Maquette2sound for 4 channel sounds

Hi All,

I am trying to use a maquette for synthesizing several quadraphonic sounds in a final unique one.
I receive this error in the listener:

“Error : trying to sequence 2 sounds with different number of channels or different sample-rate. Output is input 1.”

I suppose that maquette2sound only works in mono sounds. Is it right? If yes, there is any way to use multichannel sounds?
I enclose a figure of the simple patch. Thank you in advance.

Ciao

Hello Fabio,

maquette2sound uses the standard OM sound-seq / sound-mix functions to combine the different sounds in the maquette into a single sounds.
These functions might have some restrictions, e.g. they expect to work with sounds of the same number of channels and/or the same sample-rate.

Dear Jean,

Thank you for reply. After reading your answer I think I have understood the core of the problem.
Cloning the maquette by using sound-silence, sound-seq and sound-mix object I initially received same error. Then I have discovered hidden options for sound-silence function, so I have specified a 4 channels sound-silence, and all works fine.

So I suppose that the problem in maquette and maquette2sound pair could be that maquette introduce a mono or stereo silence if I want the second sound beginning from a point different than zero, and maquette2sound gives an error.

Then my next question is: is there any way to specify a 4 channels setting in using the maquette and/or maquette2sound functions?

I enclose a screenshot for showing the different ways I have used: no sound after maquette and so on, a 4 channels sound in second process.

Thank you in advance for reply, ciao

Dear Jean,

A little update:

  1. I have realized I can also use omsheet for sequencing the 4 channels sounds, using the sheet patch for setting onsets, but I think without being able to export everything in a unique mix file.

  2. I have modified the mix suppatch (from OM-Chant tutorial if I remember good), for accepting 4 channels sounds, but without any visual feedback.

So if there is a 4 channels solution in maquette/maquette2sound combination it is welcome. It is no a urgent question, thank you for your usual kind disposability.

Ciao

Hi Fabio. I hope to post an OM update this week.
This fix will be included.
Jean

Hi Jean, Thank you very much. Will it run with whatever number of channels?

Best

Fabio

Yes, with still the constraint that all sounds in the maquette must have the same number of channels and sample-rate: this is for you to ensure before to call maquette2sound

btw I have just posted the OM 6.14 update:

Thank you Jean, very rapid!
I will install the update and test it.

Thank you again, ciao

Fabio

Hi Jean, it works perfectly (OsX 10.8.5, OM 6.14).
Thank you again, ciao

Fabio
