If you recreate this patch, note that I had the groove objects connected incorrectly through most of this video - which was causing some unintended clicking. Because the groove objects I used were only 1 channel, I shouldn't have connected the second outlet, which was the sync output.
Hi David, excelent patch. But in 7.17 min, what happened ?, bang , obj random,/100, sig~1., number 0 , trigger b b and sel1, how do all this one element p?

@@victormartinpardo2752 for this patch i just copied the sample files into the same folder the patch was saved in. but you can also add a folder to your 'search path', and then you can do the same thing and type just the name of the file, and not the whole file path. docs.cycling74.com/max8/vignettes/search_path
Hi David, thanks for this tutorial! Loads of possibilities with this generative drum machine! What are the filter presets (eqs)? That section of the videos goes so fast, I didn't get where those came from (15:37). Thanks!
great tutorial - would love to see a video showing off what you did in the part at the end that was sped up. I'm looking to create some self generating ambient stuff and that last part sounds like the sort of thing i'd like to do.
13:00 "there's probably a way of doing this with the counter object itself" -> the +1 sel 50 constants are looking for the overflow bang, which is one of the outlets. you're wanting to bang on the overflow, it appears

hi david , came across your few videos and it's really great stuff ! please do a video about the end of this one where you could explain more about the eqs, filters , and manipulation of waveforms with coll object , it's super cool done this in max ! best
Thank you for this tutorial! How can i get this biquad_degrade_biquad.maxpat and groove_looper_line_11.maxpat , that you used in bpatcher. I've recreated this patch, but on 15 minute everything become so fast, i can't understand.
I could not get the buffer sounds to load until I realized I was missing spaces in the filenames compared to the ones used in the tutorial. Filenames that include spaces also need beginning and ending quotes.
Great video ! Thanks ! Just have one question: at 13:26 when i connect the metro to the counter, i have a message that say counter: stack overflow. Is there a solution to that ? Sorry i'm new to Max...
lovely turorial, thanks for that! super cool stuff with the bpatchers! is there a video where you explain how you did the "granular" bpatchers you added last? pretty cool stuff
would it be possible to record your output [numerical output] from each track, loop that, and use a toggle record or lock the loop. that would be madness. your video is awesome. no messing about, straight to it!
Great video! I have a question about the last part - when you introduce your b-patchers for playing samples, how did you avoid the annoying click in the groove object, when the loop restarts? Thanks a lot!
i think I had the groove objects set up to start with as 1 channel, instead of stereo... so the 2nd inlet, (when they were 1 channel) was not audio; it was the sync ramp (its a signal that just ramps up from 0 to 1 over the length of the loop)... so fixing it involved making the groove objects 2 channel, i.e. stereo... by putting the proper argument in. does that fix it for you?
oh no, hang on, i didn't make them stereo - just connected the 1-channel audio to left and right channels - compare the connections coming out of the groove objects at the start and end of the vid
Thanks for your reply! I am reading back my question and I obviously wasn’t clear enough, sorry for that. I was referring to the b-patchers - how come they don’t click when the loop changes? Especially when the starting point changes. Do you work with poly~ or some kind of window? Thanks!
@@jakaarh8957 ah see what you mean - there's a bunch of different ways to avoid clicks with groove without getting into poly~... there's an option in groove object itself to position loop points at the 'zero crossing', or you can use windows by exploiting the sync output (rightmost outlet of groove)... i go over a couple of these methods in one of the vids I made, can't remember which off the top of my head but will update if I remember!
ps, I think that with that bpatcher I was just using the zero crossing option, rather than properly windowing it. using a window gives you more control though - you can control the 'smoothness' or clickiness of the sound by adjusting the parameters of the window
Hey man, thanks for the video. My samples cannot be loaded separately, meaning when I load a new one to the second buffer, it automatically changes the first and rewrites it. Any thoughts?
Hey David, great stuff. These are the type of sounds that draw me into Max. I just recently started so my way around the patches is not very fluent yet. If you have the time, I would love to know more about the way you made those drum samples work. I tried recreating the patch and I created buffers and wrote file names as the second argument but nothing happens. When I click on them, empty boxes appear. Thanks for any clarification!!
Alright. I made it and it was very useful. Learning a lot like this. I hope to see a video on those things you do towards the end. Are they your own patches?
great, glad you got things working! yeah those are my own patches, a few people have expressed interest so I'll try and put a video together explaining the devices at some point
Uhmm real honest question here, but why spend so much time creating a beat on this software instead of laying the beat in a DAW like Ableton and create music? May I kindly ask if this is what people learn in a Music Technlogy course? I would love to understand more so I can decide in studying songwriting and producing or Music and Technology. Thanks
Just a quick question from someone who is v much a beginner - when you were uploading your samples into the buffers, where did you save them as files to allow you to load the samples up when clicking on buffers? I have a drum sample saved into the Sample Collection, but it doesn't load just by typing the sample file name like it does with you... Thanks!
samples saved in same folder as the patch will be found automatically when referenced with just the filename - anything in the 'search path' will also show up - look at the 'file preferences' option in one of the menus and you can add locations that max will be able to find automatically.
For me it was missing spaces in the filenames compared to the ones used in the tutorial. Filenames that include spaces also need beginning and ending quotes.
Great work !!! i'm recreating the patch but i've some doubts: i connected to every "buffer- beat" a "replace" object to call back the file from my library. Is it a good idea? Thanks
hi, not totally sure I follow you here, but I think that sounds all good. in the video I include a filename for the sample in the buffer object itself just to avoid having to manually load samples each time... but you could use any system for getting samples into the buffers. 'replace' messages are a great option, would allow you to swap samples on the fly also

haven't come across that series before, it looks great, I'll have a listen :)
whats teh shortcut to do this p order
highlight the ones you want to encapsulate, then click edit at the top and encapsulate
You might want to use [expr random (0, 100] - [scale 0. 100. 0. 1.] as then it's easier to set the limits. Set the values as wanted.
