I feel I miss someting foundamental in the modular working. It's all about cables and the data runnig inside them. 'Till now I've patched using common sense (and works quite well) but now I really like to better understand the following things to feel more "solid" when patching:

according to the mod3 manual, connection marked in red and green are for audio data. Connection marked in blue are for signal and frequence data. Both kind are computed using the max bandwidth to obtain the best possible audio quality. I've understood that for a "refresh" of 44100 times per second (for example the project is at 44100Hz) a value within the range 0-2^32 is given. (or is -2^16 +2^16? this is quite obscure for me)
Anyway, if that is correct, the "freq consant module" Image
and the "constant module" Image
are basically the same module with different curve responses for the slider and a different visualization of the parameter (Hz Vs integer). The manual tells that the audio and freq signals cannot be connected to one another. Why?

Another thing is: am I able to add or subtract frequences using the (audio) mix module? They have the red/green connection...
And if I want to add 1 Hz to an existent freq signal could I do it using the constant unipolar (and not the constant freq) or not?
Is that value something like
1 : 22050 = X : 127 ===> X = 127:22050 = 0,005759637?

The last question:
2^32 = 4294967296
What these monitor display?

seeing that the adern Val monitor could be used as precise constant, the famous 1Hz could be something like:
1 : 22050 = X : 4294967296 ===> X = 4294967296 : 22050 = 194783,0973? (obv if the project is at 44100Hz)

Thanks in advance :smile:
