[PD] sigmund~ constant noise problem

2011-01-09 Thread Shaul Tzemach
hi,

I'm using sigmund~ to get sound input from microphone(with adc~), the data is 
controling the movement of gem objects. But it seems that the sigmund~ respond 
to silence as well and react in a constant change of the data. Is there a way 
to 
control this noise?

Thanks,
shaul

Depends on the 'noise' and what is producing it. Ideally you should 
first of all try to achieve the best signal:noise ratio for the signal 
you want to use to feed sigmund~. After which you might try some sort of 
gating, depending on the source type (you talk about silence so you 
could look at e.g. at [threshold~] or [env~]) and application.

Hi,
I always put a [env] to gate the sigmund data ouput. Whenever [env] gets
below a certains level (basically that of your noise), you use a [  X] to
output a binary number (0 when it goes below X), which then controls a
[spigot], which blocks the data flowing from sigmund. The only tricky part
is to tune this to the right noise level.
