MSP audio CLICKS again - on fast sequencing (not in loopmode)
Jan 24 2012 | 1:42 am
Hi,
its an old issue and you find many postings, but none of the solutions works for my purpose. the grooveduck example is perfect for loops, but i do not get it working well with triggered playback. [trapezoid] is too slow i think, and line~ well, i just don´t get it done.
the problem is bass tones, especially fast kick drums. when the same sample buffer is triggered a second time, before the first hit playback has cometo en end, it clicks. i tried fading down to zero before triggering again, but it is not really solid.
please take some time to help (and please max5 patches only).

The problem with trapezoid is that it's relative to sample size, so on long files its a fade rather than a declick.The last few versions that Peter posted you can see some math used to figure out an absolute trapezoid fade which sounds great. If you just remove wave~ it ill work in max5.

Basically making it polyphonic.The tutorial (in the help) on poly is pretty easy to get your head around and would do just that.
