Help with a M4L patch : clip combos presets
Mar 15 2014 | 6:50 pm
Hi, i am currently writing a patch to use in my gigs. The goal is to be able to trigger different combinations of clips plus a selected scene.So the concept is :- play a combination of playing clips plus a selected scene
- hit 'capture'
- store the combination in a preset
Each playing clip slot's number is contained in a numbox. What i'd like to do is that, when it's -2, it stops any playing clip in that track, and when it's -1, it just does nothing. Otherwise it triggers the clip index according to the number (THIS PART WORKS)Any help would be great !!

- Mar 19 2014 | 5:13 pmdamn, i can't seem to be able to post a patch here. Is the forum buggy on your side as well ? my mail is louiswarynski(that'smyname)@gmail.dot.com Thanks !
- Mar 19 2014 | 6:32 pmHi, is that what you're looking for?
- Mar 19 2014 | 8:10 pmThank you !! i'll have a deeper look tomorrow, but for now, i can tell that blocking -1 with route doesn't work because the pack object retains the former value anyway so it just retrigger the previous clip. i'll come back here if i don't figure it out by myself. sopping clips with -2 seems to work well. Thanks again, louis
- Mar 19 2014 | 8:20 pmhi. yes, sorry, there's a 't 0' missing from the -1 outlet into the gate to close it...
- Mar 20 2014 | 9:32 amperfect ! thank you so much !!
- Mar 20 2014 | 11:32 amno problemo :)
- Mar 22 2014 | 4:28 pmI am working on another side of the patch : once i've made presets of clips, i want the next preset to be launched after a given amount of time (basically a song would be a succession of consecutive presets with different lengths). This is my attempt, but not really successful. The idea is when you trigger a preset, it sets a new time in timepoint for each preset. Maybe i am going in the wrong direction ? (PS : pasting patches in text format doesn't work nowadays ?)
- Mar 22 2014 | 6:23 pmhi. will take a look tomorrow... you should be able to "copy compressed" from MAX and then paste into the editor...
- Mar 23 2014 | 9:51 amHi, so are you looking to have each preset play for a specific number of bars?
