So I made this patch that would help me do dj type stuff.

ill talk patch here for a while so my file can upload.

be warned, its noisy, unorganised, and at times complete shit. and sometimes that kick will kill you, be careful if you have subs i guess.

and i tried to make it as reusable as possible, unlike everything else i've done which is really good for one track.
so stealing, or "learning" as you might call it from discussions on the forum, i pieced together the best i could do. but ultimately limiting a lot of what i did to the fact i control it with a toy guitar with some 13 buttons(more to come, im going to hack a mouse or joystick to add some more buttons, cc's)

i basically split everything(loop wise) into 4 channels, drums, kick, melodic, rhythm
the kick gets its own channel, that way i can crunch it up and it stays constant while everyone else is slamming about with stutters and whatnot.

so 4 channels, what effects do i need? well a good old fashioned delay and distortion, that will do nicely. the gain goes up to 1.5X too, because i have a habit of turning everything up and up and up, so if i start at .7X, i'm giving myself room for later.
they pan too, but i dont really use that much.

each channels audio gets a fancy stutter deal, and the drums get a high feedback short time delay too.

after that, each has a button to randomly pick a new loop(doesnt seem to work all that well, some never come up, while others repeat themselves)

theres a button for me to trigger kicks when they aren't sequenced. and one to turn off the kick sequence.

thats about it really.
i think its heavily taken from hardoff's patches(really through these patches i was introduced to the whole stuttery world of breaks, and from there discovered breaks and distortion = fun), with bernielomax99's 16 step sequencer thrown in there.

so, there you go, enjoy my wonderful patch, make suggestions on what i should do to make it better, complain that everything i do sounds kind of the same.

(oh one thing though, i think all the delays maybe feed into the one? im not sure it just seemed like that towards the end, but im not sure)

also, this was my first real experimentation with that nifty draw on canvas feature.

adios chaps

Hey pantydog, looks nice but i've got the [playlist] object missing (on 0.40.3 extended). Where can i find this?

D.

hmm it was in my extended on both osx and linux, ill try find a download

edit: i found a thread from 6 months ago that mentioned [playlist] isnt available for windows.

but the object itself isnt an important part of the patch, it's just used to move through a folder and select the next file which is loaded into the array. you could do it manually by replacing the whole playlist bit with your normal array writer.

I am still listening to this, but so far I have to say that I really like the little sped-up bit at 3:22.

I'm going to resist quoting Spinal Tap here.

thanks, i had fun playing it, following my normal "one take only" rule, i think the random loop selector really worked in my favour a lot of the time.

i think i need to write in a part to read lists from a text file so that i can actually put together a setlist to follow.

haha i think the spinal tap thing is pretty true for me, i always forget that its better to turn stuff down rather than up all the time.
at uni we have these fender amps that go UP TO 12. thats one more than spinal tap.
so when they go to 11, we can kick it up that extra bit.

ive also realised i didnt think too m uch before uploading this patch, so you'll probably have to re-set all the [key] commands to keys you want, theres only 12 of them.

also, that bang on the right of each player abstraction is to load your files, so hit it 20 times.

(you might also want to go through into the players and set the "random" function to however many files you want to load)(fixed in edit)

edit edit:Lupdated patch with a more user and windows friendly layout.

Didn't have a whole lot of time to play, but what I did was really nice, kudos.

are the loaded sounds locked in to a four on the floor type rhythm? or can you change the rhythm of the added elements?

the sounds you load are played back in the rhythm they originally were.
I'm sure with some extra code you could write in something to fix that, but it might just be easier to edit the files themselves, or use things that aren't in that rhythm.

I did another mashup with this patch using loops recorded from my gameboy.

it got me featured in a podcast http://milkcrate.com.au/silreq/8bcopenmic/8bc_open_mic_Episode_2.mp3
