Hi there!
I just wanted to try this new module, which looks like it would be doing something really nice, but… how? I don’t see a trigger-, nor a phase-input…
Ah ok… I just found out… phase goes into “rate” input 
nice module, will check it out now…
Looks interesting shame about no docs and no source
I thought I had seen just about all plugins/modules in VCV. But I can’t remember ever seeing Hoyer.Hoppes(modules).
Just had a peek at Phase-Driven Multihit Envelope but it seems pretty buggy. As soon as you twiddle knobs or sliders, NaN values pop up at the Env and Amp output ports. And it will not recover from those, until reloading the module.
Hundreds of volts appear at the output when feeding it a full range oscillator/LFO phasor (bipolar or positive). But, when feeding it a (very) low amplitude (bipolar of unipolar) phasor it works better (like 0-1V or +/- 0.5 or less).
I soon gave up understanding and exploring its various behaviours due to extreme voltage outputs and NaN values.
For me it works very nice with the phase output of ZZC clock or it’s dividers and LFOs… It’s probably not good for audio rate, I guess, but very nice for modulation.
Ah, OK, so apparently it works fine. Just not on my try. I guess a case of ‘User error, replace user’…
(EDIT): Nevermind lol, I just scrolled down. Glad it’s working for you!
Hi, I’m the developer. Could you provide some info about your system and maybe a patch file/screenshot? I developed it in Windows and personally haven’t experienced what you’re describing. The phase input is intended to take a 0-10v phasor, or clock pulses for people who don’t want to use phasors.
I’m glad you figured out how to use it! These are still in development, do you have any suggestions to make the frontend clearer? There is a manual in the readme of the github if you would like to check it out: HoyerHoppes/README.md at main · jakulley/HoyerHoppes · GitHub. I forgot to link it in the manifest. That will come with the first update, which I hope to push in a week or two.

I might have a suggestion for another feature:
Right now, the envelopes completely spread either to the right or the left side. It might be cool to have another knob, which sets a center, to which they spread - full left or full right would work like now, middle would cause it to speed up and slow down again, in between it would speed up faster and slow down slower or the other way around.

… basically like the skew now, but without inverting the envelopes, just influencing the spread.
… maybe it’s better with just the slew like now… the inverted envelopes are nice, and for more uniform enevelopes one could just set it to short spikes and use them as triggers…
very cool modue anyway! nice little rhythmic loops with ease!

Hmm I don’t think that would be too hard to implement, although I shudder at the thought of modifying the graphics widget…I’ll give it some thought!
Hi there!
I just had another try, using a Bogaudio LFO as a Phasor into the Rate input. This LFO offers rate, offset and scaling, and can go into audiorange (up to C5, 523.25Hz).
Findings:
- When staying within 0-10V range at the Rate input, things seem to work just fine.
- The NaN issue pops (env/vca output) up when feeding < 0V or >= 20V into the Rate input.
- All other inputs seem to work fine with negative voltage and voltages >= 20V (so, basically any voltage).
I guess it’s unlikely to be system/hardware or OS related issue.
Okay, yep, I have checked and confirmed on the negative voltages. Can you tell me where you’re getting input voltages >20v? All my rescaling tools and even my amps clamp at around 10-12v. At any rate, it should be an easy fix, will push with the next update.

The module has been updated with a context menu to select unipolar or bipolar input. Additionally, you should not get infinite outputs feeding negative values in unipolar mode, it just drops off to zero.
