Hi helpful forum! Ok, so I have been playing with the FFTease suite, and all the included help files seem to work perfectly..

With the exception of "pvgrain~"

as soon as I turn on the dsp i get: signal outlet connect to nonsignal inlet(ignored)

when I turn on the 'pd resynth engine" i get : impulse~ no method for bang (infinitely down the window it seems)

I am trying to figure it out myself, however, as it's prepackaged and all the other help files work perfectly, maybe there is something i am overlooking.

I am on windows 8 and using pd ext 43.4

Thanks in advance for any clues!!

Thank you! do you know where I might find this object?...I've done a few searches to no avail. It may be that I need to refine my search skills...

@lovelovevideo I had a quick look at fftease, and it's missing. Its name suggests that you could make a little abstraction with that name....... put tabplay~ inside it, and play the piano sample with that. I have to go out now....... but could look at it later today........

Ok thanks!! I appreciate it! I'll have a go at it.....if you are so inclined when you get back that would be cool too! Thxx for your helpfulness!!

@lovelovevideo I made a first attempt at [player~]...........
player~.pd
as you say, it is nowhere to be found in this universe...
"Just" dump it in the fftease folder.
It "sort of" responds correctly to the controls of [pvgrain~] being sent from within [pd messages].
The problem with [impulse~] is that it is incorrectly used, and gives no clues about the data that it should be passing. The input to [pd choir] is "amplitude" "frequency". So far I cannot see how [impulse~] is relevant for processing "amplitude" and passing the message to [player~]
I will sleep on it............ and maybe someone else will see the solution.
It is very strange that no one has complained previously!
I have not connected the left inlet yet........ as I don't know what it should be "doing"......
David.

@whale-av You are a legend! Cheers...ill keep looking into it myself...

Well, maybe the FFtease suite is a bit obscure? who knows...however, granular synthesis is quite popular among folks like us so...

@lovelovevideo Obviously [impulse~] should not be being sent a bang....... so maybe there should be a message like [50( before the left inlet so that it sends a string of impulses.......
Then [player~] could use that to modulate the volumes of the [player~] modules, and maybe repeat::::launch the samples at about 50 times a second, but (time) varied by multiplying that "50" by the "amplitude" float?......... that suggests that it should be a higher value...... sleep......sleep!
David.

@whale-av Cheers again....ok so the problem I am encountering now is that [impulse~] is used in 8 instances of[pd playit], which was purpose built for this patch....meaning that in order to determine if my changes are effective or not, I would have to manually edit each instance(as there exists no such object in pure data)....I tried editing and saving a version in the FFtease folder to see if it would effect changes in the rest to no avail. Maybe there's an easier way I am missing.

@lovelovevideo Put this one in the fftease folder.......
playit.pd
and then in the [pd choir] subfolder change each [pd playit] to [playit] by deleting the "p d space" from each object.
The patch I have posted is an exact copy (copy/paste) of the contents of [pd playit]
[playit] will then be an abstraction....... so if you open one, edit it, and save it they will all be up-dated (all the same).......... that will make the trial and error editing easier..........
Then you just have to change [player~] and [playit] and get what you want......... "just"?.........

So........ in case you didn't know....... [pd playit] and any object [pd something] is just a sub-folder and completely individual........ but............
[playit] only exists once......... and every time it is "put" by putting the object [playit] it is "called" in the same way as if you put [osc~}......... (nearly.. but that is for another day!).........
David.

@whale-av THANKSSS... I wasn't aware...

Ok, so I have put a 50 message before the left inlet of the [impulse~] object, now I don´t get any error messages....however, I wasn´t quite about how to go about multiplying that "50 by the "amplitude" float?

I tried a regular multiplication object, however, that didn't seem to do much so i removed it...playit.pd is what i have so far...

The patch, from a technical perspective, works perfectly now...thanks to your help, however, as I havent been able to follow the rest of your advice, it doesn't sound quite right..

Also, I wanted to modify the patch to use live input( from the [adc~ object])instead of samples...however, as the patch is based on sample players maybe its not practical?
