suddenly all my groove objects stopped producing sound in all my patches.

To get sound again I have to connect the groove object to both inlets of *~ instead of only the left one. I also can not longer use a flonum going to the right inlet of *~ to control volume...does someone know what is going on?

out-of-control

can you demonstrate with an example patch, then we can verify it? Are you connecting floats AND signals to the right inlet. Intermittent audio shutdowns, like you suggest, usually result from clipping/feedback issues.

I do have an important question...(concerning the patch see post above)

When I connect a number~ to the right inlet of *~ it seems to work better combined with a line object than a regular number object. In most tutorials you do however find a regular number box connected with a regular cord to *~ instead of the msp-cord. Which one should I use?

Use line~ or curve~ since they will produce interpolating changes rather than stair-stepped changes (which cause "zipper noise").

thanks! But, do you see anything wrong with my patch? I still can't see the problem..

Well, there seems to be nothing intrinsically *wrong* with your patch; the [*~] objects are working as expected. But they seem unnecessary, as you're using [live.gain~] objects as well, which do the same job.

Thanks, I was using the [live.gain~] objects to "see" the sound as my ears are getting very tired : ) I will further investigate why the [*~] objects are not working on my system.

*~ out of control?
