I’m working on a MAX/MSP patch for Uni and I’m having a little trouble. I’ve uploaded the patch so you can have a look yourselves.

Anyway, the problem I’m having is I am trying to get the played chords to repeat using one button and play the chord back in singular note intervals with another button. I have got the basic 3 note chords working no problem and also the chords with 5 notes working, but the trouble is once I’ve played a 5 note chord and tested the repeat/interval buttons which work fine, when I go back to play a 3 note chord, it plays the extra 2 notes that were just played from 5 note chord.

Logically, I thought I would need to somehow clear the memory that’s been stored, playing the extra 2 notes, so I’d need to make the patch/objets “forget” the notes that have just been passed through them once they have been played.

I’m not sure if that makes much sense but any help would be greatly appreciated!

To get the patch working, you need to set the key by pressing a key on a MIDI keyboard (press a singular C key for example) and then use the QWERTY keyboard to play back the chords.

Thank you in advance

Seb

Hope that’s helpful.
I opened the patch and saw the masses of wiring, and it’s simply not readable. Not only that, you must be working on a 1000000*1000000 pixel screen or something, so I couldn’t even get a good overview of what was going on.

I realize this isn’t as constructive as you may have hoped, but I think I speak for a silent majority…

Any problems or you don’t get it let me know.

Also you might want to check out how to ‘encapsulate’ and using the ‘p’ object, check the documentation it will make your future patches neater and more people will help when you post :p

All the best!

Oli

You should consider to use [coll] to make your patch smaller and easier to modify.

As he says though it would be better to use a [coll] for all the relative chord values.

best
