Arpeggiator playing louder

midi

#1

My patch is a polyphonic, monotimbral sample. I recently added @cpwitz 's arpeggiator.
I have a weird behavior with it. I must be doing something wrong.
When I switch from midi keyboard input to arpeggiator I get a boost up in volume and the sound is like overdriven.
here is my patch.

you just need to put samples in the sdcard named fileXXX.raw in a folder that you need to name samples

the setting of the patch are the following


#2

Using a poly subpatch like in your patch, with the arp connected to inlets for gate/pitch, will always trigger all 8 poly-voices at the same time.
I'd propose to use a a midi/out/note object instead, set to device "internal port 1". Then the notes are distributed through the poly note-cycling algorithm.


#3

thanks, if I understand I need to set it like this in the main patch, right?

but what is the poly note-cycling algorithm?


#4

A poly voice distributes each incoming midi note to the next of the (in your case) 8 voices. I think, Axoloti uses a simple round-robin method, always using the next voice and starting again with 1 after the 8th. But I may be wrong about this. There are more sophisticated voice distribution methods, like re-using the oldest played note or even considering the output/env level.


#5

the problem I have is that I still get the normal playing at the same time, I don't know how to get it to switch between the two. Do you know how I could handle this?

#6

Make your poly voice only listening to midi device "internal", not "omni" (which actually means "all"). To make it switchable between played notes directly or arpeggiated use something like this:

That's just a draft, I haven't tested it. But you get the idea, right?


#7

ah yeah and then I can pass the USB midi to internal two! thanks a lot :slight_smile:


#8

it unfortunately breaks the normal playback. it plays at a higher pitch and arpeggio only plays half a mesure. :frowning:

back on my patch, I'm having hard times with the midi clock for the arpegiator, it sometimes avec a while drifts from the clock itself, I have to restart the master clock coming from a midipal.
here is my last version.
is there a way to reset the clock with a counter like I tried or a simpler and more stable way to do clock division?
