What are Modalys output samples?

Modalys beta
#1

Hi there!

I was wondering what does the Modalys output samples represent?

I have always thought that it was the speed of the access given to the point-output (so says the manual).
However as you can see from the adjoint patch something more is taken place. Either some scaled speed value or a different kind of value.
Can anyone clarify what are the exact types of values output from Modalys and how are they obtained?

Maybe this question suggest that a get-info value on the final make-point-output would be useful.
For scenarios where you want to check the output before values sending them to max.

Yes, it is the speed in both cases.

Based on your example, I will definitely investigate why there is such a difference in gain!

Thanks,

Hi Robert!

Is there any news on this issue?

Here’s another even simpler patch - without any access-controller - but still showing the samme difference.
The two make-point-outputs are receiving the same access from the harmonic-oscillator so why do they produce a difference?

Have look at the attached patch. I very much hope you can solve this weird behaviour.

Hi Again!

Here’s another oddity!

In this patch a harmonic oscillator and a mono-two-mass is setup in parallel to behave identical.
With the right setting they produce the same pitch but mono-two-mass has a strong low frequency component.
See the attached patch.

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature?
