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.

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.

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.

I'm using the following to find the phase in radians of a sinewave ( but it realy can be anything ) to implement a phase shifting on a signal. 

[ hilbert~ ] (r, i)-> [ expr~ atan2(r, i) + pi ]

At lower frequencies this gives visible phase wrapping in a scope.

However these become very minor the higher the frequency gets.

Visually and by ear ( on a tone ) it seems like it's not worth to spend CPU on unwrapping the phase as RNBO's as the hilbert and atan2 functions seem to be tweaked to work well in the audible spectrum, but is this the case, or is unwrapping advisable ?

I know I'm able to communicate with my instance on the Raspberry Pi: I can send a parameter to the synth at rnboplay.local:1234 with something like:

and see the slider change in the web interface, and hear the result.

However, when I try to add a listener with 

I would expect parameter data coming out of [udpreceive 8003] when I make changes in the web interface on the instance or when I send a parameter over osc as above.  

Additionally, using the above "add" commands, I'd expect changes in the JSON when I load the URL rnboplay.local:5678/rnbo/listeners/entries but it remains the same before I added any entries.  Similarly, the osc command "/rnbo/listeners/entries" doesn't return any data. 

Any help would be appreciated. It just seems like the listeners aren't working.

I'm running into an issue where it seems both [noise~] and a [gen~] patcher with noise going to out1 both do not produce sound when using Web Export. In my case I've created a very simple synthesizer. It takes in a frequency and a "type" (ie the wave). All other wave types work for example [cycle~] and [tri~] but when I attempt to switch my selector to the noise it goes silent. Oddly my browser still detects audio as playing and I hear a click which leads me to believe its outputting a constant value but I cannot record my desktop audio to confirm this at the moment.

Below is an image of the various setups I attempted. Anyone know whats going on here or maybe some workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Note: All versions of this patch function properly inside of Max when tested and only fail upon Web Export.

I'm curious about parameter value smoothing in RNBO. I currently have a rampsmooth~ after every param, as they are largely fed by MIDI, and even mouse interaction can be kind of janky with the parameters with large value spreads. 

It's more of a security blanket though - I'm not sure when it really necessary to smooth a param output or not. I'd rather not find out on a case by case basis since I have 30+ parameters! If smoothing is usually needed on param output to avoid zippers, would it make sense to incorporate an

I'm trying to make a real-time phase vocoder in RNBO like the ones in 

. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I want to share what I have so far and get all the feedback I can.

The first example patch from the tutorial 

 ports with some modifications to compensate for RNBO's lack of framedelta~ and frameaccum~, pictured below:

Note that this is a crude workaround. While it can resynthesize the original signal as cleanly as the tutorial patches, it produces unexpected pitch/formant/phase artifacts when timestretched even a little bit , and these artifacts are notably stronger than those in the tutorial.  I assume they stem from my framedelta~ and frameaccum~ workarounds. I tinkered with this patch for a while to no avail and eventually decided to try the same thing without polar coordinates. 

The tutorial's cartesian PVOC example uses some pink send~ and receive~ pairs in what 

 an infinite loop outside the pfft~ setting:

Sure enough, attempting this scheme in RNBO wouldn't compile at first because of the infinite loop. It managed to compile with a feedback~ thrown in, but the resulting patch only produced harsh clipping. Delaying the feedback loop by fftsize or hopsize created the same clipping, which persisted even with the feedback multiplied by decimals in the 0.1 - 0.4 range.
