bias

Hi, I'm using CNMAT's resonators~ which produces an impulse passing through a bank of resonant filters.

The impulse is created on the next vector from bang, and I want to smooth its attack with an envelope created by curve~ (triggered by the same bang...).

My question is: what is the best strategy to be sure that the envelope is triggered exactly in the same instant of the impulse which excite the filter bank, and regardless of the signal vector size?

Maybe using signal rate triggers for both? How can I make it in the smartest way?

Your experience will be appreciated.

specification: resonators~ creates an impulse on the first sample of the next signal vector computed.

Are you trying to hit resonators~ with an impulse while shaping the attack with curve~?

I think I would prefer using click~ to create a more interesting impulse for resonators~. Or, use curve~ to shape some noise~ (or pink~) going into resonators.

I think resonators~ has an internal impulse generator which I prefer, because the sonic result is the same BUT using click~ I have to multiply the signal for a very high factor to obtain an usable output signal level, while sending a float to resonator~ gives me the corresponding level, and I prefer to shape the envelope after the generation of the resonances.

The problem is that the same bang triggers the envelope at control rate and the message to resonators~, which generates the impulse at the first sample of the next vector, i.e. not always in the same moment: it depends on when i trigger bang, on the size of signal vector, on the sample rate.

Since I want to control the very attack of the sound (the very first samples), I want to be precise and to hook the start of the envelope with the beginning of the sound.

curve~ shaping noise~ is another section of the patch yet... ;)
