Pop audio cut whilst moving bars and playing.

Caused whilst using the bars to change the waveform and playing at the same time. When the mouse hold is lifted, there is a loud pop whilst the audio cuts. I have attached a recording of it.

System Details: padthv1 verson 1.0 OpenSuse Tumbleweed (geekosdaw) Tested with the Standalone and LV2 in Carla and had the same issue.

well yes, that's somehow expected behavior: editing the harmonics will regenerate a new brand wavetable, so probably all currently sounding voices, if any, will get abruptly cut off.

[thoth-amon]

The audio cutting out alone wouldn't be a problem if it didn't make the type of loud crack, which at high enough volume, can cause the audio server to die and/or possibly kill speakers.

ok. please test whether ea8d6a5 (develop branch) is any better.

thanks

It is better but still a problem. It's almost completely better when holding a note and then moving the bar/setting but if tapping on notes and moving settings it now varies from slightly to just as bad as before.

thanks; let me know whether ec06127 is an improvement...

unfortunately it won't get much better than this any time soon--changing most of the GEN PADsynth wavetable parameters are not realtime-smoothed anyway and probably never will; so sorry

[thoth-amon]

Still the same as before.

last chance with 697ad93

nb. previous commits have been squashed; please reset to origin/develop.

[thoth-amon]

Not noticeably different again. Still much better than originally though.

I don't know whether this is of any use but I did notice now that when the high pass filter is set to 30, or higher, that removes any remaining popping sounds when changes are made.

addressed and prolly solved by now >= v1.0.0.5git.1c5e17

please test && tell

[thoth-amon]

Yes, the pop effect has now gone. As you now have to wait for the previous note to finish, for sounds with long release this could feel like a change hasn't happened if you didn't know to wait. That's far less of a problem than the popping though IMHO
