Hello all,

I have a very simple question but I cannot figure out how to make it work.
Basically what I want to do can be thought of as a ball bouncing up and down.
First its bouncing high and takes a relatively long time to hit the ground again, after a few seconds it does not bounce as high but it hits the ground faster.
I think it is called the vibrato-effect in music terms?

However how can I create this vibrato-effect in combination with osc~ or phasor~ ?
The sound of the ball bouncing up and down is basically the effect that I am aiming for.

Please give me suggestions or maybe even post a quick example.
Kind regards,
Jelle

Vibrato usually refers to minute changes in pitch, which is usually achieved using something like osc~ at a frequency lower than 12Hz to modulate the pitch of another oscillator.
However I'm guessing you're looking to create an effect similar to

?
It can be achieved in a couple of different ways, but since you mention using phasor~ you could use a phasor object to control the rate of a metro object which is triggering the "ball" sound. I can post a quick example if you're stuck

Heres an example taking example in the Aphex twin song.
This one modulates amplitude, but you can easily change it to pitch.
Basically the LFO1 is changing the rate of the LFO2 which is modulating the amplitude.
Heres the patch: Ball

I was taking a trigger based approach, but is similar to yours, I'll attach for comparison. Shortening a loop length is another way to go about a similar effect

Actually makes me wonder. How do you detect the end of a cycle?
This in order to sync the end of the cycle of my LFO2 to the start of my LFO1

this is actually quite cool guys...thx for your help.
