I've been tring for a while now to get this to work to no avail. Hopefully, somebody out there will be able to help.

I am attempting to create a basic loop sampler which can be controlled via a PS2 style controller. The buttons 1-4 will control sample banks, the triggers will hopefully control tempo whilst the thumbsticks will act as turntables. I want to be able to use the analog-thumbsticks to speed up/slow down the samples (similar to that of a turntable effect when you drag the vinyl back and forth). My problem is this, when I move the thumbsticks about I am given a lot of different values, and these seem to change everytime I move the thumbsticks depending on how fast/slow I move them. I have been trying for ages to figure out a way in which I can assign these values to affect the speed but everytime I try to do so, the speed of the sample speeds up/slows down in increments that are way too much. 

I hope this made sense, and I really hope somebody out there understands what it is i'm trying to achieve and has some answers. I am a desperate man and any help is greatly appreciated.

ll yust have to divide the output value by a more pleasant interval.. maybe useing something like route to strip id

as far as im able to understand youll yust have to divide the output value by a more pleasant interval.. maybe useing something like route to strip ids n stuff

the thing is, you get a range from 0 to 127 becouse thats one byte.

and 127 is the maximum number of bit configurations in one byte.

I assume that you have a joystick being read out by an HI-boject. Just scale it: [scale 0 32000 0. 2.] (you have to replace 32000 with whatever the maximum output of your joystick is and 2. with whatever value you want to get. You probably want it to go back and forth: [scale -32000 32000 -2. 2.]

Don't forget the periods after the output numbers.

The thumbsticks each send out two values: x and y. You have to separate them in the datastream from HI by using [unpack]

thanks for the replies. This is where I'm getting confused I think. Originally I was of the impression that only 0-127 can be assigned to perform certain actions. Whereas when I move the thumbsticks about, the Max window shows the following attachment:

In the .jpeg you can see that by moving the thumbstick from center to left, back to center, then to right and finally back to center again it kicks out all of these values. I just have no idea as to how those values can be assigned to control the speed of a sample. Another problem is that when I repeat these movements, the resulting values change slightly depending on the speed of the thumbstick movement....the faster I move them, the less values etc.

I'm really confused about the whole thing and am not really sure of what I should be looking at.

To be pedantic, 0..127 is 7-bit resolution, not one byte (normally 

understood as 8 bits). As it is, the OP didn't provide enough 

information to know whether this is a scaling problem or not.

Hi, and thanks again for the replies. I had seen that article before andrewb and I get the jist of it for the most part. My only real issue (at the moment) is turning the values from the thumbsticks into something that easier translates to speed-of-sample. I'll check out the [scale] object as a couple of people have suggested to do so. As you can surely tell, I am a complete noob and find a lot of the numerical data somewhat hard to grasp at times. I will get it in the end.

P.S. I was planning on using the trigger buttons on the control pad to move up and down BPM. I'm sure it has something to do with tempo. My question though, is this:

Will using these triggers as BPM step-up/down controllers in any way interfere with what I will have going on with the thumbstick controls?

it`s yust a resolution increase by the power of 8.

so you got a controller thats more sensetive than yr

yeah yust divide by more.

it's funny you should mention pitch-bending, as this was my initial thought. Is this just as easy to do? Also, how would I go about doing it? hehe

if you change the speed of your wave player the pitch changes.

Well....basically... I am trying to make a patch that acts as a loop sampler and can be controlled via a PS2 style controller.

The left and right bumper buttons will control the sample playing for each side. Left bumper starts and stops a sample which will be controlled via the left thumb-stick and vice versa.

The left and right triggers will control the BPM by shifting it up or down by one at a time.

Buttons one, two, three and four (the standard four-button array)will act as sample banks.

The left and right thumbstick should act as the left and right turntable. Therefore, I would need the thumbsticks to manipulate the samples playing on each side. To create the vinyl-like effect of dragging/scratching/rewinging/flicking on, I am assuming that I will need to use the thumbsticks to alter the sample speed?

I hope this makes sense...that's pretty much my whole idea in a really basic explaination.

Yet again, any help is much appreciated...for I am indeed...a desperate man.

I'm still having no joy whatsoever assigning the values from my analog thumbsticks from the PS2 controller to affecting audio.

I am able to manipulate the audio with the thumbstick by using the [scale] function. It just doesn't work in the way I need it to work.

When I rotate the thumbstick, I want the audio to act as though it is a vinyl being manually moved round. So essentially, rotating a thumbstick backwards would have a rewind like effect. The faster you rotate, the faster (higher pitched) the audio sample gets and vice-versa. I also want to be able to use the thumbsticks to "scratch" audio.

I just don't have a clue at this point in time...

[waveform~] , combine it with groove~ , also zigzag~ might be a nice place to start. Check the scrub sampler in the examples and modify it to control parts with your joystick!

The goal you set is reachable, just experiment with the examples and try to get your plan thought through!

Thanks for the reply....i'll check them out now.

> When I rotate the thumbstick, I want the audio to act as though it is a vinyl being manually moved round. So essentially, rotating a thumbstick backwards would have a rewind like effect. 

This is the main problem: The thumbsticks aren't made to be rotated, 

they act as an X/Y coordinate - that is perhaps why you

have been confused by the numbers you are seeing?

The easiest thing to set up would be to make the effect when moving the 

thumbstick up/down or left/right, not in a circle. IF you absolutely 

NEED to move them in a circle you should look at the [cartopol] and 

[poltocar] objects, which will turn the X/Y into Angle and Distance... 

but there would be some math involved, and you'd still need to scale

That's pretty much how I have been trying to think of it, since the rotation thing hasn't worked so far.

Two soundbanks (left and right shoulder buttons)

Uptempo and downtempro (left and right trigger buttons)

Music loops for right-thumbstick (buttons 2 and 4, from the 1-4 array)

Samples for scratching with via the left-thumbstick (buttons 1 and 3, from the 1-4 array)

Whilst I want the right-thumbstick to have some (mild) controls over the music loops, the left thumbstick will be used to scratch short samples over the top.

Thing is, i've tried the left-right and top-bottom things before, but I just can't get it to feel responsive enough to scratch anything worth listening to. Would this be an issue because the scratch sample is on a loop? Should I be triggering these sounds if and when I interact with the thrumbstick?

That could be because of a number of different factors, which I can't 

know without hearing a sample or seeing a patch in person (with the 

relevant controller, etc.). You might need smoothing on the control 

values from the stick, or you may need to treat the audio differently. 

Also, you would need a way to cut the sample too, since simply going

back and forth over a sound is very 80s.

As my audio files were originally in a loop, I now have the problem of making it work so that the sample only starts when triggered and stops when left alone.

So basically, as the thumbstick is pushed upward, the sample starts. As the thumbstick is returned to the center position I want the sample to stop.

hmmm...Good point. Perhaps I could make it so that the right trigger acts as a mute for the right thumbstick? This would mean that I'd have to alter the tempo/bpm some other way.

Would there be a way in which I can use the 128 value from the trigger to move volume to zero whilst the 0 value of the trigger moves the volume back up to say 115? This would act as a ducking system as the value of 0 occurs automatically when the trigger is release.

ok...so I now have the trigger acting as a cutoff button, and when it is released the volume goes back to normal (115). Now I have to work on the sample manipulation for the right thumbstick. As at the moment, it just kinda cuts in, as opposed to speeding up/slowing down with movement.

Is there anybody out there who can tell me where i'm going wrong with this patch?

It's a simple idea, but what a nightmare it's become. I want to use the right-thumbstick just the way it works at the moment.

In addition to this, I want the left thumbstick to have a small amount of control over the four loops that will be assigned to the four buttons (eg. w,x,y,z). I want two sound banks each with four sounds in...one for left stick, one for right.

I added the first of my samples for the four buttons, now ehenever I play the sound assigned to the right thumbstick, it distorts. But! When it is played at the same time as the newly added sample....it plays fine....what the hell?!?!

Hopefully somebody out there will be able to understand what I mean. Sometimes I confuse myself...hehe.

P.S. I have uploaded my mess-of-a-patch (laugh if you must at it's simplicity)

I can imagine, with that total lack of cable hygiene...

I took the liberty of unravelling a bit of it, see if this still works 

like the other one, and I can try to work out what's wrong from here.

Hi there...I will try that as soon as I get back from work. Thanks for replying.

Hi there...I will try that as soon as I get back from work.  Thanks for replying.

Hi again...sorry, forgot to answer your questions.

A: With the right thumbstick (combined with down on the d-pad and the right trigger) I am able to manipulate the audio samples by speed/pitch, cutting the volume in and out and start/stopping the sample. This is fine and i'd like to leave this as is.

Q: What kind of "small amount of control"?

A: As far as the left thumbstick is concerned, all I want to be able to do is drag the stick down to pause the audio....just to achieve the kind of effect you would get when pressing the stop button on the turntable.

P.S. I have only been using Max/MSP for a couple of months (on and off) so please bare with me. Also, how do I convert those lines of code into a tangible file that I can open with Flash?

Hi guys. I've started yet another patch in an attempt to make this work. So far I like the way it's functioning and the only thing I really need to know (at the moment) is how to use a single button (when the thumbstick is clicked) to flick between four different samples.

I have so far managed to use the gate which allows me to choose between two, but I need to be able to choose between four.

I have posted my patch (in text format this time) below:

Thanks in advance if you do, I appreciate it.

I've just spent a while trying (in vain) to get to grips with the cartopol object. I'm finding hard to figure out where it is I need to connect the outputs of the x/y thumbstick values to with regards to it. In the help file it shows the rotational effect that I am definately after, but I think (for me) it's maybe a bit too complicated to grasp with the help file alone. At least at the stage I am currently at.

Hello Peter,
           I've just spent a while trying (in vain) to get to grips with the cartopol object.  I'm finding hard to figure out where it is I need to connect the outputs of the x/y thumbstick values to with regards to it.  In the help file it shows the rotational effect that I am definately after, but I think (for me) it's maybe a bit too complicated to grasp with the help file alone.  At least at the stage I am currently at.
