I have been having good results using MIDI controller contours generated in MAX to control the angle parameter the MultichannelPan Sound, particularly because I am able to specify that the !Angle hotvalue be smoothed. However, the MultichannelPan Sound does not seem to be very comfortable when used in a Sound in a timeline. So, when using a Sound in a timeline I have mapped the MIDI controller contours to the Angle track control in the timeline as a Live control source. Without the smoothing, though, I am getting a fair amount of zipper noise as my sounds whirl around the soundfield. So my question is this: is there a way to achieve smoothing when applying a live control to the Angle track control in a timeline? Many thanks for any help you can offer. IP: Logged | |

Hi Sam, Just to verify, are you using Kyma version X.54? There's been a change to the Timeline to accommodate multichannel Sounds and MultichannelPan should function the same in the Timeline as it does on its own. Thanks! IP: Logged | |

Yes, I moved up to X.54 last week, but I'm still having difficulties with MultichannelPan in a timeline. I've attached an example timeline (SurroundMallets.ktl) if you want to take a look. My speaker placement preset is Surround 5.1. I'm expecting that a controller sweep from 0-127 should result in movement of the sound from LS through LF, CF, RF, to RS. However, what I'm seeing on the outputs is a pan from outputs 1-3-5 to outputs 2-4-6. Also, this timeline is a major processor hog (and I've got a fully-loaded Capy). The maximum polyphony I can get from the timeline is 7 tones. However, outside of a timeline the mallet Sound can get polyphony up to 56. Thanks for your help! IP: Logged | |

I should mention that I've noticed too that the artifacts most frequently occur when the sound is panning to or from the front center channel. (And I should also mention that I've confirmed that PAN interpolation is ON.) IP: Logged | |

I'm looking at your Timeline and was wondering whether the attached Sound might do the trick. The attached Sound uses a MIDIVoice with polyphony 10 and an independent pan control over each of the voices. This could be played standalone without the Timeline if it behaves in the way you expect.

Yes, I think I'll be able to use this to get what I'm after. And, as an unexpected bonus, it suggests a solution to another problem I've been working on for a few weeks! Many thanks!! IP: Logged |
