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.

For anybody that has played around with it using hann windowing in an RNBO fft is quite difficult for a newbie. I have played around with all the available fft patches from cycling using hann windowing and none of them use any more than a dual overlap. If you play a regular audio file through these examples you get noticeable distortion no matter what you set your audio settings vector size to. If you use just a single fft process with hann windowing(and yes the windowing is also declared in my ~ifft)  the audio is unintelligible. I have used the given dual overlap fft~ 512 512 0 and fft~512 512 256 and it gets a little better. In the fft docs for RNBO it says you can abstract the process with more overlaps by changing the fft arguments, and yes my ifft~ is set correctly and taking in both outputs both real and imaginary from the fft. I just don’t know what arguments to give these further abstractions

I imagine with an overlap of 4 the audio might get better but being so new to this I don’t know what arguments to give anything I try sounds unintelligible like adding an fft~ 512 512 1289sounds horrible. As I said the dual hann is getting closer but riddled with distortion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to recreate the patcher below in RNBO. It's basically a drum sequencer with conditional triggering, but it uses polybuffer~ to trigger random sounds from a loaded folder of any length . I use this patch a lot, so it makes sense for me to try to send this one first to RNBO world, as I would love to have it in hardware version with Raspeberry Pi. I am a huge noob with RNBO.

I looked at the Exp Polyphony Drum Sampler here : 

https://rnbo.cycling74.com/explore/exp-polyphony-drum-sampler

 that does almost the same thing, but it seems to be setup for only six files and uses a polybuffer from the Max patcher which, if I'm not mistaking, will no be available once I export my patch to a VST or AU target for example. Is there a way to say to the export target : load a folder, and make a list with all the files paths in it, and then use those paths to dynamically change the buffers content ?

Also, I tried to export the Exp Polyphony Drum Sampler to AU in order to test it with Logic Pro but even if it's properly installed and recognized by Logic I cannot load it. Is this due to sample depencies ?

I’m trying to learn how to export an RNBO object as an AU MIDI effect to be used in Logic. I see two options for exporting to AU plugins: 1. Instrument, which shows up as an AU instrument in Logic, 2. effect which shows up as an audio effect. None of them show up as a midi effect. Is this not possible or am I missing something ? Thank you!

I want to make a microtonal quantizer that has per voice pitch bend out (via MPE), it is a part of a larger patch. I get it to retune notes monophonically, but I can't figure out how to make it polyphonic. I can't find much information about how to implement MPE midi out from RNBO. 

I have tried to add the @polyphony 8 attribute to my subpatcher "quant", but that does not work. Does anybody know how to make it work? I would really appreciate some help with this.

        I've recently become very interested in RNBO, especially its ability to directly compile into plugins such as VST3, as well as export C++ source code for custom UI using JUCE to create my own plugins. However, I've encountered some issues and would like to ask for advice:

I'm not sure this is possible but can you record 30 seconds of audio into a previously setup audio buffer and then save it as a specific filename for use later? A simple use case would be to take out the raspberry pi connected to a pisound or another interface along with a microphone and record little bursts of audio that you can manipulate in real time and then save either the processed results or the dry original buffer for use later on.

I have an early days patch where I'm recording in sounds and then manipulating them with a granulator and placing the resulting sound into a kind of generative soundscape where these sounds come back in at varying intervals along side the real mic feed. This is fun to play with but at the moment I have no way of saving any of these buffers. The only solution I have come up with is to split the microphone signal and record a completely separate dry feed for use later on.

I'm definitely more on the beginner side.

 tutorial to build a plugin with a customisable UI via CMake and JUCE. I have some prior undergrad experience with other languages but this has really stumped me and I have tried every solution that I was able to find on the internet (been on way too many forums). If anyone has any experience following this tutorial and/or has ran into this issue and solved it, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have installed all of the prerequisites and to my knowledge all should be working.

Im attempting to build on Mac M1 running Sonoma 14.4.1.
