encoder audio

I'm shocked, that after many years with Max, I still have these silly problems :(

I mean, I have a noise object, which goes into a '+' object. (left inlet)

Right inlet is a phasor, with a volume control.

I would like to achieve, that if I raise the volume of the phasor, it will turn down the volume of the noise, but actually there is no sound, until I turn on the phasor...

Maybe I should sleep or drink some coffee :D

maybe you should post the patch as far as you already got it.

to add some simple "modulation" to an oscillator can sometimes be tricky, it often invovlves + as well as *, sometmies even three objects.

i think what you want is to reverse the volume paramater for the noise, which you should do by !- 1.

otherwise you would have to measure the power of the right signal using average and stuff.

I'll echo what Roman suggests - an example patch would more clearly demonstrate your precise needs. This example illustrates how to invert amplitude scaling, using either [!- 1.], or a neat little trick using the [cycle~] object's phase inlet:
