Need Help/Tips for a new module

vvvv beta general

hi.

i try to build a module, that can fade in new created slices smoothly and also fade slices out before they are deleted by decreasing the spreadcount.

see the attached patch, which illustrates nicely what i like to do.

i have a few problems… when increasing the incomming spreadsize, due the feedback loop, the creation of the new slices are delayed each by one frame… change the incomming spreadsize fast to see the effect… decreasing is no problem no markable delay…

second problem: spreadcount feed with 0 produce ever increasing output spreadcounts…

i suspect what the problem but at the moment a cant solve it…
maybe the patch should be realised in a whole different way…

im thankfull for every little hint…

In fact that that that the spreadcount of your FADE OUT is already 1 + SPREAD COUNT OUT, why don’t you use a high spreadcount (e.g.) and a barspread?

hi kalle…

thx. of course i could do that, that would make thinks a lot easier. but its more elegant when spreadcount always have the optimal size… but maybe theres a way to adapt the spreadcount of the BarSpread without a feedback loop… i try that thx,

well…what about this one…you might have to prevent negative spreadcounts

forget the last one
take this

hey thanks kalle… you are really a fast patcher :)

this works formidable…

i think i can adapt the size of the bar spread by a nonfixed value… just by adding up the framedifference of the spreadcount… i try that out…

thanks alot
