hey guys Last night i was trying to figure out how to look at a lfo ,changing in realtime. i got several results but nothing seems to be what i was looking for. didn´t search the forum for matching terms because after a while i had another idea what to do with my schematic. i connected several "modulators" (step LFO, simple Mod, drawn OSC) to a wave display and the result were pretty cool waveforms. but i don´t know how to get the displayed frequency to controll anonther module, i can only connect to the out stream OR the wave display. Any help?

AFAIK it is not possible to view any signal in synthmaker in real time this would require an IFFT to convert the signal back into the time domain, synthmaker does'nt have this yet i'm afraid 🙁

Well using the analyser on an already "live" stream does not work, however, using the Mono to Graph or Poly to Graph works on live streams.

ahh yes i forgot about the poly to graph 😊 i was thinking of the frequency reponse.

@philter5i don't understand what the problem is, if you connect an lfo to the freq input of the wavedraw then it should modulate the freq, is it not doing this?

sorry i don't have time to check it now, i'm about to go to bed, got an early start, i'll have a look tommorrow though.

thx guys i will try it later.

@exonerate : don´t know how to explain it better, take a look at the OSM and you ´ll know what i mean

right i've had a little play around with this,

firstly the reason the waveform's looked like they did is because you were using the analiser set to 44100, so what you were seeing were several cycle's of the waveform, i changed the analiser for a poly to graph(the analiser cannot be used on live signals like stated before) and it now work's only it does'nt look the same this is because you are only seeing a single cycle of the waveform, you cannot change the number of sample's for the poly to graph so your stuck with that, the graph also seem's to update quite slow.

you can morph the waveform quite nicely though with the combination's of lfo's.

and just so you know the graph only update's when a note is played and only once, so if you hold a note down and change a parameter the wave change's, but if you keep the note held down and try to change another it won't, you can only change it in real time once every note.

i really like your idea though 🙂 , i've only had alittle go at this but it seem's really slow and unresponsive, not sure if you can improve this or it's down to the poly to graph primative being slow 🙁

anyway here's what i've done... http://www.sharebigfile.com/file/84306/the-weird-wavegenerator-1-osm.html

hope this help's you in your quest 😉

oh and that's a neat idea with the T.V's, look's great!

cheer's

thx for the answer . there was no main idea behind my schematic, i was just playing with lfo´s and displays and this was the result. But the waveforms looked very cool and when the display would be recently been updated + showing exactly what the wave is doing it would be very cool.

btw: i did not know that the tv screens are still in my schematic, thought they are just in the vst/exe version, but you´re right, would be a cool graphical analyser GUI...
