how to create a bypass button

djmicron · Post by **djmicron** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 3:25 pm

Hi there,
i'm making a new patch and i'd like to have a bypass button for disabling a filter and keeping the audio signal clean.
I know that i can use the switches, but a button such as the "on off" module could be more fast to use.
Thanks in advance for help

i've found a way of making the on/off switch module a bypass module.

I've connected a constant value module to on/off switch input, the on off switch output to amplitude modulator, the amplitudemodulator output to x fade modulator.
Here the modular patch:

You can make it a bit lighter:
Constant--->On Off--->Unipolar to Bipolar---->Pan Modulator or Xfade Modulator(if you want to select output or input)

It seems the simplest way to go would be to use a 4x1 switch (you really only need 2x1). What's wrong with that?

I imagine that when you have all the cables hidden is nicer to have just two options if you don't need four, also if you want to use a controller for that switch is much easier to have just a min-max configuration. Naturally I usually end with using the switches with a label module, sometimes real estate in a patch is a precious thing.

Here, I just put together quickly a 2x1 switch you can use as a bypass:

Hope it works for what you need...

yes,
it's exactly what i've in mind, a button instead of the switch.
Thank You

I just posted 3 other variations for this bypass switch, in the Modular Patches and Devices area:

http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... t=0#135034

There's 2x1 bypass and momentary bypass, and 1x2 bypass and momentary bypass

Hope you can use these.

I've had some requests for other basic higher level modules groups - maybe I'll make up a small set of modules for use, if it's worth the time. I'd be curious what modules people would like to see that use the basic set. (For example, I've a request for stereo versions of the filters, etc., and a single module that houses a bank of LFOs, etc.).

Sorry I can't do anything with the Flexor stuff.

cheers,
john b.

Hi John, is possible to make a wavetable oscillator where the user can load every wave of the table from the sample pool?

Lima,
the sample oscillator should be what you need.

Hi Micron, other wavetable oscillators, (waldorf osc for example) permit to cicle between the waveform of the table. So you have to load several waveform in the same osc to do this. As far as I know the sample osc permits to load only one sample. the alternative is to make a patch with several sample osc and cicle thru them using an automated mixer (for example). That's not impossible but wastes a lot of dsp, so it isn't the right way.

Or maybe exists a smarter way?

you're right Lima,
i did not understand your previous post

No, we 3rd parties have no access to the wavetable oscillator. One would have to create a new osc, which requires the special SDK for DSP developement, and coding skills.

Ahhh, what a pity!!!

Thanks anyway!
