panning in poly~
I am trying to implement panning in this synth patch. Rather than applying the panning to currently active voice it is global.
I am sure it has something to do with a target message that I am not sure how to implement yet.
I can't get the code to post so I am attaching the patches.
s/r are global, whereas in 1/in 2/etc. can be local (they can also be global). Change "r pan" to in 2, then before sending the pan value into the second inlet in the main patch, specify a target.
(e.g. target 3, pan 50)
Alternatively, if you want it to change on a per note basis, send it in as part of a list with the "note" message, and unpack from there.
That makes sense. I'll try that as I do want it on a per note basis.
I tried both and neither works for me. Most likely operator error. in2 does get the line from the panner in but is still only global. I tried prepending @target 0 to the line message but I just kept getting the error "doesn't understand @target".
I also pack the list together using "pack 0. 0." --> note $1 --> to poly~. I then unpacked inside poly with unpack 0. 0. but got nothing for panning.
Try using "prepend note" instead of the message box. (the prepend object with "note" as argument)
- Note $1 means "note first_value_in_list", so you won't get the pan value that way
- It needs to be "target" instead of "@target"; also if you use 0 it will target all voices, IIRC.
It may be working now. I think I just didn't have enough data going through.
