Victor, thanks for your reply and your patience.
I don't know why my file got cut up. Verizon is now refusing to
deliver this because of "high SPAM count, whatever
that is."  Hope this now works.  Attached is the
complete csd.

Sorry, but I can't see a diskgrain in the code in your e-mail. Where's pitchamdf?Can you attach the correct file? ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce McKinney To: csound@lists.bath.ac.uk Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 3:44 PM Subject: [Csnd] Re: Re: ++SPAM++ diskgrain and pitch trackers
Dear Victor,

Thanks for your replies.
Here is a copy of the .csd I sent
to the list last week. I am using Csound 5.10
on an Intel Mac OS X 10.5 from a terminal
window.

I have been attempting to call a diskgrain instrument in real-time from an instrument that
uses the pvsanal and pvspitch opcodes to analyse an incoming audio signal and then
eventually send it to the called instrument using diskgrain. In the example below, I
have simplified everything in my attempt to find out what is not working. The called instrument,
i 5, uses the CSound manual example verbatim, which works--obviously, I have substituted my
own sound file. However, when I include the line of code :

k1, k2 pvspitch f1, kthresh; in the calling instrument, the diskgrain output includes
a second invariant pitch. The pitch changes based on my choices for ksmps or overlap
in the pvsanal, but I can not get rid of it.

Is there some way in which it is not possible to use these two opcodes in this manner,
or am I doing something stupid!

Looking foward to suggestions.comments

There was a memory bug in diskgrain, but that was fixed (not sure
when now, but I think 5.10 is OK). Maybe the
version you are using still contains the bug. That could very well
be messing up things.

I wrote to the list recently regarding my inability to use

with PVSANAL and PVSADSYN. Today I replaced this combination with PITCHAMDF with output to an OSCIL.

Results: In both cases when diskgrain is not called (commented out) both pitchtracker combonations
produce the expected results.

When diskgrain is called with the pitch tracker combo is commented out, diskgrain works as expected.

In both cases, when a pitch tracker is active and diskgrain is called, the sound is severely distorted in the
manner similar to that produced sometimes by uncontrolled amplitude modulation, or when
two a-rate variables are multiplied together without regard to the consequences. There are thus huge
sample-out-of-range overruns.

I would be grateful if someone could attempt an csd. using one of these combinations of opcodes
to see if you get the same results.

Many thanks,

Bruce M
