Re: Cross Fading problems

Hi Robert Pierzak,

Every time you write "Synth(..." you are creating a new instance of whatever synth you are calling.  Synth("whatever") is just shorthand for Synth.new("whatever"). (that info is in the help file)

The below code creates two synths, waits 0.03 seconds then creates two new synths, one with a gate of 1, the other a gate of 0.  Then, in the 7.do function, you create more new synths, and on and on.  

What you must do is a) read the SynthDef and Synth help files, and b) create a variable to reference the the synths by ( x = Synth.new(...  then x.set(\gate, 0) ) or create them explicitly using the server messaging syntax.

Make sense?

Cheers,

SP(e)



P.S. "there's a pattern for that."
