fix_block - I can't understand it
-
I have read the documentation and read some posts in the forum but I am still not at all clear on how to use this node. Can I have some concrete examples?
I don't know if I'm doing this right but I have a multiband reverb that seems to work decently only if inserted into a fix_blockX set to its default value (64). -
As I understand it, the fix_block node allows you to force a specific block size for processing (e.g. 2, 4, 8, etc.). This can be useful for certain modulations, where a more regular update frequency improves rendering accuracy or stability.
For example, a fix8_block will divide the signal into blocks of 8 samples and execute the child modules at each block. In comparison, a frame_block performs the processing for each sample, i.e. 8 times more often in this example, which improves accuracy but greatly increases the CPU load.
I'm not sure if this is very clear but I hope it helps you understand.

For example, if you have a very fast LFO, using a frame_block is probably more interesting than a fix8_block to achieve more precise and smoother modulation.
