Hi, ----- Original Message ----- From: jmmmpl@netcabo.pt
I also noted something: when trying to make a dynamic amplitude control (output of vslider with right input of *~), it would only work if the
signal
multiplier would be stated as "*~0", with just "*~" it would give the amplitude of the recorded sample. Is this normal, or just a small insect (bug)?
A "*~" box with nothing connected to one of the inlets should output a signal=0. If you send a number as a message or a float value to one of the inlets, this is different: sending a message "3" to one of the inlets should be like connecting a "sig~ 3" to this inlet.
I would like also to report a strange behaveor in switch~: in the help
file
it works fine, but when trying to control it (with a toggle), instead of switching dsp, it only switched sound, dsp calculation would continue. And after switching dsp really off (with a message), by turning switch~ on dsp would not be really turned on, it would only be switched on by another message (by the way, the help option points to the wrong file)
I don't know what exactly does "switch~" internally, but it really turns off some dsp calculations inside a patch and its subpatches (different from turning every dsp off). Try it in a patch with a lot of dsp objects, and look at the value in the load meter.
