Bela Recorder PD Patch

This is the final patch for this Bela Recorder patch. It receive stereo audio input from adc~ 1 and 2 and adc~ 3 content to *~ object to control input amplitude as a gain control. Then the audio signal go into rev~2 object. It is the reverb object have four inlet, volume reverb object, feedback(which they call it liveness),  Crossover frequency in Hz and High Freuqnecy damping. When we describe reverb, we will said wet and dry and I am literately using moisture sensor to control it. I am trying to questioning how field recording more realistic and reverb has most acoustic characters in effects. It can recreate an acsotic space. If the conventional way of doing field recording aren’t realistic, then can the space I recreated can be more real in terms of the experience and sensation in the field. So the moisture sensor send signal into the crossover frequency which the more moisture it get, the higher frequency I got in the reverb. The temperature sensor doing the opposite, the hotter it get, more high frequency will be damp and cut out. Then I all go into to writes~ to write files and dac~ to give me an output so I can monitor it while doing recording.

On the other side of the patch loadbang and message are to telling Bela what digital pin I am using. Number 18 is connected to a button which by using select object to trigger the toggle of the recorder. The reason why need a select object is because the button will send out signal when I release it. It would stop the recoding instantly. Number 17 is connected to LED light and it basically function as recording light. It will tell me if it is recoding or not as Bela didn’t have monitor or indicator at all. Finally, I have to copy and create a separate rev2~ patch since Bela didn’t have rev2~ object in Bela pure data.
