in the max world, i have a buffer with the name #1 so the name of the buffer changes to whatever the name of the abstraction is. (‘patch’ loop changes the buffer’s name to loop if i open that specific abstraction)

in gen, i have three operators with the names buffer #1, dim #1 and peek #1. its giving me an error in the console saying ` dim/peek • invalid constant ‘#1’, using 0 instead’

is there any way, to use the param operator (or whatever else works) to make gen also recognize #1 and change it corresponding due to the abstraction?

gencodebox-tutorial-for-beginners

Gen.codebox~ tutorial for beginners

Hello! I have been trying to learn Gen recently from the Generating Sound and Organizing Time book, and I have been trying to combine two of the patches together to create a patch where I can alter the sample playback by altering the phasors that control that sample's playback. I am trying to do this by using the phasor_beat_slicer.maxpat patch and the go.ramp_bursts_shaped abstraction. 

The issue I am having is that the signal chain that has the phasor to control the sample object is connected to the left inlet of the sample object, and is outputting a phasor signal to control playback, but for whatever reason, the sample object does not output sound, and I am not sure why Ive been trying to troubleshoot but Ive been coming up with nothing. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong so I can actually use these patches.

The patch is attached to this post if you're curious and wanna take a look.

So a little while ago i read something about using buffer~ to store a list and then reading it from inside gen~, and now im trying to find more information as to how i could implement this, my goal is to build a delay circuit whose time is changed every time the input passes a certain threshold, i made a list of the numbers i want to use as time but am unsure as how to proceed so as to be able to store the list in the buffer~ , and then everytime the audio input signal goes above a certain threshold a number from the list is chosen at random then this number is used as the value for the delay time.

I'm rather new to programming, and I've been testing out making an additive synth with codebox in gen~. To generate all of the partials, I figured it would be best to use a for loop to call a function for each partial at their respective frequencies and amplitudes. It sounds really crazy  when I do that, it seems like it gives me one sine wave at a really high frequency. 

When I call a function for each partial individually and add and assign at the output (like out += sine1, 2, 3...) it works fine.

the codebox in the parent patch is just a reference of a patch that uses a for loop to generate grains in a granular synth

In the following forum post, I found a Schroeder Reverb written completely in genExpr:

https://cycling74.com/forums/best-practices-converting-large-gen-patches-to-genexpr-codebox-code#reply-5fdd49a17fd00008d13ab203

and I saw that the allpass filters and comb filters are described in the following way:

	ap1 = allpass(sig, 0.7, 347 * size);
	ap2 = allpass(ap1, 0.7, 113 * size);
	ap3 = allpass(ap2, 0.7, 37  * size);

	fc1 = fbcomb(ap3, 0.773, 1687);
	fc2 = fbcomb(ap3, 0.802, 1601);
	fc3 = fbcomb(ap3, 0.753, 2053);
	fc4 = fbcomb(ap3, 0.733, 2251);

I see this kind of approach in all genExpr codes. But can't we write this something similar to this? (ignore vec since it doesn't work in gen dsp apparently, take it as a pseudo-code):

dtimes_AP = vec(347, 113, 37);
gains_Comb = vec(0.773, 0.802, 0.753, 0.733);
dtimes_Comb = vec(1687, 1601, 2053, 2251);
fc = vec();

for(i=0; i<=2; i+=1) {
	sig = allpass(sig, 0.7, dtimes_AP(i) * size);
}
	
for(i=0; i<=3; i+=1) {
	fc(i) = fbcomb(sig, gains_Comb(i), dtimes_Comb(i));
}

In addition,  array structures are not available on genExpr. Doesn't this create an extreme handicap, how do you all overcome this? 

Sidenote: I also would appreciate if anyone has an online resource for genExpr Syntax. The documentation doesn't seem to cover all the capabilities.
