I enjoyed listening to this very much, while at the same time having some eerie questions about my own brain: why does it enjoy semi random dice throwing over predictable patterns? Would it learn anything useful if it listened all day to this? 😅
Hehe, glad you liked the sounds. Unfortunately, I don't have any definitive answer to your question. But something I think about is that our brain is an organ designed for problem-solving; when there is a predictable pattern, the brain can disengage since it perceives the problem as "solved". When the complexity of the problem is overwhelming, the brain similarly disengages since there is too much new information to be fully absorbed. By combining the predictable with the unpredictable, there is a goldlilocks region of sensory input that allows the brain to feel some sense of familiarity, while at the same time being challenged to decipher novel input. Perhaps, for this reason, the most engaging art is that which can strike an ideal balance between the familiar and the novel.
Have you ever found a way to program sequences in Max and then send them to the MD sequencer as trigged steps? So that one can then manipulate it directly on the MD
Yes, if you build a MIDI sequencer in Max you can then record those notes into the MD. Global settings within the MD has the different MIDI notes per track (which are also configurable).
This is really cool. Nice usage of lfos within Max, what kind of patterns did you use for the Machindrum? Were they basic sequences that just manipulated by Max or were they already sophisticated by itself. Thanks
man this is so good, do you happen to know if this kind of stuff would be possible with Rytm as well? I mainly mean the Max controlling various modulation factors
The patch itself has a few bpatchers in it, so it'd be a little cumbersome to post everything. But here is the "heart of the patch"; just use LFOs (or anything else you'd like) to modulate the phasor's frequency. ----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 540.3ocuVtsaiBCDF9Z3o.4qYi7AHIspuIUqV4.totBrQ1ltIpp8YegwPa5F xB4.6EAKOYv+y2L1C9sv.zF8NgEEceziQAAuEFD.lZMDzMO.Ux2kUvsfaHk3 25Mufh8+kSryAlqdla0lO5sqpK00tBgCdIRm0JtK6YoZ6uLhLmWTV5BbbTBN ocHEdRoKvQ+r6U7qhaekv6OxJ2p3EnOcnQIopWHZmQYNDTMA5OVspOlrt8Ev pfPsFdOLr8Q70w8CeDgWbgTmhgA15Yf5jYk5bQgiewE6kKggqsXSF.a1rhsc uJ6DTyFsXmhApoSl53lXu4mT4NiD.cdS.hhHRD9rSAquCXeMwW+GOErgq11B e+3Ix.riy.z4MCXhzJ8SOc1a86x.IoScq+IHFO.wjaCwkBqkuUbDxzT5YiKg wfM8LXSOibw7NPuMFct4Eegk24A24smVoLW1DcCSL9zDuzWfWCakSt6HhqLB qP43NoV8sj2A1OrIYBrdDB8Dq2Xc9Xo+6zDrPnBo5uutCvVq8um6r5ZSVe0p +hDQeEO4BqSp9DuG+5CPG3j1jKLP.OXAaxRmLEooyhzroHcW7ccJ0F+zQTps Je0JwlBS2Fkn+uThNIkX2JkHioD8VnDYBLQOVI+QcdU0qBisyaPjlFhungCE qhgoRkeJbOBjQ7pr2+DvB2zz1y0zjp136nrao+h0nRcywKUsr6DVixuG9G.I LMvw -----------end_max5_patcher-----------

@@chromecodec Ah strange, I think when copying the "copy compressed" Max code into TH-cam comments, TH-cam formats it in a way that it can no longer be copy/pasted (I just tried copy/pasting the code I posted and couldn't do it).

@@chromecodec I'm having same problem here. TH-cam not correctly count dashes in pasted code for some reason. The solution is to paste this code in some text editor and check dashes before and after "begin_max5_patcher". It needs to be 10 dashes. Before and after "end_max5_patcher" it needs to be 11 dashes. After that copy pasting in Max opens up the patch.
Also would love to see a tutorial on how this exact device was created. Good stuff!
Max and MD together.. love it.
holy shit m8, this is awesome! excited to try the patch out
great! you made me realice that I need to look for a cv to midi converter and use my eurorack to make this, thanks!
Brilliant! That should produce some interesting results.
excellent job !

Just uploaded one to get started. More to add later. Enjoy!
🧨🚀 nice

The pattern was quite layered. Two RAM machine pairs and a CTRL-AL machine in particular helped create complexity within the pattern.

Yeah! It's definitely possible with the Rytm, or any device that takes MIDI timing messages.
Wow incredible!
Any chance to get the patch?

Now plug your MD into the hapax :D
