Current Voice Info module not working as 2014 drum machine tutorial describes

There was an error rendering this rich post.

H. I'm new to Reaktor, and I am following this tutorial (see below)

The Voice Info module as introduced at around 7:00 in, does not output a sequence of voice numbers. Only ever a value of '1'. So it only triggers sample one using data from row one of the table. The number is meant to be used read all four rows of data, assigning a different sample for each row.

The Voice Info module in the tutorial looks different to the one in Reaktor 6.5, so I wonder whether this is part of the problem? The ADSR tutorial is in fact 9 years old.

What do I need to do to get the same functionality in R 6.5, please?

Although, one thing to check is what the voice count is in the instrument/ensemble. If you have voices set to 1, then V output of voice info will always output a 1.

you are connecting poly signals to mono modules. With a voice count of more than one this is not possible and is shown as a faulty connection (red wires).

Read up on Reaktor polyphony in the primary manual.

Little hint: You can extract a mono signal from a poly one with the fr. Voice modules.

If you post your broken instrument/ensemble, than it would make it easier to debug!

I wouldn't expect folk to watch an ancient video, then build the structure themselves from scratch, so they can debug your code for free ;)

You were right – it was set to 1. I fixed that and now the sample can be seen switching visually , but the links to the outs have turned red, showing errors. Also the numeric displays I added for debugging is red too.

Screen grab and .ens file below. Thank-you for helping.

I found out you need the Audio Voice Combiner. It's actually right there in the tutorial before he starts – but he does not explain it.

Audio voice combiner is not ideal for everything. It gives you the sum of the values on all the voices. So if you want to monitor stuff like voice number with a numeric, Audio Voice Combiner makes no sense - what use is that sum going to be?

Thanks, but I didnt get anywhere trying to work out fr. Voice, so this method expedited my learning path, for now.
