i am trying send a single bang from a note with amplitude above zero. i am working with violin and orchestra bass.

Analyzer~ 'attack' works for sfz or heavy attacks. but i want to do volume crescendos starting from niente and crescendoing slowly. so i need to get a single bang from .001 or above then no more bangs until the amplitude goes back to zero.

i don't have an example cause so far everything is failing.

i tried using 'onebang' and this works as long as the occurrence of notes is slow and i manually reset the 'onebang' after the note finishes. but there is no way that i can manually 'onebang' the entire piece especially when the instruments are entering and exiting at different time, so i need this to be automated.

other things i have tried is setting fzero pitch detection to 0 so when a repeated note is played it will detect it, but it will not detect low amplitude and is inconsistent with the number of bangs it sends.

i tried using an if statement- if $f1 > 0. then 1 else 0 and use those bangs to reset the onebang but the 0 continuously bangs when the audio is turned on. (was using peak amp~ should try analyzer~ here)

so again, i need one single bang to be sent the moment the amplitude goes above 0 and no more bangs until AFTER the amplitude returns to 0 again and begins going up.

need-a-single-bang-from-amplitude-above-0

Sends one bang out after 0.9 is passed and will only send out a bang again after the signal has dropped below 0.9 and above again.

Use the past object
eg
past 0.9
Sends one bang out after 0.9 is passed and will only send out a bang again after the signal has dropped below 0.9 and above again.


wow, been using max for about 5 years and feel like i know 1% of it. thanks!

need a single bang from amplitude above 0
