offsetting master phasor
Hi there,
my multi channel looper app is running off a master phasor which feeds a ramp to the various channels and gets adjusted according the number of beats (using pong~etc.)
Now I wanted to add loop slicing with the monome (jumping to various slices a la mlr), and I figured the easiest way to do that would be to phase-offset the individual ramps per channel. But how to do that ?
I know that I can change the phase of the phasor itself, but doesn't make sense as there is only one.
The other option would be to play each slice individually (using groove~ instead of wave~), but then I would leave the signal domain.
any recommendations ?
thx nick
I'm not sure what you have in mind exactly but you could check out my
p.decimator abstraction and/or look into using rate~ for phase offsets.

really? I understood groove~ to be in the signal domain, am I missing something? run by a sig~?

Perhaps some trickery with +~ creating a kind of offset for the different needs, several "offset" signals coming out of the main phasor~, I'm not sure without more info. Also you could go ahead and use multiple phasors~, I don't know that it would make a difference except in the design ... which admittedly you might not want to change :)
@pelado
thx, that will probably perfectly do as goto allows for quantisation as well in order to stay sync'ed. I assumed it only allows for multiplication, and not adding/offset. RTFM....
@seejayjames
you are right, it is in the signal domain for speed, loop start and loop end. It is all in ms though, so I will try rate~first.
thx guys
thx rabidraja for those interesting examples as it isn't the easiest topic, and those provide insight into signal processing tricks. not sure though how to apply it to my task at hand.
I implemented the rate~solution which enables independent offsetting and multiplication (tempo) per channel, and it works fine, including quantisation (goto xx xx), reset (goto 0. 0.) and unsynced (goto xx).
cheers, nick
