Phasor jumpy when changing sync rate
Hi,
Why does phasor jump to a new value when I change the sync rate multiplier? Is there any way to smooth out this jump?
Ive tried using "line" which does create a ramp, but when the ramp is not working there is no signal.
A little patch to demonstrate what I mean:
Any1?
Here I have done a patch outlining the difference between phasor, rampsmooth and line.
Any know which tool is best for the job? Am I using them in the right way?
Any 1 want to comment on this? It seems that most of the LFO's in every Max implementation of phasor seem to have a problem with this, so it would be a help to anyone creating synced timings.
Any1 can help poor newtfish?
I do not quite well understand you. But what i can tell about your patches, as i see jump happens because of scaling 0 - 1 interval for different note values.
Hi Ivnos,
Not sure how scaling will affect this.
Basically, when the phasor sync is switched (say from 1/2 to 1/4), the phasor jumps directly to the position where is should be according to 1/4. Whereas I was hoping to find a way to get it to smooth out that jump (while going back into sync within a short period).
Abletons own devices seem to do this. I thought it would be something that is common with the usage of phasor sync?
This may not apply to your situation, but have you tried setting the sync mode to off?
Hi NECEQ, if sync mode is set to off, how can I move from 1/2 to 1/4 ? Is it possible to calculate the frequency based on synced values?
I understand what you're talking about all too well. I ran into this problem when coding my "binary" (and then "hex") mod for monomodular. The problem is the sync setting: if you turn sync off, phasor won't jump....but of course then there isn't proper sync. It seemed like a bug, but when I thought about it I realized it was a necessary evil of phasor remaining in sync when changing frequencies.
The solution I use it to scale the phasor using a custom gen~ object...unfortunately my implementation is pretty application specific so I doubt it would help you. Anyway, just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.
