Buffer Repeat Module Questions
What do the “poly” and “strict” options/states of the buffer repeat module do?
is there any way to make the record start immediately on freeze rather than quantized to the next “length” quanta?
When modulating the length, is the effective length quantized to the steps available in the ui (1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4) or does one get a continuous range of values between 1/16 and 4?
thanks

buffer size is always quantized

there isn’t, buffer size needs to be ‘filled’ first then can be repeated... so you can shorten the ‘delay’ with ‘size’ knob but can’t reduce it to 0 (which is effectively freezing silence)
‘strict’ - switch relates to ‘speed’ knob. when enabled speed changes are ‘quantized‘ (see speed values while on/off)
‘poly’ - in Drambo polyphony handled by multiplying signals... notice some PROCESSOR/EFFECT modules have a circled 1 next to them, meaning those effects will merge multiple (poly) voice lanes into a single lane to save CPU. In practice if I take Reverb effect module as an example, it means instead of applying reverb to each held note individually, it will be applied to the chord as a whole... in buffer repeat module you can switch between these two modes - individual notes (poly on) vs all voices merged down to one (poly off). ‘Poly off’ state is the more conventional for this effect.
Thanks for the information. It really helped me!
AFAIKT strict means the time divisions are bound to the incoming clock signal. I’ve noticed that when it’s on it makes more sense musically/rhythmically.
I now see that @rec has already explained that, just more eloquently.
@supadom Virginia was a bot, nevermind ;)
I think I’ve missed her. Was she fit?
Kind of a generic response without knowing what she was talking about, and of course an ad link to some shady site 😉
Must have been that female bot with the Drambo tattoo across her chest.
Something odd is buffer repeat allows you to set the clock with a Non-bipolar square lfo instead of the global BPM but buffer repeat doesn’t seem to work when connected to an lfo and still just uses the global bpm
