Additive Synthesis - changing the multiple

R_Gol's icon

I made a simple additive synth and I would like to change the multiple number of one of the overtones with a box number but it i not working,
any idea what I'm missing ?

I'm trying to change the multiple 7 to 10 and the freq stay the same ...

the right inlet of [* 7] ist not hot, so there is no output when changed. Use a [Trigger b I]

Sorry but I don't think I understand how to use a Trigger and which one ?

Yes thank you! that was very helpful.
I've got a question regarding this method. why I cannot multiply in number that are not whole, such as 8.2 ?

R_Gol's icon

Yes that make sense! many thanks!

I've got another question regarding a different patch using the transport and metro object.

I understood that the metro is synced to the global time of the transport. in my patch it doesn't happening. any idea why ?

or you can use signals earlier than you currently do.

with [*~ 7.] both inlets will change the output.

but it is only worth the extra CPU cost if you need to have signal at this point anyway for another reason. for example for modulation.
