 Tom Schouten | then later moved away from pd for more classical synth things that have to do with note management and polyphony, but i do think there are people that have solved these things using externals or patches | 20:51:35 |
 sjfloat | Yeah, there's some support for envelopes now; line or something like that, and a few variants. | 20:52:18 |
| sjfloat | They's probably serve me fine. But I still need to manage sustain. These facilities produce the entire envelope. You have to commit to a static sustain segment. It's not driven by controller events. | 20:54:03 |

| sjfloat | So what I want is an object that converts MIDI to CVgate | 20:55:28 |
| sjfloat | Well, not truly CVgate, but a normalized, software version of that. | 20:56:05 |
| sjfloat | This missing bit is the gate. | 20:56:31 |
| sjfloat | To generate that from MIDI, I need to detect zero velocity note events and then do the right thing, which can vary. | 20:57:24 |
| sjfloat | Then, I suppose, I want a poly version of that, which would behave a little differently. | 20:58:05 |
| sjfloat | I did initially try to solve this in a patch. I even pressed a stack from zexy into service. But this kind of state manipulation isn't really Pd's strength. | 21:01:46 |
| Tom Schouten | indeed | 21:03:09 |
| Tom Schouten | did you ask on the list? i would assume there is some code that does this kind of thing already... unless you want to do your own experimentation | 21:03:55 |
| sjfloat | A mailing list? | 21:04:12 |
| Tom Schouten | yes | 21:04:15 |
| sjfloat | I'm not on there. I guess I should be. | 21:04:25 |
| sjfloat | Is it on some listserver somewhere? | 21:04:39 |
