Max MSP Tutorial 06c1: Percussion Sampler & Simple Polyphony [1]

Go to http://www.peterbatchelor.com/maxtuts.html for lots more tutorials.
*************************************************************

Exercises6c introduces a sampler that enables drag-and-drop loading and manipulation of multiple samples. In doing so it covers:
• making a percussion sampler (different keyboard keys trigger different samples);
• simple polyphony (_not_ using [poly~])
• Multiple drag'n'drop sample loading.

*************************************************************
Please note: these tutorials were made as supplementary material for students on the Music, Technology & Innovation programme at De Montfort University ( http://www.dmu.ac.uk/music ). Some of the content will be specific to their needs and won't be relevant to other viewers.

My coll object wont store the information that I type into it and therefore the patch doesnt work, any idea why? I've done exactly what you said but everytime I click on it afterwards it is completely blank. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I dont know if this makes any difference but I am using Max 6 :/

@nikkiroseh Have you been into the inspector window for [coll] (press command-i) and checked the box that says 'store coll with patcher'?

[MUST1002]

I'm afraid my response has to be the same as before. Without seeing the patch it's very hard to tell. Also your description is rather confusing: you got playback, but then you didn't get playback? Could you be more specific?

@MUST1002

Any chance i could email it to you and see what you think?

I've followed the same steps as you have in the video, i can view the sound waves of the samples when double clicking both the buffer and groove boxes but when i move the value of the integer or add a message of 1 instead of using the i receive no play back.

I've checked the DSP settings, made a quick trigger to the GM drum kit, received playback.

Thanks for your fast response =]

@ChrisEarl102 OK. I don't have an awful lot of time, I'm afraid, but I'll see what I can do. You'll have to excuse brief responses tho'! Email address on my website.

Hi, ive literally copied exactly what you have done in this tutorial although my file names are different but when i double click to see the wave form the box is empty. Do have any advice on how to get round this?

[MUST1002]

@xWARBRAINx Difficult to say without seeing the patch. Does anything appear in the Max window? Are the names you've given the various buffers and players (grooves) consistent?

[nikkiroseh]

@MUST1002 yeah i checked that several times and it didnt make a different. I think I'll just have to use the sprintf object instead, thanks anyway

@MUST1002 Any help would be greatly welcomed at this point :D

Hello ,I've copied your steps loaded the samples (there .aif files),i even got the play back you did when connecting the ezdac. I can view the files but i can't get any play back i've checked that my audio are correct in the DSP settings . Any thoughts ?

@MUST1002 I just didn't have a space where you'd put one i think, it was hard to see. Thank you
