Groove patch
Jan 14 2008 | 7:20 pm
Hi, I am trying to make a looper using groove~ modules.
I would like to use just standard max msp externals, and for this reason I am not using Xgroove~.
I've made some attempts but the looper doesn't work as expected, and I am running out of ideas.
The looper should handle sound files, allow adjustable crossfade (range in ms), and allow continuous variable speedrate.
Can someone help me?
Here's the patch I am working on at the moment.
Thank you very much,
Carlo
- Jan 14 2008 | 7:51 pmdid you want to crossfade between two separate soundfiles? if so, you need another buffer with another name.clean it up a bit, and I think you've basically got it
- Jan 14 2008 | 7:56 pmsome of this may help... one of the more important things to remember is to grab your loop point at signal-rate.jl
- Jan 15 2008 | 12:23 amwell, actually I need to loop a single soundfile using 2 groove~ modules crossfading each other.Carlo----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael" To: Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 8:51 PM Subject: [maxmsp] Re: Groove patch> > did you want to crossfade between two separate soundfiles? > if so, you need another buffer with another name. > > clean it up a bit, and I think you've basically got it
- Jan 15 2008 | 12:26 amHi thanks for your help, what do you mean for "example config of loop"? Doesn't snapshot good enough to grab the loop points? Actually, it is a signal-rate value.

- Jan 16 2008 | 6:45 amsnapshot converts a signal- at audio rate- control rate data stream at a given time interval. it's not as efficient, and you'll not see any more accuracy with this methodology. it does work really well for other types of patches, but i tend to try to stay away from it because of the amount by which it taxes the CPU.instead i'd recommend the delta~ reading; for more info on this check the archives.as for the "example"; it's just an example of some loop points you might want to set along with another example of a way to set them dynamically.jl

- Jan 17 2008 | 1:36 amHi Stefan, Thank you very much for your insight. I don't understand why Groove~ modules stop playing and crossfading if I play the loop in reverse (setting -1 speedrate, for example). Playing loops in reverse is one of the things I need the most.. Can you help me?
