Hi,
I've tried using the M2F component but can't get it to work the way I'd expect it to. Check out the following schematic :-
Am I using the M2F right? As the 'poly to float' (using the analyser/graph to float) works just fine. I assumed the M2F would work the same way, but simplify things?!
Hmmm. Any info greatly appreciated 🙂

Maybe if you include a DirectSoundOut and switch it on it will work. Here is an example of an M2F in use:
The MonoToFloat component samples a running mono path whenever it receives a trigger. You must have a mono path with values going through it and that's why at the moment you need the DirectSoundOut or ASIOOut to be running. The analyser works in a different way, it keeps inside a separate section of compiled code that runs whenever it receives a trigger. So think of the analyser trigger as a "run" trigger and the M2F trigger as a "sample" trigger.
Here is another example of an adaptation of unkargherth lvlmeter schematic to work with the M2F:

here's an example that works:
At some stage I'll try to change it to be more flexible and work even when there is not output device selected. Please note that while the Code inside the analyser runs only once when it receives a trigger, the mono code connected to the M2F in the schematic above runs constantly at sample rate.

Ok, thanks for making that clear!!! If I want to use the code component for float maths then I'd be better off using the analyser method right, seeing as it's not running at sample rate but only when needed?!
Cheers,

Yeah, that's the best way, the code only runs when the analyser receives a trigger and it is very efficient compiled code although for float calculations you dont need efficient code.
