Loop points with counter
Hi Guys,
I've benn trying to implement this somehow, but always gave up at the end...
The basic idea is to create a counter (1-16), where you can say that from 5-9 loop the steps/stages for example 9 times.
My attempts were terrible. Unstable and unusable.
Is there an "easy" way to do this?
Are you saying you want a counter which counts like this:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...(x9 repetitions of 5-9), 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 1, 2, 3....
If that's the case could you consider something which after the right-most outlet of counter hits 5 it triggers/bangs something which dynamically changes the min/max of counter to 5 to 9 for x9 repititions after which the min max is returned to 1 / 16?
Apologies if I'm misunderstanding or being really dense...I'm both new to max and away from my computer at present, but I've been attempting to get my head round counter recently so this piqued my interest.
Hi Geof,
Thats right, I'd like to implement that somehow.
I'm working on updating my seq project, and this wold be a really awesome addition.
I've done something which works, but not really good. The problem is the patch is huge, for only 1 loop point already, but I'd like to implement the loop point feature for every step.
For example, on step one, the loop is set to 2-3 for 2 times and the loop point on step 2 is set to 1-5 for 3 times, the final counter should like this :
1 2 3 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
I think you'd need another counter for the 2-3 interval, and another one for the amount of how many times should it loop...the problem is that I have to figure out a simple way for this, cause what I have now, it's a mess, and unstable etc...
This is my attempt, with 2 loop points.
Actually, I'd be happy with this for now...
But, have to change the main counter from live.step to counter...
