Euclidean Sequence List Output
Hello,
Sorry for being slow, but is anyone able to make suggestions about how to output this sequencer in order to create sound, and, or rhythm. Any kind of general ideas relating to use of lists for control would be great.
Thank you
Here is a simple seq:
Sequencing is a huge topic in Max, as Euclidean rhythms too, so you have a lot of options connected to your general Max-related skills.
Some tips about sequencing and Euclidean rhythms in Max you may find here: https://www.paweljanicki.jp/projects_maxandp5js_en.html - download the zip and check content of the "03_euclidean_rhythm_generator" folder.
Hello,
That's great. Thank you very much. I'll spend some time investigating the resources.
Thanks again
I read what I wrote previously and it was a bit clunky. Sorry for that. So, by writing "huge topic" I mean, e.g. sequencing in Max can be done in many different ways and basically a lot of things depend on your preferences and what you want to do. You can build sequencers based on very different techniques and using different objects: seq, seq~, detonate, coll, techno~ and many more. Most of the methods are lists-friendly, so you may nearly always convert your lists (if the conversion is needed) to data driving some type of sequencer.
Hello,
OK, thanks. A lot to look into. Regarding your patch, I'm still learning how much the zl object can do.
Haha… yeah, zl is actually an entire family of list processors. I never memorised all of them.
Hello,
That makes sense. Thanks again for your help.
If you like programming in text languages, I made Scheme for Max to do this kind of thing. I use it to write algorithmic sequencers in Scheme (a lisp), and it's ideal for complex list manipulation. It embeds a Scheme interpreter as a Max object. One of the users is making Euclidean sequencers in it.
Hello,
Thank you for the offer. I'd be interested in taking a look, unfortunately it would be way over my head. I have no experience in programming. Hence questions on the forum. Any advice in relation to building sequencers in MAX would be much appreciated, also.
Thank you
For a non (text) programmer guide to sequencing with Max, Gregory Taylor's Book "Step by Step" is the ticket! Great Max book. :-)
I did write a tutorial for brand new programmers too, in case you want to check it out to decide if it's of interest! https://iainctduncan.github.io/learn-scheme-for-max/introduction.html
Hello,
Yes, I have the book. I'm trying to find out more information regarding sequencers for drums. Thanks for the link for the tutorial I'll have a look.
Mr Yaniki, are you still there? Can I ask about your patch. If I was to attempt to recreate it, is there a standard object I could use to replace the jweb object? Something like a matrixctrl?
Thank you both
