Harp sound
Hello,
I'm new to Max MSP.
I'm trying to create a harp sound through Max MSP.
I've set up the following patch, but it still doesn't sound like a harp.
Does somebody have any ideas how to make it sound more like a harp.
I think adding resonance to the sound could help.
Thanks in advance!!
The quality of the harp sound is going to largely depend on the MIDI implementation you're using.
I tried your patch on Mac OS X 10.8 with the built-in MIDI library, and it sounded as I would expect (functional but nothing to write home about). You'd probably get a sexier sound with one of the commercial orchestral MIDI libraries (Garritan or whatever).
Once you've sent messages to [noteout] or any of the other MIDI out objects, you've left the Max world. You can get the sound back into Max using JACK or Soundflower, then add reverb (or whatever) in MSP, then sent it back out to your sound output. Just watch out for feedback loops!
Thanks Peter for the fast response!
I looked at Garritan and it has the exact harp sound I was looking for.
The problem is that one note has to be activated by a sensor.
I've hooked up the arduino with sensors with max msp.
If the sensor is activated, the arduino sends this to max msp.
Max msp then sends a value to makenote to activate the sound.
Can I , if i understand it correctly, use Jack or soundflower as bridge between max msp and garritan?
I put in the whole patch so it's more understandable.
Thanks in advance!
you just use the noteout you have set up already - Set its output to Garritans midi input and you're off.
Thanks for the response!
Downloaded JACK for windows but can't get it working.
Any ideas what the problem can be?
I got the server running from jack and selected it in DSP settings in max, but garittan still doesn't pop up from the noteout.
Thanks in advance!
I got it sort of working with Loopbe1 only windows 8 f**** it up.
Thanks for the help guys!
tried midiox?
