Re: [PD] triggering audio
Hi, let's say I have an osc~ object, and I want to turn it on and off in a rhythmic fashion, say every quarter note, as if I were playing quarter notes on my midi keyboard. what objects/methods do I need to learn about to do that? * [line~] and/or [vline~] connected to a simple [*~] are your friends... I'm sure a look at their help patches will get you going. Bests, Lorenzo. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] triggering audio
Hey, that's how you learn, and you learn better if you chase parts of PD that interest you more. The first few parts of the help files talk about data structures etc... which confuse the hell out of me, don't use 'em, don't plan to. I'd say if something interests you, go for it, if you don't understand it take a step back. Whatever you do, don't spend too long listening to a pure sine tone.

I've learned how to make a simple synth using osc~ and phasor~ objects, and I trigger them using a slider patched into an mtof object. Lots of fun, but the long tone of an oscillator is getting boring. I've scanned through other chapters, and I can't seem to find other ways of triggering audio. For example, I've been watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zKzxqN5mUI Whoever this is uses a sig~ object going through an expr~, etc. I don't understand what he's doing, but it looks cool. Can someone help me understand it? What are some other things I can play with? Be gentle, I'm new to all of this. :) Hi Josh, The [sig~] object seems to be used as a place holder in that video-- a way to say, here are some initial values for [expr~], which can later be changed by using something else as the input. Have a look at the help patch for [expr~] for more info. Have you looked at the tutorials in doc/3.audio.examples? For example, see the scratch machine in B07.sampler.pd, and the attack detector in C07.envelope.follower.pd. -Jonathan -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] triggering audio
Hi Josh, looks like you haven't gotten to the later AUDIO TUTORIALS chapters: # ENVELOPE GENERATOR # AMPLIFIER # CONTROLLING THE SYNTH # STEP SEQUENCER # 4 STAGE SEQUENCER where you learn about changing the sound of the synth (amplitude, frequency or filter) over time using envelopes, as well as how to control/trigger the synth from various input sources.

Re: [PD] triggering audio
I'd recomend the help files on samplers. If you go to the help browser, 3.audio.examples then b07 onwards. These give you quite a simple way in to using existing audio on PD Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2010 21:06:34 +0100 From: de...@umatic.nl To: hardbop...@gmail.com CC: PD-list@iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] triggering audio Hi Josh, looks like you haven't gotten to the later AUDIO TUTORIALS chapters: # ENVELOPE GENERATOR # AMPLIFIER # CONTROLLING THE SYNTH # STEP SEQUENCER # 4 STAGE SEQUENCER where you learn about changing the sound of the synth (amplitude, frequency or filter) over time using envelopes, as well as how to control/trigger the synth from various input sources.
