Hi, I'm new to max, however i did make a patch a while back in my tech music class that allowed me to import an audio file (shown in waveform) and have the file randomly highlighted on various areas so that random amounts of audio were played from the file. I was wondering if anyone knew how to create this patch as I have no idea how to even start. I'd also like to use my joystick pad with it which I have got working through the 'using a joypad' article on the tutorials but i can only play a random sine wave or something. Can anyone help me?!

I think this is a classic question of design.

You should continue to think about what you want the data to do when it "comes into your patch", and manipulate the numbers based on that.

In terms of 'starting': Really try to focus your question better and come up with a preliminary patch that you've attempted and people will be able to help you more.

you probably want to check out the groove~ and/or wave~ and waveform~
