TTEM's Example 3.16

(We now resume this blog, after a few days out with a cold.)

This morning, I got example 3.16 (from TTEM) wired up and working. (I believe the examples from TTEM and the PD examples (i.e. that ship with the program) are one and the same, so I wouldn't have had to wire it up myself, except I wanted to get my hands dirty putting something together.)

The first thing I noticed was how nicely expressive it is, compared to my beginner's "notein->mtof->osc~" patch I had been using. 3.16 gives a little buzz at higher key velocities, has a similar volume at the higher pitches as it does at the lower, and fades quite satisfyingly when you lift the key.

Now I just need to go through the text and understand better how it works. I get most of the top two-thirds, but get a little fuzzy below the phasor~, with all the *~'s and the cos~'s and all. Sounds like my next mini-task, (before I figure out how to wire 3.16 up for polyphony).
