[Bluemusic-users] Crossover and Subchannels

[Menno K. <mag...@gm...>]

i have found a workaround for the routing. Goal was to have an effect that
can  divide the incoming signal to go to for example 3 Subchannels, each
with its own frequency filter section. It must be placed in the pre-fade
box of this signal so i can attenuate this signal independently.

Because the effects in Blue are UDOs and always ending with "xout aout1,
aout2", it is not possible to send from the pre-fade box of a sound using
the following pseudo code:
*filter LOW*  --> go to Subchannel 1
*filter MID*   --> go to Subchannel 2
*filter HIGH  --> --> go to Subchannel 3

or in Blue code:
......
blueMixerOut "SubChannel1", alp1 ,alp2
blueMixerOut "SubChannel2", abp1 ,abp2
blueMixerOut "SubChannel3", ahp1 ,ahp2

as the effects allow for "xout aout1, aout2" only - no other xout options
possible.

Not a biggie as the workaround is:
- divide in pre-fade the incoming signal with "Add New Send" --> choose to
send to Subchannel1
- do the same for two more Subchannels 2 & 3 in the pre-fade box of the
signal
- in each Subchannel, put the Filter effect in the pre-fade box and set it
to LOW, MID, HIGH respectively
- only (small) disadvantage is that now i have to have to put in this
effect 3 times.

But...ready to go, problem solved

As for the issue i had with the Suchannel system - it may have had to do
with all this fiddling of me trying to send impossible stuff to the
Subchannels before i found my workaround. I just tried this blue file again
and it does work but with the same Java error sign and error textbox when i
click on the sign. In this blue file the Subchannels are not an effect but
are in the instrument.
