Hi,

I know so many of these posts start out like "I'm just starting and I don't know anything.." but I just started pd a few days ago and have virtually no programming experience, so sorry if this is ANNOYING.

For the past couple of days I've been trying to do something I thought would be real simple. I have a fiddle making sine waves with an [osc~], and (maybe since the amplitude range for fiddle is 80-120) the sound clicks when it starts and stops. I would like to make a slow fade in / fade out anyway so if the thing goes slightly under 80dB the sound doesn't just stop dead, ie so there's some buffer time. So I've tried the [line~], [ear~], [ASRenvelope], and some other objects, searched through this forum, but I can't get anything to do what I want. I thought this would be real simple since my sounds are generally real slow, and i just want the sine to come in and fade out in a slow laid back kind of way. What's (/ is there) a simple way to do this?

THANKS
Lewis

[line~]

will fade out to zero in 50ms

likewise

[line~]

will fade back in to 1 in 50ms.

multiplies your oscillator's amplitude (volume) by the line value

Thanks for the quick reply. Very clear. Now all I have to do is figure out how to define the attacks/releases as bang objects, I think that's what was ultimately blocking me. but I'll try to figure that one out on my own!

Thanks again,
Douche

here is something i worked on for a little bit just now
it used some of the same ideas from the tremolo patch i posted in the patch section

the left vslider is for the amplitude ad the right is for length which the top and bottom can be set to your needs
while the toggle box over the two spigot objects isn't active set the desired volume and length to get there
press the button at the very top of the patch over the trigger(bb) object and it goes into motion
and of course you could change the adc~ to whatever you needed

you probably figured it out already but i thought maybe it would help

EDIT
here is the tremolo patch i was working on and i put the fading patch i just put up here into that old patch
for instructions its posted on the patch section here as well but i thought this was of similar interest

Thanks Wednesday, but I can't open either of your zips cause it says it's corrupt.

hmm

maybe this will work

That's weird my computer still says the file's corrupt. Why do you have to compress the file before attaching it?

Lewis

im really sorry man
ill try it without compressing

Hey, I guess it didn't work cause i don't see no attachments.

for some reason every time i try to attach just the file it doesn't work it comes up with an error screen
but then if i turn around and compress it then it works just fine i would be more than happy to get it to you another way
and again im sorry its taken this long
email or like soundforge maybe?

PS
i just tried to post and this is the error i got

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: attach_find_extention() in /home/local/apache/htdocs/sites/h/hurleur.com/puredata/include/attach/attach_func.php on line 111

Most filetypes are allowed such as: txt doc pdf wav mp3 ogg avi mpg mpeg png jpg jpeg gif pd
A few like exe html etc are not permitted.

I don't know why you got a bad PhP response. Is everything working now?
