Hello Pd people,

This is the first Pd video tutorial I've done.

I hope you enjoy it!

Let me know if you have any feedback or what other tutorials you might want

Very clever.
I like the scope visualisation of ramps and intermediate signals.

@jyg Thanks! I tried making that process as clear as possible, that's how I mostly learned pd: through scope visualization,

Excellent tutorial! Thank you. I followed along & built the Drum Machine this afternoon. Just having fun now & playing with it. Thought I'd try & make adjustments to the Kick to get a couple of Toms?

I'm working with Pd vanilla v. 0.51-4 but I'd love to be able to get the black background & coloured comments. Very helpful in distinguishing what is what.

Thanks again.

Thanks Mike, really great tutorial, very clear and easy to follow. Never knew about lop~ to help with clicking on line~ ramps starting at 1! I had been making elaborate asdr's trying very short attacks, but it was just never quite sharp enough for percussive hits... also seeding random - never had a clue what that really was...

Hope there's more in the future!

@JackOats Yes, you could make some adjustments to make it a Tom or Snare even!
Add the linear ramp to the phase combined with the distorted exponential ramp to get a higher pitch.
Then use an inversion of your linear ramp to make an exponential decay to act as an amplitude envelope.
Something like this: ramp-tom.pd

That black background with colored comments is thanks to Pd-next, it is essentially Pd vanilla with a visual overhaul.
First download and install it here, and follow the instructions to make the custom color file work.

Once you do that, download my theme (vital-theme), copy and replace the contents of colors-plugin.tcl with mine
