just a simple question...

EDIT: noticed the "VSTi" component...

but it also seems to create crashes... 🙁

hi sonicfire

Without anything connected to cutoff and resonance, your cutoff=0 and resonance=0 so your schematic wouldnt really work. Try connecting some float data components or knobs to them. Also try to make it work and listen to it before you export it.

More details about the crashes would be very helpful, if you could send us the schematic that causes the crash it would be great.

If you need more help let us know.

Hi jorge,

thanks for quick reply!

So far i doesn´t crash anymore (at least it seems so) - but in only gave me a some kind volume drop-out (scope shows max. output, a line on the bottom, kind of negative signal).

Could i add a slider directly to the Filter Module as in the Schematic above? This is somewhat confusing me - that Filter has Mono Input for Frequency and Resonance. Why not Float? 🙂

Next (dumb?) question: How can i get audio into SM? Noticed the DS Out Module. Is there any kind of DS In or something?

Thanks in advance and sorry if i miss-spelled something 😉

I made a working version of your schematic with a knob for controlling cutoff, here is how it looks:

And here is how you can test it:

Note that I'm using two polyToMono components because of a bug, after the bug is fixed one should be enough.

You can download the schematic here: [old link]

Float connectors work only when there are changes, they dont use any processing power unless a float value has changed like when you move a knob/slider for example. You can link a Float connector to a Mono connector, it gets converted to a Mono constant value ( constant while you're not moving the knob/slider ). The reason the filter uses Mono for controlling cutoff and res is because you might have it changing at sampling rate, like for example you could have an LFO with a Mono output controlling the cutoff.

There isnt yet a DS In component, but I think we'll release it very soon, it's very high priority. At the moment you can test your effects as in the example above.

Thousand thanks! 😀
