Howdy all. I just got into RNBO this week and I've been having an issue wherein patches I render as VSTs do not produce audio. This screenshot of my Ableton session is my best attempt at showing what's wrong without an audio example. In Ableton, after every plugin in the chain, there's a measure of volume (the green monitors), and as you can hopefully see my RNBO plugin doesn't get any output. There is no sound, no levels, nothing.

Here's what my patch looks like, I've tried making many other patches but below is my desperate attempt to try to get audio working.

Like ?????? what is going wrong here????? Some things I'm considering:

I’m trying to learn how to export an RNBO object as an AU MIDI effect to be used in Logic. I see two options for exporting to AU plugins: 1. Instrument, which shows up as an AU instrument in Logic, 2. effect which shows up as an audio effect. None of them show up as a midi effect. Is this not possible or am I missing something ? Thank you!

I want to make a microtonal quantizer that has per voice pitch bend out (via MPE), it is a part of a larger patch. I get it to retune notes monophonically, but I can't figure out how to make it polyphonic. I can't find much information about how to implement MPE midi out from RNBO. 

I have tried to add the @polyphony 8 attribute to my subpatcher "quant", but that does not work. Does anybody know how to make it work? I would really appreciate some help with this.

I'm working on a simple audio FX with the idea of first developing it as a Max4Live device, using RNBO, and then exporting the C++ to be used in my custom JUCE project (so I can add a custom Ui etc.)

The FX is basically doing a simple (bell) filter sweep across the frequency spectrum. 

It all seemed well until I tested with a simple sine wave as an input and realised the VST plugin is actually introducing distortion. 

The Max4Live device, however, doesn't do that and sounds completely fine. 

Since, according my understanding at least, the Max4Live device and the VST share the same exact C++ code at this stage, I thought the issue could be in the way I used the 

 inside my C++ project, so, as a test, I tried exporting the VST directly from RNBO (the one with the auto-generated GUI) and surprise... That's also introducing distortion!! 

So I wonder, given that the issue isn't due to the way I interfaced the exported C++ code with my code, could that be a RNBO bug?

Hi . . Looking into how to recall snapshots/presets on a Raspberry Pi. The docs say the Pi will load the first snapshot in the presets file that is sent to the Pi which is fine. How does one access other snapshots in the preset file via OSC messages? I see the docs mention using rnbo.remote so I poked through that to see if there is an obvious OSC path to use but i didn't find it. Thanks!

so....  something like 

oscsend osc.udp://c74rpi.local:1234 /rnbo/inst/0/presets/load  s "presetname"


not tried it... so Id double check the namespace as shown on readme, in case its changed etc.

(also check that rnbo.remote is working... Ive noticed a few things in RNBO that are not yet implemented ;) ) 

As mentioned you can access the list of available OSC paths via a web-browser. More info on that can be found on these two pages in the RNBO Docs:

If you are looking for a quick and simple way to change and save presets - the web interface hosted on the provided Raspberry Pi image provides that functionality as well via the WebSocket interface of the OSCQueryRunner.

I'm running into an issue where it seems both [noise~] and a [gen~] patcher with noise going to out1 both do not produce sound when using Web Export. In my case I've created a very simple synthesizer. It takes in a frequency and a "type" (ie the wave). All other wave types work for example [cycle~] and [tri~] but when I attempt to switch my selector to the noise it goes silent. Oddly my browser still detects audio as playing and I hear a click which leads me to believe its outputting a constant value but I cannot record my desktop audio to confirm this at the moment.

Below is an image of the various setups I attempted. Anyone know whats going on here or maybe some workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Note: All versions of this patch function properly inside of Max when tested and only fail upon Web Export.

I'm curious about parameter value smoothing in RNBO. I currently have a rampsmooth~ after every param, as they are largely fed by MIDI, and even mouse interaction can be kind of janky with the parameters with large value spreads. 

It's more of a security blanket though - I'm not sure when it really necessary to smooth a param output or not. I'd rather not find out on a case by case basis since I have 30+ parameters! If smoothing is usually needed on param output to avoid zippers, would it make sense to incorporate an

I'm trying to make a real-time phase vocoder in RNBO like the ones in 

. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I want to share what I have so far and get all the feedback I can.

The first example patch from the tutorial 

 ports with some modifications to compensate for RNBO's lack of framedelta~ and frameaccum~, pictured below:

Note that this is a crude workaround. While it can resynthesize the original signal as cleanly as the tutorial patches, it produces unexpected pitch/formant/phase artifacts when timestretched even a little bit , and these artifacts are notably stronger than those in the tutorial.  I assume they stem from my framedelta~ and frameaccum~ workarounds. I tinkered with this patch for a while to no avail and eventually decided to try the same thing without polar coordinates. 

The tutorial's cartesian PVOC example uses some pink send~ and receive~ pairs in what 

 an infinite loop outside the pfft~ setting:

Sure enough, attempting this scheme in RNBO wouldn't compile at first because of the infinite loop. It managed to compile with a feedback~ thrown in, but the resulting patch only produced harsh clipping. Delaying the feedback loop by fftsize or hopsize created the same clipping, which persisted even with the feedback multiplied by decimals in the 0.1 - 0.4 range.
