sync'ing looper


    Here's a little sync'ing looper I did.it can be synced via a phasor,but you may also use it un-synced.
    it's done with gen~ in max7 ,but the looper itself will also work with max6.
    the patch should be self-explanatory.
    keep on loop'in

      Hey rbrt,
      I know it's a bit of an ask, but is there any chance you could comment the gen~ code?

      also, is there any way to attenuate the overdub? That's kind of a default feature for loopers, one I really love. Like an oldskool delay, letting things ring out.

      @WETTERBERG: hm I don't exactly understand...fade-out after you stopped overdubbing? maybe you can send me a link

      Basically a knob controlling the feedback.

      ah I get it...feedback determines how much of the already recorded material is kept while overdubbing.
      personally,I don't see much sense in setting feedback to anything other than 100%.. which is the default when 'overdub' is on with the patch. but I will show you where to acces this when I'm done documenting the code...

      thanks. Yeah, you should really experiment with recording into a looper at 70% or something.

      ...so,here we go with an attempt to document the code..and with a cheapo 'feedback'- implementation.
