Cherry Audio Forums

EDITED: My response was technical nonsense, so I thought it best to remove it to avoid confusing anyone else.

I believe this is the order of initialization in Java:
* static variables and static initializers
* instance variables and instance initializers
* constructors

Let me a few additional notes, in case it’s of help Voltage Modular does not provide “sample accurate” timing in the sense you cannot expect ProcessSample() to be called consistently at 48k. Rather, it appears that VM buffers e.g. 256 samples and processes the buffer in one run. This is a general ch...

I’ve used Java, C and C++ professionally for a long time and I still have the shortest path from idea to working code in Java. I was a bit surprised how efficient the VM environment is and it's absolutely fantastic for development and prototyping. On a related note, I also think Cherry Audio has don...

In my experience, any variable that is accessed from two threads needs to be declared volatile even if it's a primitive data type. As I have the main audio thread and a GUI thread, anything I set/get on the UI thread I mark as volatile. I have tried removing the volatile to see if it made any differ...

On my system, the UI of VM modules pauses while downloading and installing updates. If I have a midi-keyboard connected I can still play but the UI is frozen for several seconds.

I did a little profiling on this when I initially ported my code from JUCE to voltage modular. My computer runs natively at 48k with a 256 sample buffer on a Motu interface. I profiled every call to ProcessSample() and looked over 1 second. In other words, I measured the amount of time between each ...

Thanks for the comments. I do have a logging framework that I manage with a few 'final boolean' variables to include or exclude at build time. I had hoped to automatically remove my verbose logging when building a release as the overhead shouldn't be in a published module. Thanks again.

Q: Is there a way to determine if I am compiling a debug build vs publishing? I would like to automatically disable verbose logging when I publish but leave it on when developing/debugging. In Visual studio for C++, the compiler defines _DEBUG and NDEBUG respectively to support such compile-time con...

The VM Module Designer is a really great prototyping and development tool. I’ve found that I’m more productive than in JUCE and the ability to connect “things up” in real-time is great for development and debugging. VM is also very efficient (imo) and doesn’t seem to impose a lot of costs at executi...

The core java math class also provides implementations that properly rounds, truncates, performs ceiling, and similar. For instance, one of the round methods are: static long round(double a) -- Returns the closest long to the argument, with ties rounding to positive infinity. https://docs.oracle.com...
