HELP !!! VERY STUCK ON UNI ASSESMENT

We won't do that for you, but we can help you to go through. Where are you stuck at? What do you have so far?

You are talking about a device, do you have to do a Max for Live device? Or a regular Max patch?

nowadays questions end with an exclamation mark... scary shit.

If you know what BPM actually stands for, then your halfway there .

Seriously , if you're already stuck with such a simple assignment and you expect others to solve it for you , the future does not seem bright .

!

If one needs 3 devices to shift audio a bit

then that university course that states it so is a bullshit in first place

@Zach: these assignments work a bit like textual math assignments in middle school. First step is to try to translate the task description into single steps using your own language. This way we one can ask more directed questions. Equally important in this step is to get to know which parts of the assignment you understand and which ones not yet.

If you get strong reactions here it’s usually because others feel someone is asking “bring me to Paris, please” instead of “how do I get to the train station”

My apologies if this came across as asking people to do this for me — this is not what I want at all. Merely a direction on where to start researching .

Context - My uni does not teach Max for Live/dsp in any way, shape, or form — nor Ableton. They primarily try to get people to use/teach Pro Tools.

I have been producing on Ableton Live since Live 9 and use Max for Live devices on a regular basis.

For my FMP assessment, I tasked myself with making a delay device of sorts, having zero knowledge of the node-based programming language.

I prototyped an idea in Ableton using stock devices and groups, and stupidly thought that if I can do that here, it shouldn't be too hard to make in Max for Live, right?

I was very wrong. I know what I want to do, but I have no idea where to look for the information on how to do it.

I should have properly elaborated this out the gate as to avoid any misconceptions

Max is not node-based programming language in first place.

but back to your thing.

all you need is a bit of delay for audio,

being live input or playback.

max has objects that directly translate tempo to beat in ms, samples,

ticks , whatever.

read help file of translate object.

(or use delay~ using note values instead of samples or ms)

when you get that value, you proceed by manipulating it

by that dial you mention.

by the way why ?

if you use 8th note, why do you need to modifiy it then ?

you could ignore it and use straight 231 ms for example.

makes no sense to me.

at the end it is a matter of inserting delay using final value,

for example tapin/tapout or delay~

here one example with +- 10 % of calculated delay time

samples or ms ...

in live you use plugin/out instead of adc/dac

Thank you ill be breaking down this example to understand what it does, and the 1/8th bar delay is going to be before a 1 delay of a parallel delay to essential create a swing delay ,if that makes sense
