Grain cloud envelope

Hello,

I have been playing with the catart-mubu-poly example using MIRA, and it is extremely direct, reliable, fun and useful.

One modification I would like to make to the patch is to give the possibility of an ‘outer’ envelope - so that when changing the x/y position in beat/loop mode, the clouds fade between each other.

As far as I can tell, the mubu.concat~ attack and release apply to the individual segments in any given mode - I would like to be able to run my finger along the surface of the tablet and hear a release trail for that grain cloud, and to be able to set that release trail’s time.

I think that the way the example is set up, this won’t work easily, because the voice is defined ‘per finger’, and I would need an individual voice per x/y point, with an adsr~

Any misconceptions please correct, any help getting started appreciated!

Great idea! I think the way to go would be to have a poly voice being allocated on touch start (with a note message), and ended when the new voice envelope has finished fading out.
You’d need to record the touch id to voice assignment in some external coll or array. Just ask if you have more questions.
It would make for a great contributed example, if you care to share it.
