[PD] Adding up a thicket of oscillators

[Dan Wilcox]

I'm not quite sure I understand your patching approach enough to debug.

If it's at all helpful, I can suggest how I might do this via [clone -n 1] with 72 instances of an abstraction:

[inlet]
|
[route freq gain]
|
[osc]
|
[*~ 0.25] <-- perhaps some trim amount as lots of osc are being summer
|
[*~ ] <--- single osc gain value goes here
|
[outlet~]

The outlets are summed in clone through the output. If you need stereo, it's the same just with two [outlet~]s and some sort of panner.

UDP messages would then just need to have the gain values read and applied to the clone instances by their ID, ie.

[1 gain 0.25
|
[clone 72 -n 1 orc-abs]
|
[*~ ] <--- master gain
|
[dac~] <-- or some similar output abstraction

Not knowing your networking message layout, I can't say anything else other than "use OSC" as addressing and arguments are relatively easy to work with via:

[netreceive -u -b]
|
[oscparse]
|
perhaps some routing etc
|
[clone]
