Additive synthesis with [mc.cycle~] question
Hi there. I am not too familiar with the mc. family of object, but is there a way to set up a [mc.cycle~] with some harmonic content using the "harmonic" message, and then drive its pitch with signal, while maintaining the harmonics ?
I thought harmonics would be kept, a bit like a "preset".
Well, meanwhile, it was not too complicated to not use the "harmonic" message.
to learn the 'multichannel operator' messages to MC, you can use 'mc.number~' to see the static values coming out of 'mc.sig~', then send those directly to 'mc.cycle~'(with 'mc.scope~' allowing for visualization), if you'd like:
...so for your specific example, use a flonum going into a message "harmonic 1. $1" and that into [mc.sig~ @chans 8], then that into [mc.rampsmooth~ 200 200], and finally that straight into [mc.cycle~], like so 👇
(you don't need to have '@chans 8' entered into every object, just the top most connected, the number of channels for 'MC' will auto-populate down from there)
