Is there a way to fill an array of 100 with a readout of an envelope but the envelope can be any duration?

Forgive me if I'm going about this completely the wrong way, but I would like to have a read out that can work for an envelope of any duration (from 10 ms-10sec)

I attached what I was working on.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey all, I'm pretty new to PD, and been trying to absorb what I can in the last few weeks. I went through the trouble of making a customized ADSR generator to control oscillations which was pretty cool. (Then I ended up finding [breakpoint] after three days of trying to grasp it and felt like an idiot)

I am trying to make a sound like someone whispering "pssst", and I've hit a dead end. I've tried using my ADSR envelope to control the pitch of noise using a band pass filter but the values end up really low and I get a loud POP every time I bang a play.

What is the best way to go about this?

Hey Maelstrom, I'm using $0 on a lot of my objects in my patch and I got save.me and my.hero to work, but when I load a file, it loads with the old number from $0. I just go in and do a search an replace in the text file, but I was wondering if it's something you've already addressed or should I not be using $0s so often?

Thanks!

This could be what I'm looking for but [../init/df] isn't working. How do those [..] objects work?

I found that if I prepend an object with it's library name, it works. I had a similar problem with [breakpoints~] not working.

So it would then be [tof/breakpoints~] and BOOM it works.

Hope this helps.

I know this is an old topic, but obiwannabe, what are some beginners mistakes? (or a place to find this info?)

Thanks!

PS Your tutorials are indeed amazing!

Ah that's even better! Thanks!

Ahh thanks! [vcf~] works perfectly! Why does it work better than [bp~]?

A combination of http://puredata.info/docs/tutorials/HowToTurnOffResumeWindowsForPDOnMacOSX107Lion

and understanding libraries a little more fixed this problem for me.

Loading objects or abstractions using namespaces

While this method means a little more typing, it is also the safest, and it makes it easier to find out what objects are from which library. The way you do it is add the library name (i.e. the namespace) to the beginning of the object when you call it, like this:

[zexy/multiplex~] <-- load the [multiplex~] object from zexy
[cyclone/comb~] <-- load [comb~] from cyclone

You don't have to load the library with [import] or [declare] for this to work. You just call the object that way.

OMG, thank you so much this fixed all my damn errors!

@Maelstorm said:

That message means those libraries are in fact loaded. It's a good thing.

Should those messages appear every time? I'm having trouble with libraries not loading and getting the infamous "...couldn't create" error.

Thanks!

EDIT: Ah, with the [lib/obj] convention, I was able to get the correct object to load correctly.

Hey Maelstrom, do you have a complicated patch that use this with? I'm just curious at organizing the layout of the patch while including these new objects that have to go everywhere.

Thanks for this, these are amazing!

I just posted. I think I'm having the same problem like Jamestocher. This is frustrating, as I just started getting the hang of this.

Ah I figured it out with [spigot~]

Hey this is awesome, I still have to get used to using signals to do my work for me!

How would you go about turning this on or off if you are using it to count?
