Help to build a sampler with effects using the LIVID Ohm64 MIDI controller
Hello,
I would like to ask some help to build a patch to use the Ohm64 controller as a sampler of 64 sounds with the following functions based in the picture attached below:
1-Assign 64 sounds to each button of the 8x8 grid repeating in a loop.
2-Play/Stop buttons to stop the loops.
3-Pan left/right and vice versa in one know (it does not matter if is located at left or right) preferably the first starting from left.
3-Volume fader applied to all samples, (one control to rule them all).
4-And finally a plugin or abstraction assigned to each of the 8 parameters of the Device control.
I know it is difficult but I would thank a lot to build this or tell me how should I do.
Thanks in advance.
Please, Anyone can help?.
Well, you'll have to break it down in steps, like:
- build a looping sampler (one voice) as you like it
- make your sampler polyphonic (maybe with poly~, in which case you'll break into small steps, starting with simple poly~ examples, etc.)
- refine what else you want in the software part of your instrument ("plugins", etc.)
- the easiest step is the mapping to your controller: either you use the Max 8 built-in "MIDI mapping" software, or you use the traditional [notein][ctlin] objects. Both are easy, so you choose your favorite way.
Building the sampler as you like it, that's what's going to take time.
Jean-François thanks for reply. I am newbie, How should I do for make the sample polyphonic?. Please, Can you attach an example patch?.
There's a tutorial for that, Mr. Path. In fact, the MSP tutorials cover much of the scope of the subtasks Jean-Francois has laid out, and they're built right into Max. Click on the magnifying glass icon in any patcher window, and type in keywords like "sampler" and "poly~."
Scroll down to the Documentation tab, where you'll find tutorials listed. Those tutorials contain sample patches you can start with as you learn. Here are a couple of examples.

Exploring polyphony with the poly~ object: https://docs.cycling74.com/max7/tutorials/11_polychapter01
Good luck with your project!
Thanks!.
Has the tutorials that you attach .maxpat files?.
Those tutorials are available either by using the Search feature of Max (which I described first), or by looking at the online versions. The tutorials that came with Max contain the sample patches.
Thanks. How should I do to control a specific parameter of a plugin?, I think is something about MIDI mapping but I am a bit lost. I only want to control one parameter not the others.
Again - you have a search facility built right in to the program. I would suggest you click on that magnifying glass, type in something... um.... "MIDI mapping" and see what you get.
If you're working with a Max for Lives device, then you'd probably use standard Live stuff.
Ok!, thx.
