palindrome looping?

hey..

i dont know if anyone of you ever used jit.qt.movie (i know its jitter)

anyways….

it has the “palindrome” function meaning.. you set a looppoints and the video plays from loopstart to end and then from loop end to start in reverse…

is this possible with a groove~ or any other max object for sound playback?

i cant find anything in the helps.. but maybe there is a trick

thanks

Alternate between sending a positive and negative signals to groove~, switching sign when the right outlet hits one or zero.

Does that get you going?

Hello if you find a thread titled- ‘more more on clickless looping (sorry)’ . Open my patch & it has this function. you’ll need to add in a few more bits to clear up the clicks though. But it’s all in that thread. I’m away from my max machine for a few days so can’t update at the mo’. It’s easy enough to implement and I’m sure someone has more sleek way to do it than I but it’ll get yopu started.

kinda

what iam doing is

im using a select object and in the left inlet goes the current position of the sample (in ms), in the right inlet the value of the loopend position (in ms)

so what i thought was, everytime when the current position equals the loopend position, select should bang, and then send the -1 msg to the grooves~’s sig~ object..

but it doesnt work, and i get the feeling that it is because the float with the current postion is running too fast for the select to recognize…
when i set the playback speed to 0.3 it works perfectly…

Sad

yes, it’s probably too fast.
you might have to loose a bit of precision for this to work..

Not sure why you re-made the thread, but if you modify whatever patch you’re making to be controlled at audio-rate, ie by using wave~, index~ or maybe play~ instead of groove~ for playback, you won’t run into these max-timing issues.

Using a triangle wave with a range of 0. to 1. to drive wave~ is a much simpler and more accurate way of doing what you want, in my opinion anyway.

I’m not sure what others think of this, but I always feel that when working with audio, use signals to control parameters that relate to timing/accuracy whenever possible. Don’t compromise and lose precision unless you really really have to!

I’ve put in a way of changing the loop length that was missing from my other post. Is this not the kind of thing you’re after? It’s not groove~ based, but it will work, arguably better than messing with select and edge~ combinations.

you’re right, this is *much* better Wink

ooooops, total time output on info needs to be plugged into the left inlet of [f ] not the right, otherwise when you load a new file the loop length and playback frequency isn’t updated.
