I am in the process of developing a realtime loop sampler and basically are currently setting up the architecture at the beginning to avoid later to rewrite everything.

I reviewed most of the gen loopers that are in the forum and the architecture is pretty similar. Take a gen buffer with a peek and poke object as well as a counter to get according writing / reading positions out.

So far so good. All of them introduce clicks which is normal when loops will be reset to the beginning of the loop.

In my example attached which is a pretty stripped down version where I only record some audio from a mic to a buffer I still get clicks when just start or reset the recording position during the recording which is to me very strange. Why is recording (no output signal at the peek object) introducing clicks at the output???

It came apparent to me as I was stripping down the examples to isolate if the clicks where due to audio loops looping or if something else introduced the clicks.

Please see my patcher (very simple). Press recording once and then click a couple of times on the reset button. You will hear what I experience...

So please, could somebody solve that riddle to me?

Why is gen doing this?

Hi all, I found the source of the clicking. It was just resetting the counter - as always abrupt silencing of audio introduce clicks. Sorry for this post - should have come to this conclusion before posting ...

Reset of buffer writing position (GEN) introduces clicks on the audio output??
