Ok. So I've got a wavefile player, which is being multiplied with a sine wave. This results in the wave's pitch being altered as I play different midi notes to control the frequency of the sine wave.

But for some reason its made it monophonic, I can't play another note until I wait for my envelope to stop.

Any ideas?

Yeah, the wave file player at the moment is not good enough, it's just an initial version and it keeps looping at 64k samples. We'll improve it soon and release a poly version of it too.

As far as i know the wavefile player is still in beta so it might be better to just leave it for now untill its a bit more advanced. Then you will be able to do all types of things with it. 🙂

Ok, got it. I'm only using the wavefile player temporarily, when I export to VST, the wavefile players will be replace with live audio inputs.

So when I export to a VST, it should be polyphonic right? Basically I want to be able to play a chord on the sine wave, and have those pitches transfered to the live incoming audio.

I dont know the answer to that, I'd like to know, so if you find out please let us know. I think SM is not ready to have a VSTi export accept audio input but I wouldnt be surprised if it works.

You might get better results with the following:

[old link] but probably still not exactly what you're trying to achieve. Best to wait until we have proper Mono and Poly wave players.

The poly components work on 4 channels simultaneously while the mono works on only one, that's why I used a pack component to replicate the same mono channel into the other 3 channels. They all share the exact same data so it might not be exactly what you want.

Hmmm... very strange. I've exported as a VST, and it is still monophonic.

That's the schematic in a rar file. Would you take a look and see if you can spot why its monophonic? It seems to wait until the ADSR has finished its cycle before it allows another midi note to trigger the sine wave.

I copied over your audio section and now it's working. I guess the audio inputs NEED to be packed in order for it to work properly.
