<![CDATA[I get a total distorted sound when playing two subpatches with different blocksize]]>This is the scenario: I have a patch with some subpatches. I use a block size of [block~ 128] in one subpatch, but the default one in the rest. Then I do the following:

  • I play the sound processed in one subpatch with the default block size, it works correctly
  • I play the processed in one subpatch with the block size of 128, it works correctly
  • I play again the file with the default one, and it is totally distorted

Does any have any idea about this? Thank you in advance

But I can give you more details
I have several readsf~ (one in every subpatch), and all throw to the same dac~, but not at the same time. The dac~ is in the main patch.

"Don't try to throw~ and catch~ or send~ and receive~ between windows with different block sizes. The only re-blocking mechanisms which are well tested are inlet~ and outlet~."

Thanks for your answer. Actually I'm not using throw~ and catch~, I'm just using outlet~. I didn't explain it well..

Only [inlet]/[outlet] work with different block sizes than the default one.
@justAndrea I'm afraid hints are not enough, at least not for anything I can think of. You could share part of your patch. It will be just to give you some help.

Finally it was a problem in the external that I was writing, not in the patch itself. So...bad question!
