How can i keep this from clipping?

[wppk]

it seems that everytime 1000::ms passes it sums the new pass to the old and therefore it eventually clips. Any idea how to prevent this?

[code]fun void solarwind() {

while(true){
BPF b => HalfRect r => LPF l2 => JCRev rev => Dyno limiter => dac;
Noise n2 => b;
//tried overall gain
1.0 => dac.gain;
n2.gain(.1);
//tried limiter but not sure exactly how to set this one
limiter.gain(.95);
//what argument type is used for .limit
limiter.limit();
rev.mix(.1);
b.Q(10);
b.freq(5000);
l2.freq(Std.rand2(500,100));
l2.Q(Std.rand2(50,1000));
1000::ms => now;
}
}

spork ~ solarwind();
while(true){100::ms => now;}

I've tried messing around with the patch..
but I suspected that the thing that causes this clipping character..
are those Qs in BPF and LPF -_-"

How about trying other kinds of more basic filters and see?

I'm not so sure. it seems that even without the Qs the loop just keeps getting louder every time 1000::ms passes. It's kind of like feedback. I'm baffled.
Thanks for having a look Kijjaz. By the way, what type of argument does the .limit member take? doesn't seem to like float or int.

liimt() is just a function to load a preset.
it sets various values.. see http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/program/ugen_full.html#Dyno

HEY...! ..

I thought HalfRect is always absolute, and the value of l2 might be building up..
hmmm.. but it didn't.

ok let me see more...

ahh...

OH!
HEY...
Hahhahahha oooohhhhh oh..... I know -_-"

You see the BPF b => HalfRect r => LPF l2 => JCRev rev => Dyno limiter => dac; and also the Noise?
that's in the while loop..
so every time it run in there,
there's a brand new instant of that whole row of UGens.
So those all adds up to DAC.
also all the values of the limiters are added to dac, so the values are added up.

here's a fix i made:

I think you may need it move the definitions of the Ugens out of the "while" loop (so above it). I think that right now it keeps re-defining Ugens.

Wait a minute! That means that code like this:

Right. Duh. Thanks Guys.
