look at the osm posted, there seems to be a bugged addition when you directly connect. this maybe is also the case with stream inputs, since i had some strange things with double connections, but none when explicitly added in code. so to make sure, always write out the operation to be sure.

I think the error comes because the operands are first rounded, then added. So, 2.7 becomes 2, and 0.5 becomes 0. Then, 2+0=2.

that makes sense

There is a reason for the float add prim... 😈

Are U sure?

Yes I am sure in the discussed int rounding case. If you want to avoid an additional float data prim you've to take the add prim before routing it to an int instead of simply connecting both floats to the int in. I can't remember that i used the add prim in any other case. Your picture displays a general float issue.

Even here you could add at a float data primitive's input and then feed to the integer data primitive for truncation... the add module does make some schematics easier to read but I can't think if a single case were the same result can't be achieved another way.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
