[sharing]Physical modelling string instrument
Hi, just about finished my first m4l instrument and hoping you guys want to give it a try! After a few weeks of max4live'ing I can now say I am totally hooked.
Some parts of the patch (the biquads) where taken from - Danny -'s patch in this thread
theres a few images and presets so i'm not going to do the ---begin patcher--- code stuff.
get it as direct download zip
or at a page with to-do list and screenshot here
to install copy into a folder where you and m4l can find them.
There is one major issue with my patch though (actually two)
- Slider labels don't display correctly eventhough they've been set in the bpatcher
- When multiple instances of this patch are loaded they all have the same sound! Seems like the sliders work for all instances.
- maybe other issues. Please let me know.
- any advise on the midi and live side would be helpful
Other comments as well
this was actually my first post at the forum.
cheers!
hi texugo, cool patch.
small advices, hope helps:
you need to rename ALL of your sends and receives objects with "---" before them. e.g. - "s ---texugosdata" (this is a bit like the "#0-..." method). that way every instance of the device will be independent of eachother. at the moment you are sending all your data globally around the live set.
also, you might want to name your 'live.' gui objects and consider which ones to expose to the live automation / preset system or not (in the inspectors) to fully leverage the power of m4l!
also, have you looked in to m4l device 'freezing'? this would enable you to pack everything into one object. although not your live-preset files, which is a shame. on that note, none of your included presets worked for me. this might have something to do with not freezing the device before making them i think (not sure to be honest though).
nice work, good luck...
Thanks pid, exactly the reply I was hoping for!
I'll rework those sends and sliders straight away, hopefully this will solve the preset issue too. Doing the presets the way I did seemed the most straightforward. Initially there was a (max)preset object, but using Live presets seems to be the preferred way
After that i'll freeze it.
Great tips!
It should work now :)
Hi guys! Sorry, this link is (old, I know) broken.
Is there any chance to be able to download the patch?
Thank you very much,
all the best!
