this is the patch i have been playing live with for the last 2 years or so.

hopefully it will work for anyone with pd-extended. i have a feeling that some bits woN't work on windows though.

i have included a bunch of samples, but you can delete them and add your own if u want.

yeah nice patch hardoff!
i like the fact that it is simple, and fun, to play with
thanks for sharing!

Incredible piece of work Hardoff, and big-hearted sharing.

Thanks!

I'm going to hope to be able to build up an appropriate bank of new sounds so as to standby as a back-up performer with this for CeC & CaC next year. See; http://www.theaea.org/cec_cac/ceccac08/

Performed last year with a hotch-potch of Pd patches, Reason, and MidiVid, in the amateur slot, primarily so as to discover and demonstrate whether a motivated individual here in India could make himself a simple controller and then slap together some software so as to do such a thing.

No amateur slot this time~:o)

You guys must look to jump aboard sometime into the future.

Keep well ~ Shankar

oh yeah, i'd love to go to india!

Well, we'd just love to have you!!

And, wouldn't that just wake up ye olde India International Centre too~:o)

As things stand, we are actually full up on almost all counts with regard to CeC & CaC 2008.

H_o_w_e_v_e_r, I strongly suspect that one of the scheduled performers will probably have to cancel his participation sometime soon.

And, if you want the slot, I will then immediately come back to you with it.

The only UNmusical note is that we can't pay you a penny. At best, we *might* be able to get you a discounted room in the IIC guesthouse, where most of the incoming participants are already booked in,... and that too, only if you can confirm your participation quick enough.

But, we do work very hard to make it worth everyone's while to pile in, and I think that it's an indicator of our success in this regard that good folks love to come back for this most peculiar madness that we've got going. In fact, our palsied 22min. "internal" videofilm of the blast (edit: in Feb-2007) was actually telecast nationally across India this summer, and then, it all somehow also got listed by 'Time Out Delhi' amongst the 'best' 15 art/cultural festivals due up in Delhi over the coming "season" (LOL~:o)!!

So, the whole situation is marvellously almost out of our control by now, and it would be great to have you help crank that all up.

And, what country do you belong to? ~ just in case I am already in touch with your embassy here, or some other such possibly useful thing.

Keep well ~ Shankar

Truly awesome patch. I have been messing around with it and am in absolute awe. I want to try and find a way to create a set list for this patch so in addition to having a random mode, I could create a set list and have the files come up in a specific order. I have worked with max patches that do this, but am new to pd. Have you ever tried anythign like that?

to set up a set list,

...the arrays storing the sound files are all numbered, so you could use those numbers to order the loops.

or else, maybe have a look at this object: [msgfile]

or this one: [playlist]

yes, i did try to make everything nice and organized at one point. with different folders for bass and drums and whatnot...but the chaotic stuff kept winning me over,,,

That's chaos that makes sense~:o)

However, how come you didn't build in a sampler, so as to record new files into the collection on the fly?

Keep well ~ Shankar

thanks for the suggestions. What I ended up doing was just adding a couple of keys that advance to the next array or the previous array. Since the arrays load the files alphabetically from the audioloops folder, I just numbered the files in the set order.

So now I use my folder window as a view of the set list, i have keys to advance through the files in order, and the last mod I made was to create a viewer that shows which array (file) is playing that I can scroll through to jump to a specific file. I'm goign to add some volume controls and perhaps another track or two.

This thing is loads of fun to play with......

it does work on windows. Why is this so great? Your spectacular.

would love to see what you've done with the patch fkmooney if you'd like to upload it

thanks again for this introduction to PD Hard-off...
I'm loving this app

whats up?

do you have pd-extended?
are you running it on windows?
as he says there gona be problems runing this patch other o.s. different than mac or linux.
there are problems in pd-extended installation for some objects, like spigot~. you have to look up for the solution for each one or... change yout s.o.
meaybe these http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-1181-spigot gona help you.
goodluck

I was on windows using pd-extended. I have however just (finally!!) gotten extended to compile properly on linux, so now I get to try again

Thanks for the reply

GREAT

it works on linux... thanks

Just fantastic work, man. Thanks for including all the loops that you did - I'm a total home noodler and this is just fantastic amounts of fun.

This spigot~ object is annoying for windows users.
I tried several times to get it, to find the dll but unsuccessfully...
Well, does anybody have a solution?

here`s an abstraction that does the same thing as the external.

sorry, this patch is really old, and i don`t use troublesome externals like [spigot~] anymore.

just put this abstraction in the same folder as my patch, or else in your extra folder for pd. then load the patch, and it should all work ok.

not sure about the other externals in the patch though, they may or may not work on your computer.

good luck. matt

Hi hardoff,

Simply awesome! Many thanks for this abstraction I'm gonna look now, very useful.
But unfortunately, this morning as I was working on your patch, I found an other external made by Yves Degoyon : playlist and this one, i think, won't be so easy to redo...

After some tests, it seems the patch is working in spite the playlist objetc isn't recongnised. I noticed as well some strange effect on soundfiles I import within the audioloops folder. Each of them is played with a different rate, sometimes very fast, sometimes very slowly...

If you have -once again - a solution, you're very welcome!

>>Each of them is played with a different rate, sometimes very fast, sometimes very slowly...<<

that's just a part of the patch. it doesn't do "intelligent" timestretching like ableton live or something. it just plays the samples faster or slower to match the tempo. yes, it sounds "strange", but that's the way i made this patch.

yop, I understand now. that's really a great job. Particulary with all your audioloops
