I've been trying to come up with a simple but effective way of applying shuffle to rhythms in pd/Max and was wondering if anyone here has ever built a patch that does this or has any ideas.

The first thing that comes to mind is using a slew of delays but it seems like a clunky way of doing it. I also had the idea of using a really fast metro (one that outputs 32nd notes of a given tempo) to both a counter from 0 31 and another counter with a minimum of 0 that you can dynamically change the max number to a few steps higher/lower than 31, both with a sel 0.

Any other ideas?

I do it like this: route the odd and even 16th note ticks separately, then give the even ticks a small delay to make them groove (up till triplet groove). I'd like to attach a patch, but that is impossible here. Consider posting your question in the technical issues section.
