I have been in the proccess of creating a Granular SYnthesis patch. Inspired by some youtube videos, ive decided to use a Waveform~ object as a start/end selector.

I have ONE problem with the patch:

the Waveform~ object only plays/is set at 1000 ms, and I cant play anything longer than that ( equal to just over 40000 samples, if Im not making sense to anybody)

so, that means if I load up a Beethoven symphony (for example) to play around with, it wont play past the first 1 second.

SO, if anybody can figure out what I’m trying to say AND help me out, it’d be much appreciated

i presume you are scaling the horizontal position of the waveform~ to the the selected audio? if not you can do that via the 5th outlet

oh, and posting your patch is often a quicker way to solve these problems done by,

edit – select al

edit – copy compressed

paste as text like so

(There might be a 2GB memory limitation though, but down sampled it should be possible…;-)
I never heard a waveform~ object play anything by the way. Other objects can do that, some of them play buffer~s…
This should be covered in some early tutorials…

Maybe play around with some simpler goals first, before you get tackling a granular synth. I understand well, that having a big picture is also a sort of motivation. But finding out yourself how to load more than a second into a buffer~ could be motivating as well…;-)

Good luck.

I looked over it all and actually figured it out. Now I have a whole other problem…

I have also been trying to connect the Waveform~ to this patch I made.

Id like to use the waveform to select the audio I want looped, white still retaining the rest of the patch and controls.. Please dis-regard my last and initial post.

interesting patch, the guts look pretty awesome :)

Also, I think I understand what you mean. Only problem is, I have tried countless times to implement the Waveform~ into that patch I posted

If you want to take a look at it, it’s called The Mill, and it’s available here: http://xfade.com/max/

interested to see the more complete posting, including the “gran” patch… do tell!
