Hi Folks,
I am currently unable to instantiate a Synth where a parameter is reliably controlled by a Control Bus (set by a MIDIFunc and using asMap) without running the synth with some non-zero amplitude first and then running the asMap line. I am, frankly, stumped, as I used to do this all the time without issue. I am currently on Windows 11 and running SC 3.13. I have tried this on both Windows 11 and MacOS and two different MIDI controllers, I get the same symptoms no matter what.
More specifically: When I run what is below I cannot modulate the amplitude of the radio1 synth with the MIDI controller and it remains silent. However, if I make an instance of the synth first, and set the amplitude to 0.5, the synth will sound and I can then map amplitude to Control Bus and control with MIDI. I would prefer to instantiate the Synth with an amplitude of 0.0, map amplitude to Control Bus, and then control amplitude via MIDI. I used to be able to do this easily and am not sure why I am no longer able to do so. Anyone see any issues below?
