Simple Pattern Based Algorithmic Sound Thingy, for the community.

Turn your audio on and hit the preset, et voila, music (albeit slightly repetitive and boring after about a minute type music)

Thanks for sharing, this is very attractive, and deceptively simple, not too repetitive at all. I'm gonna have fun pulling this apart and learning.

I think its a good starting point to get deeper in to this kind of stuff. Glad you like :)

Saw your time-stretch work there too; very very tasty indeed. It sounds like frequency-domain granulation - is it?

Mike S's icon

There's no granulation, what I'm doing is altering the length of the function objects which are linked to the metro objects frequency, as there's no samples I don't need to do any time stretching.

well, i look forward to seeing it..

oooh, great patch man. congrats and thanks are in order.

i love making self sufficient patches myself, nothing more fun than watching something go to work without laying your hands on it once it starts running :)...

@brendan, its right there in the patch, just change the metro speed

@lewis, thanks, self sufficient is a great way of looking at it!

also, try replacing the random objects with drunk, sounds a bit better to me :)

Sorry Mike, didn't make myself clear - I was referring to the other MaxMsp example on your youtube channel:

Ah right OK, I'm going to build that in to an app and distribute it as donationware. Later versions I plan to sell, so you'll be waiting a long time for me to post it on here!

I may decide to sell a version of the patch without the GUI for Max heads, if there's an audience for it?

Not looking for a freebie; just interested as a fellow academic. I'm building a digital musical instrument (i) physical model; (ii) granulation engine, for my PhD

haven't a clue about physical models, but granular i can do, message me through soundcloud for more info on that. c74 why can't we have a PM system on here? or at least a way to contact a user via email?
