There was a memory bug in diskgrain, but that was fixed (not sure
when now, but I think 5.10 is OK). Maybe the
version you are using still contains the bug. That could very well
be messing up things.

with PVSANAL and PVSADSYN. Today I replaced this combination with PITCHAMDF with output to an OSCIL.

Results: In both cases when diskgrain is not called (commented out) both pitchtracker combonations
produce the expected results.

When diskgrain is called with the pitch tracker combo is commented out, diskgrain works as expected.

In both cases, when a pitch tracker is active and diskgrain is called, the sound is severely distorted in the
manner similar to that produced sometimes by uncontrolled amplitude modulation, or when
two a-rate variables are multiplied together without regard to the consequences. There are thus huge
sample-out-of-range overruns.

I would be grateful if someone could attempt an csd. using one of these combinations of opcodes
to see if you get the same results.

Many thanks,
