Hi there, i need some help to make this project work:

http://www.djmicron.org/test.rar

My goal is to trigger the adsr envelope with an incoming audio signal and modulate the audio signal with the vca.

It seems that the adsr does not work.

Thanks in advance for help.

Well yes, this won't work. The ADSR is still bound to note management internally, so if there is no real note played, it won't be requested (afaik)

If you coded your own envelope you could use it like this though. But there's no standard module / component for these things atm.

thanks skore and stefan, i don't have coding skills, do someone of synthmaker advanced users have some tip to convert audio signals to trigger ?

This could be a very useful add on (in my opinion)

Thanks

Salvatore

This is the last missing piece for SM that should be added before version 1 - IMHO... 😇 All the other bells-and-whistles we've been clamouring for could wait but this one really should be part of the basic set of tools.

erm, apart from oscillator syncing and the ability to clear a buffer, ignore everything else yes

😉

Please add your thoughts to this solution (which is very far from being perfect, but may be a start):

Any ideas?

I've not tried it due to being 'at work' but the midi to voices solution introduces 40ms of lag doesn't it? due to the current issues with the event system

t25 is 1 sec/25 = 40ms as I understand it. It should work though - I did something similar to make a polyphonic sequencer - the t25 issue made me stop though, timing wasn't tight enough. perhaps in SM2 I will continue.

BTW - loving the fonts there! I thought the 'first font in the list' bug was fixed, you seem to have it still though ?

thanks very much, i'll try it and let you know 🙂
