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.

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

this is old... BUT

when I try to open this I get this error:

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

first off let me say this patch is killer and i'm having an awesome time toying around with it! i'm very new to PD and hoping i'll be able to make something remotely close to your patches eventually.

i was wondering some more about what hummm said concerning tempos and the loops i introduce--for some reason, even when i adjust the bpm to what the loop actually is, i can't seem to get the loop to sound right.

i guess i'm basically just wondering if there's a way to get the loops to sounds appropriate, because what i'm really hoping to do w/this is patch is establish the original loopand then deconstruct it/add other loops, etc. don't know if this makes sense or if there's an answer, but let me know what you all think!

thanks again for sharing a very sweet patch!

hi, i am hardoff. but now i am 'mod' because i terminate the spam from this forum.

are you using 44.1khz samples? i think this patch is hardcoded only to run at that rate.
however, if the problems you get with audio are little pulses on every beat, then that's due to the click-removal system. it would be possible to bypass that system while the sample plays back normally, but it would require a fair bit of work.

So now we finally now you really are a shapeshifter...

hardoff, thanks for the response! and sorry mine comes so late. checking the samples, they are all def. 44.1khz and its looking like the click removal may be the issue-the rate problem is more apparent on samples with relatively higher gain/waveforms with more clipping.

out of curiosity though, what's your process for sampling? ive just essentially been cutting samples w/recycle & exporting them. maybe the issue lies somewhere in that?

yep, that would be the effect of the click-removal. you'll also notice it on more pure tones and bass sounds than on drums and noisy stuff.

i cut all mine up in peak audio (mac). any sound editor would do the same job though. i doubt your recycle exports will be any trouble.

ill start keeping that in mind as i start dealing with more samples. thanks again for all the help! J5
