Issues using Seq
I am trying to record the midi output from kslider using makenote and note out however I cant seem to find how I can use seq in this situation. I want to be able to record the output, play it back and save it so you can play along side the recorded melody. I hope that makes sense. Any help would be very much appreciated
Post patch (compressed)
That will show what does not work and also why
your problem is midi input to seq.
if you open help file, you will see midiin directly connected to seq.
seq accepts ONLY raw midi messages, itered.
I don't really understand what is your midi flow,
are you generating chords manually, want to record them
in real time, and then playback in loop, playing melody on top ?
again from which midi source ?
and to which midi destination ?
with "compressed" I meant select all or part of your patch,
then use "Copy Compressed" in edit menu.
that can be pasted here and needs no downloads, which one has to trash later...
Hi Sorry about the copy thing I didnt know that! the chords are being generated using the first kslider when you push a note it generates a chord. Yes I want to record the chords then playback and be able to play the melody over the top.
Really appreciate your help, I hope I answered all your questions, sorry I am very new to max
I think that I gave you the answers how to fix input to seq, or ?
If that is not enough ...
here few mods to your patch
but that is far from any reasonable handling
of chord selection, recording & playback trigger etc
there's more basic mistakes here that seem to point to maybe needing to start with something simpler for sequencing... 'start'/'record'/'stop' shouldn't even be connected to 'notein' here:
i'd recommend maybe trying out the 'mtr' object for sequencing, even if it can be designed for so many different styles of control, it's easier to get into, i've commented this patch somewhat carefully but you'll want to look closely at the 'mtr' helpfile:
(there's also the 'seq~' object(not the same as 'seq') and many other ways to try sequencing events in general... since 'seq' requires special midi-formatting, and does not sync to tempo in the usual way(with tempo set relative to '1024'), it seems like it could be more confusing than necessary for beginners)
just my suggestion, hope it can help 🍻
Thank you so much!!
