Just wanted to say this website is a godsend. Found it a few weeks ago after a long time of scouring YouTube for PureData tutorials. All my specific questions about technical difficulties have been answered, and so many people here are PD experts. Hope to stay on this site for a long time!
Peace and Love

@whale-av Woah, this is certainly it! Had no idea about the cyclone library, thanks.

Realizing now this is not an oscilliscope. Not sure what it is

I saw an oscilliscope in this video that looked amazing:

@jameslo @whale-av Thank you! I figured out they were both FM, except in the second one the carrier frequency is actually another modulation amplitude, and the real carrier frequency is 0hz. At least I'm pretty sure that's what it is. And thanks for the visual representation, although when I plug this into dac~ it sounds likes two oscillators just on top of each other.

Hey all, recently i started trying to learn how to do FM synthesis in Pure Data. The first example I came across using the +~ operator made perfect sense to me. Here's the patch:

However, when I change the +~ operator to the *~ operator, it still sounds like FM synthesis. And moving the modulation frequency and amplitude even sounds like it's doing what they're supposed to. The main difference is that moving the carrier frequency seems to also act like the modulation amplitude. So my question is, in this second example. How are these operators working differently? Why do they both sound like FM instead of the *~ one sounding like AM?

Thanks !

@emviveros amazing. Thank you so much for the info

Hello, all. I'm very new to processing but recently got into it and it's been amazing so far. I also find it amazing how many replies there are on here. You're all awesome. I made a patch using the abl_link~ library to sync the tempo with Ableton. It's awesome to be able to send midi signals but I'm hoping I can go a little further with Pd. Now I'm wondering how I can send midi signals in the form of effect automation. I figured this must be possible since effects can be mapped to midi controllers.
Btw here's a song I made with my first patch (mix of my patch and Ableton):
