How about showing your friend how easy it is to modify one of those

patches right before his eyes.

short answer

check out percolates gen10 or gen9. it'll do additive stuff, you

can control all the harmonics. as many as you want.

If you're looking for something readymade, check out Jitter Recipe 35:

Paramination in Jitter Recipe Book 3 in the In-Depth section of the

website. The synth-module in that patch requires 10 parameters (all in

the range 0.-1.). If you need more than 10, throw a comb-filter or

something in there.

Happy Patching!

Thanks for the suggestion Andrew

I've downloaded paramination but it appears that I can not open the .zip folder it is contained within. Do you have any suggestions here? I've tried everything to unzip the download but nothing seems to do it!

Thanks,

Max.

Hi Max,

It's just a standard .zip file. If it won't unzip using stuffit or the

OS, you may have a corrupted download. Maybe try using a different

browser...

Here's the patch:

Hello Andrew,

I see now that you're the author! May I just ask of your thinking behind this patch and how each of the components work and work together? I don't believe that I will incorporate the jitter elements of this patch into the demo for my friend, just the MSP components.

I see the synth module section at the end. What are the parameters for each of these inputs? Would it be possible to simply copy this last section and incorporate it into a patch that aleady has controllers creating 10 parameter numbers (10 sections of this synth object).

Thanks,

Max.

Andrew, just one more thing! I've copied and pasted this last section of your patch into mine and on some of the parameters the sound just cuts out. With the others it appears to not make much of a difference to the sound. I'm sure i'm doing something wrong!

Look forward to your reply...

Thanks,

Max.

Hi Max,

Based on your recent posts, it sounds like it is time for you to read

the tutorials. The synthesis module in this patch is a pretty

straightforward example of FM synthesis with a filter and some delay

modulation. There is nothing particularly tricky about it. If you want

to learn more about building synthesizers, I highly recommend the MaxMSP

tutorials at www.creativesynth.com

Happy Patching!
