Possibe Issue with Decay parameter values #1

Open dsimak opened 11 years ago

dsimak commented 11 years ago

Hello, I'm using nekobee with Carla host contrilling it with OSC. It seems that the DECAY parameter values are wierd, because the lower value is 9e-06 but it points to a high DECAY position in the knob and the max value is 0.005 but it points to a zero value in the knob.

Thank you very much. Diego

Hi Diego, Man, I'm surprised anyone is still using nekobee, but I'm glad to hear it.

Yes, the decay control works backwards. I never got around to fixing it before I stopped using computers for music. If you want to have a crack at it yourself, it's because to get the logarithmic response you have to solve a quadratic equation. It's stupid and a horrible limitation of DSSI which has been carried over into the hideously broken LV2 spec. There's no way to signal which sign you should be solving for, so that one ends up backwards.

I'm sorry to say I've pretty much abandoned the nekosynth projects, because I just don't use PCs for anything other than email, facebook and occasionally editing samples.

Thank you very much for your response! Nekobee it's an excellent tb303 emulation using just DSSI (i've used some VST emulation but are bad)

Thanks for your explanation, my coding expertise is low but I will try to bite the cake!

Thanks again for this beautiful peace of software. Diego
