Hello,
I am a beginner in Flowstone, just did the tutorials in their website.
Can't access to official forum because i'm still trying the demo to see if it's for me, or whether Reaktor or others.. So I hope someone here knows how to use it..

I'm trying to connect the multi-point envelope to the frequency of the midi-to-poly, to make things like kick drum and others..
I was thinking that the oscillator can completely disregard the pitch from the midi and only use the envelope for pitch, So I guess the midi-to-poly should only trigger the oscillator?

I would love your help in this
Thank you

I use Synthmaker and not yet Flowstone, don't currently have the demo installed, but it's probably be like-midi to poly outputs a gate and/or trigger pin to control the multi stage envelope, connect that to oscillator, and yeah you wouldn't have to connect the midi to poly also to the osc, might want an extra knob to adjust pitch(or have an amount knob for the envelope).

Thank for answering!
I tried to connect it directly in many ways but it doesn't seem to work, I dont know what is the right way to do it?
Here is a picture of how it's connected now

Hey man,

This works mate.
Another variation is to give it a frequency, and multiply the sine osc's output by the envelope

Hope it's helpful,

edit- so to fill this out a bit:
directly connecting a poly white bool(pulse symbol,on/off type message) to the blue mono bool,
does not function. You need to a conversion, which may be not all that intuitive.
So you could make a mono drum synth by doing a conversion in dsp code,
but poly is more capable, so this conversion is done after the soundwave signal is generated with
'poly to mono'
Other than that- cool chain 8D
ps-> It's always good practice to run a hard clip last IMO, it sorta eases the strain on any components afterwards, who knows exactly what electronics follow ie. speaker failsafing to a degree
