QAR Accents & Initialize #82

Open midiguru23 opened 3 years ago

midiguru23 commented 3 years ago

Here's a video that shows a couple of things. First, the initialize routine is incomplete. Notice that after Initialize, the Beats knob says 2 but no beats are displayed in the circle. Also, there's a holdover in the Accents parameter. When I've created a beat pattern, I dial up 3 accents, but there's only 1. Evidently a -2 value is still stashed in the Accents parameter area of the code.

Next, when I turn up Pad, the accents go a little crazy. The Accent output jack is going to the left of the two FM-Ops, triggering its envelope, so that the accents are heard separately from the main notes being produced by the Beat output jack. There are lots of accents -- and when I turn the accent knob back to zero, the accents are no longer visible, but they're still playing. They stop when Pad is set back to zero.

I'll keep poking at this and see what else I can come up with. It's a great (and ambitious!) module, so it's not surprising if the code has a loose end here or there. I've never written any DSP code, but I've written quite a few text adventure games, so I've seen my share of bugs from the other side of the workbench!
