Flipping [phasor~] possible? (Read EDIT)

invert = abs(x-1)

depending on what you exactly want to achieve you might wanna add a multiply by -1 to flip to the negative side.

I get a "No such object" error for your [expr~] object.

EDIT: I understand what you were doing now, but I can't figure out how to do it. I tried using [snapshot~] to change [phasor~] into numbers. Then, I used the [expr] object with your expression. After that, I put a [line~] object to try and change those numbers to a signal. This didn't work. Nonetheless, I've run into a new problem. Please read my EDT in the original post.

sorry i didn't realize [expr~] is an external: http://www.maxobjects.com/?v=objects&id_objet=3882&PHPSESSID=54afd061e69f4ae890b938aa7359baee

this does the same with standard objects:

From your edits I get the feeling your MSP knowledge is very basic. Did you do the tutorials? That should clarify a lot. For example, there's totally no need for converting the phasor signal 'to numbers'.

I've been doing the tutorials as I need them, but they are difficult for me to understand, sometimes. Maybe I just need to go over them more than once. I'll give them a look again. Thanks.

the help files and the reference pdf/html are most of the time much more helpful than the tutorial patches could ever be.

btw, i would build simple oscillators around cycle~ or wave~, and not phasor~.

usign max objects and try things with numbers to find your way for the audio signal layout is a good idea, even experienced users do that sometimes. with numbers it is much better to have visual control over whats happening.

sure, but you probably don't wanna model an analog synth through the message scheduler instead of the DSP ;)

I have successfully completed the synth that I was working on. It doesn't model the actual wave very well, as it uses [phasor~] as the original oscillator, but it seems to model it better than most of the TB-303 emulators that I've seen. Most people seem to do no research on the synth and, unfortunately, use the antialiased [rect~] wave for the square. While this SOMEWHAT does the job, it doesn't do it in the same way that the original accomplishes it's "square" wave. If anyone would care to have a look at my synth and give me some feedback on what I should add etc., you can download it here: http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/1723/tb-305

Thanks for any feedback and all the help you guys have given me! =) Hopefully, as time goes on, I won't have to ask for so much help with my patches.

Certainly a nice analog-modeling exercise. Though to say it's better than most emulators is a bit overarching, no? Or are you just looking at M4L emulators? Though not an expert on 303 matters I think a lot is to be gained in the filter. As Wetterberg commented on maxforlive.com, there's the plopping and to me it doesn't sound quite right.
Isn't the 303 filter 3-pole (18dB/oct)? If you're so much in recreating the true analog waveform then you should also be after the true analog filter response hé.
An awesome emulator is http://d16.pl/phoscyon

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that the filter is a 4-pole lowpass. I may be wrong, so I'll look into it some more. That site you directed me to seems to think otherwise, so I think I'll change that. Also, I never really meant that my wave emulation was "better" than anyone else's. I just noticed that most of the people posting their devices on maxforlive.com were posting true square waves, rather than even attempting to recreate what the original actually does. So, yes, I was only looking at M4L emulators.

I am, however, very concerned with that "thump" on the release phase of the filter envelope. I've searched for ways to solve the problem, but I haven't found anything. At first, I figured that I would make the filter's [adsr~] signal never go to 0, but that proved to create more problems than it solved. One question I have about this is the recreation of this bug. Under how many different circumstances will it occur and what are these circumstances? The only one I've found/noticed is this:

When the resonance is high and the amplitude envelope's release is greater than that of the filter's envelope release, it causes the filter to quickly sweep to 0 and thus creates an annoying "thump".

I think what I'm going to do is use the amplitude envelope's release a "global" release as a quick-fix. Hopefully, I'll be able to fix it so that both will be fully functional, but until then, I want to release a synth with as few bugs as possible.

EDIT: Wikipedia seems to suggest that it's a 4-pole filter. This is turning out to be a more confusing project than I originally thought. I'm probably going to stick with the 4-pole, lowpass filter, because I can get fully-interactive frequency and resonance controls. I haven't quite figured out a method to do the same with a 3-pole filter. I've tried using [filterdesign], but that doesn't allow me to adjust the resonance. I've also used [onepole~] fed into [biquad~] to recreate a 3-pole filter, but the resonance control isn't fully adjustable this way. If there's any way I can recreate a 3-pole filter with fully interactive frequency and resonance controls, please, let me know. Before you ask, yes, I have done research on doing this. I've used the object explorer in Max, looked at references and help files, and read tutorials. I can't seem to find this information anywhere.
