Reset cycle~ Phase with bang?

Hi,
I am synthesizing a bell tone that has some slight modulation on the fundamental. I have amp modulated the tone with a cycle~ object. The only problem is that when I trigger the bell tone using a bang the modulated cycle could be anywhere in it’s waveform. Therefore the hits are not consistent. How do I reset the phase of the cycle on each bang?

Thanks in advance, Mike.

is this what you want to do?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Sending a 0. into the phase input doesn’t seem to work for me. I have tried a float into sig~ and into phase as well and it still doesn’t reset.

Thanks,Mike.

You can use a phasor~ to drive the phase inlet of cycle~ and then reset phasor with a [button] > [ trigger 0]. Then you just send the desired frequency to phasor~ instead of cycle~.

like so:

I see…

Maybe you could post a small patch with what you want to do
and indicate the problem specifically.

Cheers!

Excellent. The phasor reset works. Thanks for the help guys.

Thanx Tim Llyod, helped here to get phase distorted bass drums clean.

Question: How to avoid clicks on a cycle~ when the phasor~ gets triggered again? Example patch:

Hi
in this solution I reset the phase of the oscillator in 1ms, then open the envelope over 5ms. It’s simply a matter of event ordering, and seems to work fine; any residual transients occur only at around 100-200Hz, but are not envelope or phase-reset clicks:

Thank you very much, Brendan. Smart and simple.
