Initialization rate for BufMax

Development
1

Is there a way to add the initialisation rate method for the UGens BufMax and BufMin (in SC3plugins extension).
By the way I wonder why the developer did not implemented it? Is there a reason or a mere oversight?

Most UGens don’t implement ir.

This UGen has a trigger input; if you supply a trigger = 1.0, or Impulse.kr(0), then it will calculate once at the beginning and not recalculate after that – so .ir isn’t strictly needed for that.

Absolute value, seems this isn’t supported currently. You could do max(abs(BufMin.kr(...).neg), abs(BufMax.kr(...))) maybe? As a workaround, short of modifying the UGens’ c++ sources.

That make sense. Thanks for the tricks. :slight_smile:
