Hi!

I'm quite new to PD and simply played around a little bit when the following question crossed my mind:

I have an oscillator running at 100Hz and and array which is updated every 100ms. 100Hz means 100 oscillations per second, so one full oscillator swing (from 1 to 1) should last a hundreth of a second = 10ms.

So, if I'm not already wrong at his point, I am supposed to see ten full oscillator circles on the array, no?
What happens with me is that I see one full oscillation at 400Hz. I attached a screenshot of this situation.

What am I getting wrong?
Thanks for your help!

Howdy!

I built this kind of basic GEM patch where the pixels are compared to each other and triggered a synth with it (every time pix_blob is above 0.02). As I don't want to simply switch it off I made the following setup:

[bang]
|
[pack 0 200]
|
[line] [osc~ 400]
| |
[*~ ]

I hope that's understandable.
The terrible thing is, that every time the ramp falls down, it gives me awful tiny click noises. I think due to the fact, that the processed audio is operated on so often (line gives an ouput of x.xxx) in so little time. I attached a sound file to let you listen.

Is there any way more elegant than simply turning up the ramp time?
Thanks!

Hey super, thanks a lot!!!

Mhm, ok I think I understood, thanks.
As I mentioned before, I'm quite new to PD, so please if you could tell me where to find "oscil~"...? Slurs-crap? Where could that be?
I run PD extended 0.42.5 on a 64-bit Linux machine...

Yes, I figured out it has something to do with the "size" you can set in the properties menu. Can you maybe tell me the exact correlation of the parameters of an array, I couldn't really find this somewhere else.
But as I'm very much used to work with oscilloscopes I'm kind of confused by the array...

Thanks for any advice and information!
