i've been working on waveguides for a little while, and i've been curious of creating a model that could produce an oscillation without using a "long" delay line , but only 1 samples feedback loops.

i realized that in some situation, manipulating the gain of a really short delay line could produce low oscillations. i am surprised by that and i don't understand how it's possible. i have a here an example of an oscillator that is almost in tune, that can create almost any frequency without the use of a "long" delay line, or a wavetable, or a sine/cosine object.

it seems like this system is a self-sustained oscillator, as it produces a periodic oscillation without any periodic input. through trial an errors, i found the formulas in order to tune the oscillator and define its frequency properly, and also to adjust the output's amplitude accordingly.  

does anybody know if this oscillator could be useful ? i wonder how this is even possible. at least, adding some fm modulation and self modulation can create interesting chaotic sounds, that are a bit different from the sounds achieved with more traditional, parametric oscillators.

Is it possible to build in max a granular Synth that uses 20 samples at the same time? Meaning it takes grains or small parts out of 20 samples and reorganized them to create a new sound?

Played around recently with Digital Waveguide Meshes in gen~ to model membranes. Used 

There are a few examples in max for rectilinear Waveguide Mesh patches but from what I read so far, the "triangular" meshes offer some advantages in terms of dispersion.

This is a 3 nodes triangular Digital Waveguide Mesh examples (each node consist of 6 waveguides). Implemented a few other options like damping and nonlinearity.

Tell me if you're missing any abstraction of gendsp file but i think everything is in there !

I am new in the gen~ realm. I am creating a granular synth using gen~. But I want to be able to change de sample very easy. I thought the polybuffer~ object could help me with that, but I dont know how to reference the individual buffers inside the polybuffer~ object.

Hi all, looking for some honest feedback and help on creating a good Freezer/Sample sustainer in gen~. The RNBO pedals freezer is probably the perfect version, but I’m happy with a cheaper, gen~, near-equivalent. 

I’ve got it started, but wonder how much of the polyphony in RNBO’s version will be needed. I’m also getting tripped up on the toggle A/B recording to the [data] objects. 

The transient detector portion is primitive, I know. Hoping it’s enough for the purpose.

Hello! I've made a delay/looper patch that allows the user to change the step-size used by the counter object that drives  peek and poke operations such that alters the speed of playback as in the example found in the Gen tutorials. Poke's @interp settings ensures everything sounds good no matter the setting, however driving peek with non-integer values produces some really nasty aliasing.

Is there any way to perform interpolation when using non-integer values with counter that's driving peek? @interp is suspiciously absent from its attribute list.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks!

This seems to be a minor issue but it does bug me (pun intended, I'm sorry):

I've built a little GenDSP that calculates some steps with different signals from analog channels, that's why I've labeled / commented the inlets. 

However the comments only appear in the gen patch - not in the gen~ version... Why is that?
