Overdubbing Buffers
Hi all -
Sorry if this is a silly question, but I've recently been working on part of a patch that features 20(ish) ~groove controlled ~Buffer objects, playing back audio input at different speeds and sizes. However, each batch of 10 Buffers can be switched to record simultaneously if needed, therefore creating an interesting looped soundscape effect. However, I was wondering if it is at all possible to 'Overdub' on the Buffer object, or if there is maybe a third party external that has this capability? At the moment, clicking record wipes the old audio to make way for the next input. It's not a big deal, but it would just make things easier if it could be done without needing to have many of these groups of ten buffers.
Thank you very much!

Check Thomas Grill's xsample library, especially the [xrecord~]
external which has a very handy "mixmode" feature.

I actually haven't gotten to this part of max yet, but the way I would
do it is just take the output of the buffer that is playing, loop it
back, mix it with the new input audio and send it into the buffer again.
Quick and dirty. I think that's the way it should work, anyway.
HTH.

UB version?

Spectacular, thank you very much!
Good question - I have a working UB on the machine in
front of me, but I'm not sure where i got it from: the
.help file gives the same URL as posted below, but I
can't see a UB version there either...
cheers

If you record with poke~, you can just readout the old sample and add it
to the new one, or in simple words: play~ the same buffer~ a bit ahead
of the record head and just mix both...
Should be possible with plain vanilla MSP objects. No 3rd party required...
