A Quick Recap
We have used objects, messages, numbers,
buttons and toggles. All of these (and more) can be inserted by double
clicking in a blank space or using the keyboard shortcut.
Breakbeat Generator
We’ll now start building the breakbeat generator.
We’re going to create an automatic
breakbeat generator patch. This will patch will chop up drum loops. This
patch will create a breakbeat effect by chopping a sample into 8 and
rather than playing straight through in order, playing:
- 3 consecutive parts chosen from a random start point.
- 3 consecutive parts chosen from a random start point.
- 2 consecutive parts chosen from a random start point.
e.g. from the 8 sections of our loop, some 3+3+2 examples could include:
- 2 3 4 / 6 7 8 / 3 4
- 5 6 7 / 1 2 3 / 5 6
- 4 5 6 / 2 3 4 / 6 7
- 6 7 8 / 5 6 7 / 2 3 etc
Create this patch. This will load, play and cutup our drum loop sample.
Note: ‘pd’ stands for subpatch in PureData.
Double click on this object and we can edit what’s inside it. Add this
to the inside of the subpatch:
We created the Markov Melody Generator in this post.
The breakbeat generator and markov chain generator are both connected to a toggle so they can be started at the same time.
You can download the patch here. Patches for older posts will also be uploaded soon.
