I could use a little help integrating either grooveduck or zero crossing faders into the phasor-based sample slicer in gen~. Ideally only a slight delay would be introduced to smooth out amplitude discontinuities. I'm much more comfortable programming in Max but I'm having a hard time with learning gen. I've been working at this for a long time but I'm hoping someone here has the knowledge and skill to do this in a few minutes.

Currently, composing gen~ algorithms from reusable abstractions requires working at the visual patcher level. It would be very useful to be able to invoke a gen abstraction as a function call from within a GenExpr.

 (which loads a .gendsp abstraction) and 

 (which drives named parameters inside a subpatcher) are both exclusively visual objects. There is no equivalent within GenExpr codebox code. The only related construct in GenExpr is 

 (capital P), which declares an externally-drivable parameter, but requires passing params via 

This means that if you're authoring a complex algorithm inside a codebox, you cannot call out to an abstraction. You have to either inline everything, or split your design across mixed codebox/visual-patcher layers, which can get unwieldy.

Something along the lines of this would be cool, no need for complex import statements:

out1, out2 = gen("example.filter", in1, freq: cutoff, q: resonance);

This would allow building modular, composable DSP algorithms entirely within the codebox authoring context, treating abstractions as first-class callable units rather than requiring a context switch to visual patching just to wire in a subpatcher.

Hej Gen~ maxers. I am trying to figure out this schematic and how to translate it into gen~objects. I have prior experience with building a biquad filter, compressor and a reverb.

The schematic that I am using is figure 3 from this research paper (

http://dafx13.nuim.ie/papers/44.dafx2013_submission_56.pdf

) on making a digital model of the buchla lowpass-gate. The paper has links to the patch that was made for the research paper however every time I try to assemble and run all of the max, poly~ and gen~ code it crashes, but there is a link here if this is helpful;

http://research.spa.aalto.fi/publications/papers/dafx13-lpg/?fbclid=IwAR2GMveRxqI65fJ009-BNA-WTLq2j1yickvBF5JwqwfYzYQsT23bl3zuCfA

So far I have managed to model something up that resembles the figur 3, however I ran into problems while I was making the model. (I probably want to do something which is not permitted in this type of domain but I don't know I am still just trying to wrap my head around gen~) My problem is that the feedback elements (a2, b2, b3, d1 & d2) cannot connect with my [integral] or [d/dt] nested gen objects in the gen~ patcher.

I have tried to compensate for this by adding the history object so that there will be -1 sample delay that allows the feedback to happen, but of course this does not work!

- I don't know why I can't connect these feedbacks with the [integral] or [d/dt], what is the reason behind this?

- Is it possible to run the code that was used for the paper without having it crash all of the time?

Noticed this odd behaviour: when copying contents of a buffer to another buffer, dimensions of the original buffer inside a gen~ object momentarily drop to 1. Maybe this is a bug?

Here's a patcher that shows this behaviour:

I would like to recreate "Kilohearts Compactor" for my patches.

Everything is pretty straight forward but i'm stuck with the look-ahead attack part.

I tried to delay the dry signal while adjusting delay for the attack (fade-in) portion of the side-chain, 

but i can't find a good solution to fade-in the envelope; for exemple "Slide" attack don't respond to super short transient, like clicks.

I've been working on this sequencer in mc.gen~ based on some techniques from GO. Right now, I have 3 channels running a euclidean algorithm which I expanded to include some probability and ratcheting stuff. 

I have a recurring issue which I have spent weeks trying to resolve: If I change the parameters for all 3 voices to play different rhythms, then shift back to a unison rhythm for all 3 voices, channel 1 is almost always out of phase with the other two. Channels 2 and 3 occasionally drift as well, but less consistently. 

Can anyone more experienced help me to understand why this might be happening? I even rebuilt the phasor clock in the gen~ patch, but nothing seems to change the fact that my voices are not in phase with one another. Perhaps I'm overlooking something simple, but I'm really stuck here.

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?
