Scriptnode Synth Crackling with Chords

@iamlamprey that flag is for the network, not the notes. It's just placed in a silly place, just like HasTail, SuspendOnSilence and AllowCompilation.

It's just placed in a silly place

It's not a silly place, it was born because people couldn't find it in the original location, hence I put it there additionally.

But yeah, sends / receives are currently not polyphonic, but I can look into making them polyphonic as there might be a few good use cases.

[aaronventure]

@Christoph-Hart hah I meant that the location and the lack of category labeling could lead people to think these are node flags, and not network flags.

I remember I thought so too, originally.

[Christoph Hart]

and the lack of category labeling

I actually thought they were per node :)

That would be awesome, thank you!

[tomekslesicki]

I definitely second that @Christoph-Hart !

[tomekslesicki]

Hey @Christoph-Hart I'm just quietly upvoting this, being able to send polyphonic stuff with the global sends would be huge for me. Thank you!

I'm making a fm matrix and i found i just ran into the same issue.
It'll be really helpful to have a poly global send/receive :)

[Christoph Hart]

global sends & receives will never be possible in a polyphonic context because the voice allocation system is not deterministic so you cannot expect that eg. voice number 13 is rendering the same note as voice number 13 of another sound generator - just add a script that adds an octave note on one of the sound generators (or even use an envelope with two different release times or sample lengths) and the voices will lose their index relation.

What might be possible at some point is to use the routing.send / routing.receive nodes WITHIN a polyphonic network to implement polyphonic feedback delay lines (for stuff like resonators etc).

@Christoph-Hart I'm hoping to use the Global Send and Receive nodes to pipe the main signal of my instrument around several Script FX modules for an FX re-ordering system. Any issue with this? I mean it seems to work fine in testing so far....

[Christoph Hart]

@DanH if your effects are not polyphonic then you don't have anything to be afraid of. Note that you'll introduce one buffer of latency whenever you send a signal "back" (=upwards). in the module tree though.

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart Thanks, should be ok then. Aware of the latency issue. What's a good method of checking my latency calculation is accurate?

[Christoph Hart]

@DanH there's a latency checker in the tools menu now.
