Hi guys,

has anyone managed to produce and envelope to solve the problem of clicks and pops

when using a swift attack and a longer release and retriggering an envelope whilst the envelope is still in its release

phase?

There was a topic on this not too long ago but it seemed to peter out in to nothing...

If you want to recreate the problem get a sine oscillitor going in to any SM envelope have short attack no hold or decay,

full sustain and a medium to long release then hammer a midi key in a rhythmic fashion...

pop pop pop all day long!

waaa

Any help appreciated,

Thanks,

g

Thanks a lot for the reply 🙂 ,

Actually the problem I have is for a effects plugin,

So it will be dealing with an audio stream coming from outside the plugin,

How could I stop that clicking?

(The effect plugin is essentially a midi-triggered gate plugin to recreate the effect of a side chain compressor btw)

Thanks a lot,

Sorry, but with out an OSM I cannot picture what you are talking about.

Hi thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay...

Here is the osm all you need to do is hook up the float to the frequency of the oscillator to simulate external audio,

then hit any midi key to duck the signal and make it click by rhythmically hitting the midi,

It is gonna be a really useful plugin if i can get it to work without clicking...

I really hope you can help...

Thanks a lot

p.s. please excuse the gui - obviously no way near finished at all

you go to a sustainlevel of ~0.6 with a decay of 0, thats the click, if you set sustain to 1 it doesnt click. if you need a sustain other than 1, set a small decay, and or put a dezip after the envelope.

Thanks for the reply 🙂 ,

the de-zip stopped the clicks but also change the shape of the audio waves passing through increasing the harmonics slightly,

I wonder if there is another way of smoothing out clicks without change the sound...

{edit}

I have tried it in my DAW with a real audio stream and it sounds awful - really glitchy and all over the place...

that's a shame

any other ideas?

thanks g

Ok I have done it! 😀

Thank so much! 😀

I changed the position of the dezip and it works perfectly now!

Wicked!

Thanks!
