Feedback loops with gen~ and [history] - infinite recursion
Hi all,
I am playing around with feedback modulation synthesis and I am getting "MSP object inputs not satisfied, likely due to infinite recursion" despite I am passing the signal through gen~ and history operator.
A workaround is to use send~ and receive~ pair to delay the signal further, but I am wondering why I can't just simply do that with history?
The recursion has to begin and end inside the gen~ object. If you're trying to send a feedback loop outside of the gen~ object then it's expected behavior for Max to say "no."
Ah, is that it? Thanks!
just to add...
within gen~ you can work recursion sample-by-sample('history' is a mere 1-sample delay), outside of gen~ the recursion is dependent on vector-size, so it's not as easy to account for sample-by-sample:
^still possible to have some type of recursion travel out from gen~ and then feedback into gen~ if you use certain objects/techniques(depends on what you want to do with the recursion).
Thanks Alienz! And nice to see you back after so much time!
Yes, I knew that I can achieve that with the good ol' taping-tapout couple, but I was rather curious to explore the possibilities of 1-sample delay feedback loop for a feedback modulation.
And I missed that single fact which Stringtapper pointed out that this whole loop should happen inside gen, which now I did and all is good.
