[chuck-users] Matrix of Impulse Generators

[Stefan Blixt]

I sometimes get this wrong, but I think that this line:

SinOsc s => ADSR e => dac;

will make new connections between s, e and dac each time it's run in the
while loop - possibly creating new instances of SinOsc and ADSR each time.
Since you never disconnect from dac, this means an increasing load that may
explain the breakdown.


Since you want some release on the ADSR, you could make a second shred
function that deals with playing a single note, which could make sure to
disconnect e from dac one the release time has passed. Trigger the note
playing shred from your iGen function.
