I am experiencing this strange issue. I have a Gen in a bpatcher that prevents a Gen~ to work. The Gen~ is taken from the examples (Squinewave) and the Gen in bpatcher is a simple gcd calculator. I don't see the point in a possible conflict, but I am a newbie in Gen stuff. What's wrong with my code?

I easily solved the problem using a JS instread of Gen, but still I wonder why the conflict

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.

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.

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!

i want to buil a FIR filter with Gen~ in an RNBO patch based on a buffer with the IR in the RNBO patch and a codebox in Gen~ object. I have no error or issue in the Gen~ compilator with my code but the compilator returne this code :

so my code is not compiled by the Gen~ object... :( and no error to check ! but no sound is going out of the RNBO patch.

If anybody want to help i will appreciate :) !

The IR is a lowpass filter at 125Hz / 24 dB oct
