I wonder whether anyone may be able to offer me some pointers when it comes to ensuring a multivoice poly~ doesn’t clip on output? I have a groove~ patch within a 12 voice poly~ and understand that there may be occasions when the combined gain of the output of the poly~ may exceed 1. I’ve taken a look at the limi~ and tap.elixir~ objects, but it’s unclear to me where I should place them (i.e inside or out of the poly~) and how exactly they would work. Can anyone post a working example?

Thanks a lot,

Chris.

make a buffer, pass the name of the buffer to a kpl_normalize
instance in your poly~ patch,

Here’s a sample sine polysynth. test_kpl_normalize is needed by
poly_normalize_test as the poly~ patcher.

The first Let me know if you want the source to compile on windows.

thanks

I’ve had the exact same issue. I wrote the following to get rid of
this:

instance in your poly~ patch,

poly_normalize_test as the poly~ patcher.

I forget that there’s no way of attaching files to a forum post.
I use the mailing list… so I can receive files with no issues.

I’ll post the source / patch source tonight.
I think that there should be some sort of mechanism that replaces my
external built into poly~
I’m sure a whole lot of people would like to be able to normalize
their poly~ output in a similar fashion.
Or perhaps I’m missing something?

Could you please repost the patches and include everything into a zip?
files with no extensions get completely screwed through the mail, or
paste them as text into the mail.
