Gexe

im trying to build a beat slicer that will act somwhat like Acid in that it

will strech a sample to the right legth for the tempo that is being played.

also it will slice the sample in varying places specified by me ( so it

dosnt sound like pooo) each of those slices will be activated by Key

commands. and willplay only when the previous clip has compleated. thats

where i need your help. what is a good way of buffering a command untill the

current clip is done playing? anything would help :)

if i havn't been clear enough just ask about what your confused about

I understand what you're after and can only envy the work you have in store for yourself =) .. It'll take some work to get to that point but it's quite possible. Sorry I can't be more helpful... have you started working through the tutorials?

Your plan sounds ambitious but your actual question should be easy to solve. [line~] gives a bang when it finished playing. You could connect that bang to [zl queue].

Have you considered time-stretching your sampleloop (assuming that it is neatly cut to 2^x beats) and then slicing on every beat? That way you won't have to do 'intelligent' transient detection.

1) with a granular playback system (although there are no granular systems available for max that I know of that will stretch without artifacts)

2) by playing back your sample slower and pitch shifting back to original pitch.

btw, let me know when

becomes available for max ;)

i was kinda thinking along the lines of opption # 2. it seems like it would

also how can there be no granular systems for max? didn't they make Hippno

with max objects?? i mean it has plenty of objects geared tward granular

work abit better.

also how can there be no granular systems for max? didn't they make Hippno
with max objects?? i mean it has plenty of objects geared tward granular
such as Stutter~ and the like
