my new patch is inspired by something i saw on the internet called "Coconut – Step-Sequenced Mbiras"

http://butterfliesinthewind.com/coconut-mbira-sequencer/

i'm not sure how popular this instrument is in this forum or in the world,

but this is something i'm really into right now.

i have been collecting and (unsuccessfully) making so-called kalimbas when i saw the web-page so i thought i'd do my version of this.

(it is a max/msp4 patch, which i'm not sure about the compatibility with max6...)

the graphic is much less impressive than the original but it has its own things.

wah-wah, which is somewhat the essential of kalimba performance, delay, granular efx, and reverb.

also you can tune and detune the keys, which is another realistic feature, because kalimba is usually (doesn't to have to be though) out of tune a little bit.

it is handcrafted by a japanese kalimba artist, ryuichi koike.

if you search his name on youtube you can get some ideas of what he does.

the sound samples of each key are included in the zip file.

if you want to try your own version, please feel free.

Wonderful, thanks a lot. I just love your work.

It doesn't work out of the box on Max 6 though due to buffer~ parsing errors.

unable to edit the patch, though...

oops. one more time...
http://ondomusic.com/mesa.elech.tele/mchn_aie/kelimba6.maxpat


so i did try this patch in max6 and it didn't give me buffer~ errors.

there may be max4-max6 issues as well as win-mac issues too...

Afaik pictctrl doesn't like bmp files, at least on mac - i'll try a M6 version later...

cool - nice interface & sounds. does anyone have the zip for "Coconut – Step-Sequenced Mbiras" which is giving me a 404 errror

Hey man nice work! Really pleased Coconut gave you a bit of inspiration. Kelimba has a lovely vibe - I especially like the drone effect you can create with it. :D

Oli sorry for the broken link, I fixed it:
