does anyone care to try this? i don't know a lot of pd-minded people around my place and i haven't shared this with anyone yet. the development has gotten quite far by now though. it's been some years of work and trying to make pd handle the digital part of my live setup. i am not sure yet about when and how to release this (it will be completely free though, that much i can tell). i'd really love to get some experiences and opinions before that though. Or get an idea if there's even any point to this in pd and if it is worth documenting it and maintaining it for the public.
the patch offers ten layers of granular/spectral soundfile or live input processing. there's 100 preset slots that can be accessed from within each layer and morphed between. full osc/midi control is possible. a pd port of the great polygome monome-patch is included. you can also load instrument banks, and play them as oneshots or using the sample slicing engine (just name each sample by it's corresponding midi pitch and choose the folder the samples are contained in). there's lfos and one assignable multi parameter for each layer. all settings and samples are stored in the presets to make it a fast and intuitive live instrument, that was my priority. it harmonizes perfectly with korg nano kontrol.
so far it was made and tested by me only in pd-ext 42.5 on osx. in addition only the soundhack externals are needed to get the decimator to work. loading might take up to 3 minutes or more! that is normal for now, but i hope i can do something about it in the future.
