Reset signal to default value upon cable detachment
Hey,
so I have this simple patch which uses a cycle~ 10 object to modulate the amplitude of another cycle~.
What I want to achieve is for the multiplication object *~ 1. to revert to it's default value after the cable gets pulled from the inlay.
If I connect the LFO directly to the multiplication object and remove the cable, everything works fine - the multiplication object reverts to its default value.
But as soon as there is an inlet in-between and I remove the connection, the multiplication object receives a constant stream of zeros (0).
I built a patch to solve the issue, but it feels way too complicated...
Can someone point me to an easier and more straightforward solution?
Thank you very much
you can use [dspstatus] to reset signal objects by messages whenever the signal chain interrupts.
but it might not be cool in every situation, because it will do that also after you open the patcher.
@Kyle
Thank you for the patch, but it has one problem.
When I remove the patch cord, it doesn't get set to 1., but to 44100 (my current sample rate) and the output goes into clipping immediately.
@Roman
Thank you, but I can't find the object dspstatus; only dspstate~ and this one only reports the overall dsp state.
Dang, I'm getting a 1. here. Sorry, but I have no idea what could be the cause of this discrepancy.
Weird...
Thank you anyway!
Even the simplest setup will produce the 44100.
With @min and @max set it works.
I will report a bug.
Hi Timo, I can confirm that this happens and is a Windows only issue. @default appears to be completely ignored and the inlet defaults to the current sample rate. Thanks for the report, the issue is now ticketed.
"only dspstate~ and this one only reports the overall dsp state."
which is enough. when you change a connection, the DSP is interrupted, dspstate will output the current SR (again) - now you connect a [t b] to it and you have a mechanism which recognizes any interruption.
ah, i missed that the object also has an output for on and off :) so you were using that and ran into a bug. :)
on/off and SR works both for me in max4-win and max7-win
