Resolution of shape~

Little-P's icon

hey everyone!

i recently discoverd the shape~ object - great thing!

But i asking myself how precise this is.

i use shape~ combined with a function object und changed the domain of this to different resolutions. but this made no difference. so i assume shape~ itself is creating something like a lookup table from the informations it gets from the function object. but this needs to have a size in some kind of way.

i wonder what the boundaries of this object is.

can someone help?

greetings

check out the constant attribute.

change [setdomian ****] message in [function] - > and see differences between constant 1, 2 in [shape~]

the [shape~] help page does not explain this - would be very helpful if it did.


constant 0 (default) there is no difference in domain length

hmmm. it's still quite vague what shape~ is doing inside.

i thought it's just creating an array from the information of the function object and you index it with a signal.

but when you change constant to != 0, e.g. to 1, after the first segment it's just sending the values out, also without changing a index pointer.

So whats the resolution/array size at costant = 0? we should know this.
