How could be possible to spread every single grain of the buffer~ content into the stereo/multichannel audio field? I want to achieve this with no object, just with standard max msp object (no spindrift). This is just because I'm evaluating max potential as a programming language.

This would be fairly simple in Max: for stereo spread use the [thispoly~] object to extract the [poly~] voice number and use that index to place the voice/grain in a unique position. Varying that position is equally simple.

For a multichannel config use the voice index to send a grain to out1, out2, out3 etc in the same way. Varying the outputs dynamically might need a rethink, but still doable. Not at Max at the moment

Thank you Brendan. Looks like very simple. Max is amazing.

That's a journey!!


What do you mean for not arc max at the moment?

Haha, sorry. I just meant I'm not in front of my computer at the moment. I'll try to send a simple example to demonstrate my suggestion.

And here is a simple example; it uses the [poly~] object to load multiple instances of a single patch (just like "12.do{}" in another language, for example). Within the [poly~] object, [thispoly~] outputs the voice index number when it receives a "bang". You can then use this number to place each voice in a unique position, etc etc

what you define as a 'voice' is a single grain and I can use the index out from the poly to take that grain and do whatever I want. Exactly?

I also have another question: Does poly~ work also with script in another language?

Thank you Brendan.
So if I understood correctly:

Thank you very much
You're very kind


I only mentioned 'another language' in case you yourself were familiar with something like CSound or Supercollider. [poly~] won't work outside Max, but you might be able to build your own external if you are familiar with C.
