wave file from within SynthMaker in order to test what I'm building.

There's are two 'Wave File' components. One has just a string input for a wave path and two mono outputs and will loop wave file over and over.

I just recently found it and couldn't think what use it has. Tom7777 (aka Dan) pointed out it's perfect for what you want to do.

I cleaned up Pädys Schematic, and so I found some wrong connections. Here is the updated OSM: http://www.music-drive.com/Transient_Former3.osm

And I think it looks much easier now 🙂

Pädy · 26 Feb 2006

@oddson: Thanks a lot. I couldn't find those because I did not have the R&D modules activated - important to note.

@MyCo: It certainly looks much better now and mainly, it works now. Congrats and thank you very much. Could you please elaborate a little on what you fixed. Pretty please.

Cheers, Pädy

There was a Stream-Multiplication, where both Links are on one input, and the other input was empty, so SM calculated y=(a+b)*0 instead of y=a*b

That was the main problem. The same was on a Stream addition Module, but that's no problem. because (a+b)+0 = a+b

Pädy · 27 Feb 2006

Ok, thanks MyCo, I see what you mean.

I noticed you deleted the 'stream addition' before the final Volume control also. Would this have caused problems?

Cheers, Pädy

ASseMbly code, you know, the lowest level of language above 101011110101011? There is also the Assembler primitive you can use instead of Code.

No, I deleted it, because it wasn't necessary.
