Arpeggiator

BLJ's icon

Hi Forum
I'm a newbe to MAX working my way through the tutorials.

I try to make a random arpeggiator ( see the patch )over specified tones.
I'm sure there is a very simple solution to this .
suggestions would be aprreciated.

glad i could help, im still very much learning myself so i know how it feels

if you want to make the non-random mode go down, or back&forth take a
look at the help file for counter, you can easily add options for that

you can make the select object bigger (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 etc..) or you
can create a coll or table, and have each position be the pitch you
want

so double click the coll object and fill it with pitches, it would
look something like this:

0 56;
1 58;
2 63;
4 69;

etc...,

tick 'save coll with patcher' so it doesnt wipe when you reopen the patch

then plug the counter into it and it will output the value at each position
make sure you give the counter a new argument, so if you want 16notes
total, it would be counter 15 (since 0 is the first step)

using coll is more tidy than having a long select, and it lets you
change arpeggios by creating text files of arpeggios you want, and
then reading them into coll

you can use the same umenu/select combo to bang message boxes with the
'read majorseventh.txt' 'read halfdiminished.txt' etc..

if that doesnt make sense let me know and ill patch it up for you

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

This isn't the same patch, but it does most of the things you would look for in an arpeggiator, plus an interesting transposition feature.
