Drum Box V3.3 (20th May 2013)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
a xox sequencer with a simple user interface and efficient functions. This patch is nice & cpu friendly :-)

The sequencer is derived from the Skinner Box M4L device as I like the sequencer look & feel. The functions proposed were also very pertinent.

I also took some ideas from the Elektron Octatrack (LFOs...) and Arturia Spark looping function (Loop/Divide...).

** Use this patch with drum rack or any synth to create easily nice sounds!

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Main Functions
- WRITE // easily drum lines (or melody)
- SAVE // Patterns are automatically saved and reloaded in your live set,
- FLAM // You can make sort of FLAM - LoopDivide from Arturia Spark machine.
- CHAIN // You can CHAIN Patterns (i.e. SONG mode).
- LFOs // to modulate any parameters like on the Octatrack :-)
- PRE-FILLED patterns (71 in total)
- SWING function
- TRANSPOSE function
- each parameter value (lfo, settings, midi notes...) can be saved into different presets making this plug-in very flexible and creative ;-)

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Other functions
- You can change the midi velocity for each row -> VOL from 0 to 127 maximum.
- You can add accent. Each accent row can have a specific value .. from 0 to 127 maximum.
- You can randomize the rows
- You can change the direction, playing forward or reverse
- You can select the speed for each row -> 1/16, 1/8, 1/32, etc.
- You can change the midi notes for each rows (C1 , C#2 ...)
- you can change the length of the track from 1 step to 16 steps..
- all the functions can be mapped on your favorite midi controller, you can thus control the length of your track in real time making Repeat Effects. You can play with volumes of accents, etc!
- SOLO Function
- You can create several tracks using several drum box.
- You can save all your patterns on your hard disk.

New in Version 3.3
- performance improvements: the 4 patterns recall do not hang anymore (making a glitch noize).

New in Version 3.0
- 4 patterns can be recalled (on the fly) using your favorite midi controller (quneo, launchpad, mpk...)
- slight changes in the User Interface
- yes I jump from from 3.0 to 3.3 ;-)

New in Version 2.9
- pattern length are now saved correctly into the presets
- to start the loop divide effect, you need to ARM it first!
- minor correction in user interface
- you can swap this tool from previous version without loosing your presets/patterns.
- big thanks to Rasmus Fris for debugging my tool :-)

AnalogKick: Bass Drum Synth

Andrew Benson

Drums and rhythm are a foundational element of electronic music especially, and every artist has their preferences in how they should sound. Drum voices can also be a fun sound design challenge for Max patching. For this community project, we invited four artists to each create their unique take on a classic kick, snare, hi-hat, or tom voice, along with a sequencer that puts this whole collection into action.

“I consider the Kick drum to be the foundation of a lot of music, perhaps not the leader, but the foundation. Over the years I’ve spent too many days, months, and years working on designing Kick drums that ended up overly convoluted. What I love about the new additions to Max 8.3 is that I was able to make a simple Kick drum patch that one can coax a variety of Kick styles from with just eight objects. Have fun!” - Tom Hall

"This snare takes the classic model and adds a few new ideas, such as some FM on the body to add a bit of crack, and rather than white noise, random frequencies can be dialled high for the classic sound, or low for some digital crunch. A filter is included to add more tone." - Ned Rush

"My approach to designing this hit hat synth is based on the use of noise object as generator and curve to produce an envelope. Then play around with some classic hi-pass filter by integrating two possibilities the onepole~ and lores~ which adds some resonance control. I'm using the filtergraph because it's a beautiful piece of gui and finally add some craziness with a ping pong delay." - Leslie García

"I wanted to make some toms that could emulate the bouncy chaos of an over-caffeinated drummer playing the 3 toms on a small pawn shop drum kit, but with options for extra randomness and dirt. I also wanted it to be able to just be a single simple tom. I just started learning Max and I've mostly built sample-driven patches, so this one made me stretch. Big hugs to Tony Obr for the feedback, cheat codes, and sage advice, like: you can never have too many multiplication tildes." - too__hands
