Thanks, @cosinekitty, and yes, two Embellish’s writing to the same point will, mmmmm, produce a noisy blend, no doubt of interest to someone.
I considered using messages instead of just sharing the same pointer, but messages appear to have an inherent latency to them (one sample per module to module movement). So yes, the process calls come in what ever order they like.
Love the idea of the Memory System. It sounds beautiful!! All depends what you record but they are something to look forward to.
Wow this looks awesome!
I was hoping that something like this would appear, and tried to pitch the idea once 
The only thing that is missing from making this perfect, would be to be able to move the read head freely, allowing scratches, slowdowns, speedups etc… and some good interpolation/anti-aliasing. Also it might be really useful to be able to set the buffer in multiples of a clock, to sync it to BPM.
If I remember correctly, @baconpaul said all this could be done easily with his universal delay buffer from the Surge XT stuff, he even wanted to build that, but is probably very busy with everything else he’s doing. Maybe you can use his technology, though, to make this thing fly af.
He said he got the buffer ready for all that, perfectly interpolated, so maybe you can plug it into this thing. I’m no programmer, but I hope this might just work 
Anyways, very good idea! very cool!
I don’t think I used the word easily
It’s probably not, I don’t know - it’s a cool module anyways, just thought maybe this could help to make it better.
almost every delay line has a good interpolator, right? It’s not very expensive. As has been determined over and over again here.
The difficult thing seems to be to manipulate the playhead directly while keeping a good sound quality.
There is now the first open source plugin that does this, so maybe this could provide the right buffer:
Well that was unwise of me!
It looks like a cubic interpolation. That’s what my old SFZ player does. I know for a while there were people doing “zero order” or “drop sample” interpolation, and everyone agreed that sounds bad. It’s not clear to me how audible the differences are once you are at least at linear interpolation. I’ve always done cubic, but that’s more a habit than anything else. I know some people make some pretty fancy polyphase since interpolators…
I was hoping it could be done so that the modulation would sound as smooth as using the adjust slider, allowing to scratch the sample, create slowdowns etc.
TIME1 is the first open source plugin that can do this the same way as Gross Beat, MRhythmizer, Time Shaper… in those plugins you can control the buffer very precisely with an MSEG - if this could be done with external modulators in Rack, this could be really powerful.
But I have no idea how to do it… I just have some ideas how you could use it if it would work
Without trying Time1 yet, have you noticed that there is a speed input that gets added to the speed control? If not, that might open up some possibilities.
Yeah that’s nice, too! Maybe making it follow 1V/Oct might be useful.
It also might be useful to be able to adjust the buffer length in measures of a given BPM to sync it.
Nice module anyways, very cool idea with the multiple heads for 1 buffer!
I liked that V/Oct idea so much, it’s coming in 2.0.15 (whenever that happens).
Here’s a demonstration video, I think it opens up some interesting uses. Like a…janky Mellotron whose sound changes as you play it.
By the way, I’m posting irregular progress reports on my modules at my StochasticTelegraphTech YouTube channel, in case you’re interested in following along (or suggesting ideas that escape me).
Nice!
I found that this module does a pretty good job of automating the playhead, too: VCV Library - Biset It's good cholesterol
When in the first mode (phase mode) and automating the phase it seems to be able to handle that pretty well.
In the second mode it actually does exactly what I was looking for - allowing you to completely freely scrub the playhead while still sounding good.
2.0.15 release is out this morning. Here are my release notes:
More details in the Memory docs.
Hello, is there any chance that there will be sync to clock feature? (I’m waiting for it :>)
Can you explain a bit more what you are imagining?
My understanding is that a Clock signal is series of short trigger pulses to the beat. What are you imagining would happen whenever a trigger is seen to the CLOCK input?
Or am I understanding it incorrectly?
