I'm very new to Max/MSP and have had to design something for my Uni course. The aim of the project was to be able to have an input of some kind and enable the user to do live, real-time sound processing.

I'm creating a 'loopstation' (a common topic I believe on these forums) and have gotten to the point in which I have 2 channels devoted to input i.e. From a Mic and 4 channels for samples.

What I want to know is how I can play 1 channel say, drums, and then at any point press play on a bassline and have it come in on time?? I presume I'll need a counter of some sort which can be triggered by any one of the play buttons?

P.s. Attached is my Screenshot of the project as it stands. I am aware that i have multiple DAC's and am going to re-route it all to one eventually once the problem above has been solved

Hi, You have several choices, depending on length of the samples used.

Let's say if You have all the samples of the same length, like multitrack song,

You could just let them all run and mute/ unmute tracks.

If You have a Drum Loop, and other tracks are multiple lengths of it,

That could be as simple as Loop turnover Bang from Groove to trigger playback start on other

track, or some kind of global transport locked sync.

And I can't see any attatchments, that happens to me also all the time,

don't get accepted.
I can't figure out why.
