I'm having one of those 'MSP hates me' days... ho hum.

Thanks to numerous contributors here I have built a tidy little granulator, which I plan to polyphonize (?) later. It relies on [phasor~] driven [sah~] objects to create totally click-free grains, down to c. 20ms. In this time-region, however, the inherent amplitude modulation from the rapid amp window is creating some irritating 'bubblyness', which I thought I might be able to ameliorate using a 180deg phase-shifted replica of the mono-engine. TimLloyd et al contributed some valuable ideas, particularly the use of [pong~], but am unable to implement it the way I want. Please have a look at the simple attachment below and bestow your wisdom on me forum!

Anyhoo

This isn't a bump - just thought the post needed clarification: using the grain engine above, can I duplicate it (from [phasor~] to [play~] perhaps) with the [phasor~] ramp phase-shifted 180deg using [+~ 0.5] -> [pong~ 1 0 1]? I have tried, but always seem to get sync problems and clicking in the shifted duplicate.

Hey Brendan, regarding pong, you can also use [+~ 0.5] -> [%~ 1.].

I have not looked at the rest of the patch tho.

my somewhat limited skillz with DSP in Max, and experimentation with this patch tell me that [pong~] isn't the issue, it's how to correctly duplicate the working grain engine...

Thanks Panos

For The parameters in your patch, something like this?

Notice the Jitter param: this is for making less AM

thanks very much, this seems to work very well; i'll have a tinker and get back to you
