Re: [chuck-users] chuck neophyte trying to remove clicks via Envelope patch

      Hi Ryan:

Your code looks about right, but you may need to leave time for the  
envelope to ramp down as well as up.  Try these as the last lines of  
your while (true) loop:

   e.keyOn();
   1000::ms => now;
   e.keyOff();
   1000::ms => now;

or, to make the wait time equal to the ramp time:

   e.keyOn();
   e.time()::second => now;
   e.keyOff();
   e.time()::second => now;

No, I haven't tried it.  Let me know...

Hello chucKsters,
I am trying to write a simple program that reassigns four sine  
oscillator's pitch and volume at each iteration through a  
while(true) loop.
I decided i didn't want the clicks at the beginning of each note  
attack, so I thought that I could remove them by just adding an  
envelope
to ramp up to the gain value for each event. After trying different  
values for the Envelope time and rate, I can't seem to figure out
how to remove the clicks. I apologize as this is probably something  
obvious that I am blind to in my myopic state. My intuition is
that if I increased the rate of the envelope the ramp up to 1 would  
be smoother and then my speakers wouldn't click. However I am
unsure how to adjust the rate as I don't know what range it would be  
in.
Sorry for my n00bishness
Ryan.
SinOsc s1 => Envelope e=> dac;
SinOsc s2 => e => dac;
SinOsc s3 => e=> dac;
SinOsc s4 => e=> dac;
//....
while( true )
 {
  .1 => float t =>e.time;
//reassign gain
Std.rand2f(0,1) => float g;
  g => s1.gain;
  g => s2.gain;
  g => s3.gain;
  g => s4.gain;
//reassign pitch
Std.mtof(instrumentSet1[Std.rand2(0,6)]) => s1.freq;
  Std.mtof(instrumentSet1[Std.rand2(0,6)]) => s2.freq;
  Std.mtof(instrumentSet1[Std.rand2(0,6)]) => s3.freq;
  Std.mtof(instrumentSet1[Std.rand2(0,6)]) => s4.freq;
//Advance time by 1 samp
  e.keyOn();
  1000::ms => now;
  e.keyOff();
}
