Creative Computing 2 Week 1 – Music and Sound Processing 2

Djd-volumesmoother:

The Volume smoother was a straight forward exercise to a degree. I feel that it could be smoother in its transient cutting action but have exhausted all of my ideas to rectify this. I had copied down the exact pattern of objects disclosed in Thursday’s lecture, so I’m not sure why it doesn’t run perfectly smoothly. All will be revealed in time I’m sure.

I have discovered some inconsistencies with the Max file preference system across both platforms. It seems that a chosen pathway for .help files will not always be seamlessly accessed by Max upon option/alt clicking an object. I am yet to find a universal solution to this. I decided to go with a L+R pair of inputs for the on/off toggle, leaving it up to the user if they want independent channel control.

Djd-amplitude-enveloper:

I was thankful to have gone through tutorial no. 2 before getting stuck into this one. The tricky part was the information list to be sent to line~ for producing the envelope. In a rare moment of programming success, I actually got it to work first time – even with the user specified argument in the correct position (I think).

So there you have it. Not the most exciting instrument in the world, but I did get some joy out of listening to some low frequency amplitude modulation…
