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?

This is something ive been meaning to record for a while. and got around to it yesterday after i finished a neet algorithmic beat splicer.

Im trying to figure out how to convert a frequency to a tempo.

for example, making an lfo oscillate 1/4th or 1/16th etc of a tempo. What is the mathematic conversion?

Im trying to send some constantly changing information from max to pure data to do something in GEM with it. Whats the easiest way to do this? I tried using OSC, but I'm fairly confident that I'm using it wrong. Any Suggestions?

Any way to do this? Like if i were to load a sound file how could I see the frequency levels as it played for the wav?

just an abstraction that performs basic writesf~ commands

First patch to publish to the site of many. I randomized metro times so that it was randomly choose between 1/32, 1/16, 1/4 and 1/2 notes.

Large toggle in the middle to start.
Smaller number atom underneath to control key signature.
vradio controls major, minor and melodic signatures. All signatures are relative.

since it mostly deals with control data, routing it through a DAW is best.

everything else is pretty self-explanatory.

Edit: I forgot I put an abstraction I made in this patch, so I just uploaded it.

I would like to know if an object like a tgl can handle more than one receive in the properties menu. Thanks.

Is there a sneaky way to set the metro to a certain number

eg the metro is counting up with cup (^_^) and modulo-s at 16. I want to set to to 0 when i stop the metro, and when I start it again, the metro starts at 0.

thanks.

How could I go about comparing two or more numbers and find the order from highest to lowest and vice versa. For example I could have 3 5 7 2 1. How could I arrange it so that it is 1 2 3 5 7, and that if the numbers change, the order changes as well?

I have a metro connected to [cup] that modulos at 16. I set it up so that when 0 is selected, something happens. For some reason, though the operation that is supposed to happen when 0 is hit, isn't happening. I suspect this has to do with the fact that that's where the modulo starts, but i'm not quite sure. Anybody know how to fix this? thanks.

thank you! should have figured it was that simple.

Wow thank you sinewave, I thought I would have to do some elaborate IF then statements.

Basically i tested this on Reason and Ableton. It uses external midi control rather than a built in synth sound in pd. I don't really know anything about Pro Tools but if there is a device that plays midi control notes, then assign channels 1 & 2 to the proper midi driver through Pro Tools. Also you're going to need to set your MIDI output device 1 to the midi driver you use for pro tools.

use this
You'll have to set the channels for Pro Tools as well as the midi driver.

wow thanks, don't know how i didn't catch that.

one more question, this time regarding [key].
Any way to restrict [key] from working unless shift - or alt is held?
