I'm working with list.store to capture and store float values. I have discovered that it does not remember any of the lists stored if I close the patch. What would be the best way to store a list of values inside a RNBO patch that can be recalled? Similar say to the embed option using coll or something similar. If not list.store is there another option? Thank you

Im using Splat~ with @overdubmode accum. If i record at standard speed it all works well, but if i record at lower speed so the interpolation kicks in, then the overdubbed sound gets louder. The slower it records, the louder and glitchier it gets. 

Also, Im using the trick from the iPoke documentation of connecting a signal from the patcher playing back the sound to the poker, to force it to play before recording. Seems a bit dodgy though so would love to know if there's a better solution.

splat-overdub-gets-louder-when-interpolating

I think this may be expected behaviour?  If you slow the write speed down, then you are effectively pouring more samples into an equivalent space of the buffer.  Imagine you are icing a cake: the slower you move the icing tip, the thicker the icing will be, because more of it accumulates on top of each other. 

If it helps: The splat~ op in gen basically just spreads the input sample value between the two nearest sample slots in a buffer, with a linear mix between them, and the overdubmode=accum means that it adds to the existing data in the buffer.  

If you wanted to counteract this and balance the amount regardless of the speed, you'd need to attenuate the signal before it goes into splat~, with some factor that inversely proportional on the write speed.  

Thats what i thought was going on behind the scenes too, but it doesn't seem like the most intuitive behaviour or something I'd do on purpose, more like an oversight. 

I implemented this in the example, and it does indeed seem to work as expected when overdubbing. If this is the intended functionality, why is it only happening when overdubbing, and not when replacing? If overdub is zero, it's recording at normal volume, so to get the "expected" behaviour i need to interpolate between 1 and the speed-compensated gain. (second example).

Another confusing behaviour is that if record with overdub 0.  (replacing) at low speed, then jump to a higher speed, the old audio stays. Again the behind the scenes explanation makes sense, it's just skipping samples, but since it's supposed to be "interpolated overdubbing", this is not what i would expect.

Hi there, we struggled to understand how we can use @args in subpatcher (and abstraction especially)

Symbols not allowed in RNBO, so using #1 etc in a message can't be done.

How can we retrieve args inside a patcher ?

I am interested in trying to make a spectral freeze in RNBO to use with a Raspberry Pi w/ Pisound. I would like to be able to record a short buffer of the spectral information and be able to scan through it manually.

I have to be honest, I am not so fluent in FFT patching so apologies in advance for any glaring mistakes.

Sometimes my RNBO export bar goes blank - I can't seem to figure out any sort of reproducible pattern to it.

The problem seems to fix itself when I restart Max - and the same patch that wasn't showing an export bar before starts to work.

Hi, I wanted to point out a potential issue exporting RNBO patchers containing Granulator~.   During the build process (Xcode) I get:

Non-void function does not return a value in all control paths

It's a factory function using a classname if that helps, and other factory functions not containing granulator seem to be fine.   The function in question involves @interp and the conditionals for specifying a mode.  By adding a default to the end (either 0 or one of the conditional interp functions), the issue can be resolved and the code builds. 

Here is the code with a manual patch at the very end.

template <typename T> inline SampleValue bufferreadsample(
    T& buffer,
    const SampleValue sampleIndex,
    const Index channel,
    const SampleIndex start,
    const SampleIndex end,
    const int interp
) {
    if (sampleIndex < 0.0) {
        return 0.0;
    }

    SampleIndex truncIndex = (SampleIndex)(trunc(sampleIndex));

    if (interp == 5) {
        return buffer->getSample(channel, truncIndex);
    } else {
        number frac = sampleIndex - truncIndex;
        number wrap = end - 1;

        if (interp == 0) {
            SampleIndex index1 = (SampleIndex)(truncIndex);

            if (index1 < 0)
                index1 = wrap;

            SampleIndex index2 = (SampleIndex)(index1 + 1);

            if (index2 > wrap)
                index2 = start;

            return this->linearinterp(
                frac,
                buffer->getSample(channel, index1),
                buffer->getSample(channel, index2)
            );
        } else if (interp == 1) {
            SampleIndex index1 = (SampleIndex)(truncIndex - 1);

Built a RNBO patch that uses params for key attributes.  The params all use @enum, @displayname and @displayorder (as in [param noteoff_all @enum Channel Omni @displayname "Note Off Destination" @displayorder 14]).

If I build the RNBO patch into a plugin, the parameters appear properly in the DAW with the labels as defined by @displayname ("Note Off Destination").  This is good.

However, if I build the RNBO patch into a Max External, the displayname/label does not appear in the external object's inspector nor in the attrui, only the name ("noteoff_all").

This is also the case for the Max patcher that encloses my [rnbo~] object: it does not display the displayname/label in the rnbo~ object inspector or in the attrui.  In the inspector, the parameter names appear in italics and say "No reference description available".

Am I missing something obvious?  Why are the label/displaynames only visible in the plugin build but not in Max Externals or in the enclosing Max patcher?
