I'm a beginner and I'm trying to make a patch where I can send bang messages using my laptop keyboard which each correspond to a different make note and then have it looped and playback in the same time that I played them (with my keyboard using the "key" object). The goal being to basically create a song in real time by playing a few notes with an instrument having that looped and then continuing on with another instrument. Sorry if this is either too easy, hard, or not possible. Thank you!

i went a bit overboard on creating a patch that can help you get started, ah well, now you can take it to even more advanced levels, like adding effects and such:

[edit: oh sorry, try adding @loop to the groove~ object same as with mtr... like [groove~ jumpylooper @loop 1] and it will be extra loopy for ya :D]

In Max/MSP, use "key" to trigger MIDI notes from your laptop keyboard. Record notes into a buffer with "poke" and play them back using "play" or "groove~" for looping. Expand with multiple instruments. Experiment with MIDI control for real-time song creation.
