Hallo, Michael Garrett hat gesagt: // Michael Garrett wrote:
Here is a link to the simple synth I am starting with. It simulates the sound of a PVC type xylophone. It adjusts the delay length based on the requested note.
It is this synth that got me thinking about pre-exiting the delay line in order to get low frequency sounds.
You synth sounds very nice! A little hint: You can use $0 in the name of delay lines instead of $1. That way you could get rid of the A, B, C, ... stuff that you use to differentiate between delays. As all your delays are in a seperate abstraction $0 will be unique.
Then I don't really understand why preloading the delay line should give better low frequency sounds. Is it, because with lower notes and thus longer delay times you will have to wait longer for the first result? Isn't that the same with a real double bass, which also has a certain inertia?
You have some minor bugs in your patch: First the [poly] number "4" is too small to get all possible polyphony. You could raise it to 8. Then you should check the triggering in pcv_synth_001.pd: You have to make sure, that the [1000( gets sent to the [/ ] after the [mtof] was send there. This isn't sure in your patch. Attached is a version with a fix that involves creating an additional outlet for the trigger-object.
