I have suspected [envrms~] of wrecking the performance of my patches before (on a PowerBook G4). I was never quite sure if it was really [envrms~]'s fault until I discovered [unsig~ #] and never went back. [unsig~] will do what [envrms~] does, but also allows you to set the sample time in milliseconds. I wonder if anyone else has had [envrms~] audio freezes.
Very interesting. But [envrms~] makes the patch work, rather than breaking it in this case. If you look inside the two [clinok_x~] units you'll see that the noise/filter section of the synthesizer on the left _without_ [envrms~] connected does not work! [envrms~] is only connected "sideways" in fact - it does not play a part in the realisation of any signal or control parameter in this synth, so why it should cause the patch to work is quit baffling. It is as though [envrms~] is acting as a valve on the outlet of the [clip~] object, like siphoning petrol from an engine by sucking on a pipe.

Hi there,
I've encountered this before, but now it has sabotaged
one thing I wanted to play at pdcon, I want to work out why it happens.
Enclosed is a folder containing two versions of my
clinoker~ drum synth. On one of them, the filter for the noise generator does not work, and on the other it does. The only difference between them is an [envrms~] measuring object on the frequency signal to the filter - but it's not even in the chain of signals that affects anything.
Have a look. Ideas please? Ed
