Delicious Max/MSP Tutorial 5: Boomerang!

[@4lefts]

seriously, these videos are the business. they are just what the world needs - there's this massive gap between basic max tutorials, and resources for super advanced users. no one really needs to be shown how to make a 2op fm synth again, and no one can understand all the stuff in, say, the ftm package. so, big thanks.

[@Tm0g762]

I love the maniacal laughter at the beginning.

[@PianoRequest]

Hahah this was great! Best and funniest tutorial so far :D And a great end result by the two of you, lol.

[@vacancesalacanau]

Definitively love your videos ! First time i'm having real fun while trying to understand a max tutorial !!! Please keep on posting !!! Thanks a lot !

[@sagarpatel9556]

Oh man this was the best from your all tutorial... What an Extraordinary sound you added in last... Really i have enjoyed a lot... And ya, she sounds like an Electrical or Computer engineer... U know, i m also crazy about assembly language and gates....

[@oisinoregan]

This is great!! Hi to super smart Cassie !! :-)

[@Javomarquez]

Love it! So engaging. Thanks, man. I think you may have saved my life for a class. :D

[@the-alienlazer-monkey103]

Loving these tutorials :-)

[@raverlof]

a really good idea would be, some levels of layers of "undo's", so just incase you don't like what you've recorded right??? how would you do it?? if it is a additive recording method?? or you couldn't use the same buffer only right?? you sould use as many buffers as layers of undo you want right?? keep on with this energy!! thanks for sharing!! you and your sister!!! cheerz!!!

[@1000AbstractMachines]

great !!!! funny and informative ;) i've never laughed so much while watching a tutorial !

[@AlexCBain]

Awesome tutorial, is there any way you can get the patch to loop for as long as you hold down the space bar?

[@jkRatbird]

2643.. I will never forget. Anyway thanks for this great information! Im learning max now to make a loopstation (that's the subcategory of tools in which the boomerang would fall) and this is gold. Do you maybe have any advice on how to "multiply" the content in a buffer? Basically duplicate its length with a copy of itself. Its a common function in loopers that I can't figure out a way to do yet. I could record into another longer buffer, but how do I do it instantly? Thanks again for great videos!

[@mbudter]

Hi dude837 thank you so much for this tutorial-so great! I've tried it myself using max 6.1 and can't get it working at all. I've copied in my patch below and was wondering if you mind taking a look at it to see what i'm doing wrong?? Thanks :)

[@fredfreddud5723]

thanks for those very good and funny tutorials I've a little question about the boomerang effect. When I try it, the level of recorded sound diminish and the pitch is higher every loop. have I made a mistake?

[@elmer4090]

Great tutorial I wonder if your password is still the same

[@pyruvicac.id_]

omg thank you soooo much for this amusing tutorial !!!

[@GabeTrevisan]

the best tutorial ever! ahuuhauhauhuahuhahua

[@dude837]

@JoelisRich Thanks, mate. How exactly do you do things?

[@placid212]

Great vid!

[@Smomid]

This is a great tutorial, thank you. One comment: on a Boomerang! you can tell it when to start and stop recording and are not limited to a time value, like 4 seconds, so your loop can be incorporated to whatever music you are currently playing. How could you alter this patch to make the loop only as long as your first recording and not limited to 4 seconds? I hope my question makes sense and thank you again for the tutorials.

[@MrRolaCosta]

thanks, good tutorial! how do you record sounds that come out of max? like wav samples, notes and such

[@artemlyubchenko3022]

I know the comment is 11 years old haha, but you can send a "writewave" message to a buffer and it will export a wav file, if that's what you mean.

[@dinosaurauraur]

so this is a great patch man, thanks. however is there any way to control the speed of the loop through using a tap tempo? whenever i try and convert the 'ms' into 'bpm', the loop doesn't loop anymore :(

[@GuyConnolly]

Is there a way to set it up so I could use a float or something to customize the bpm and length of the loop?

[@PlerbyMcFlerb]

did index~ not exist yet when this was made?

[@1jurosado]

I thought this was pretty cool so I decided to try and loop a MIDI signal and I am getting nothing. Right now I have a notein to kslider to noteout (with some other stuff in between like an interval/chord selector and MIDI channel select). I tried connecting the MIDI out from the kslider to the line in of the signal multiplier and then the play to my noteout and nothing is happening. What do I need to do to connect my MIDI keyboard to this loop effect?

[@UltraDangletron]

is there a way to have it save each layer as you add them?

[@davidgalego3695]

Hey mate, loved you're tutorial. I replicated it to max 8, exactly how you dit it, although the clear message is not working on the buffer. Do you have any idea any and how to fix it?

[@jit3k]

i'm an old n00b/earth brain, but why do we need the sampstoms~ object fed into the play~? also, lol that you say I want that sound right as ur deleting it. I'll take your answers off the air, thanks.

[@raverlof]

also... you can use transport object, and the clicking from there :P :P really insane tutoriales !! much appreciate it!!

[@winteronline]

Dude ! I think you know, but your'e AWESOME ! !! )

[@freyatateify]

I'm experiencing clicks coming up in the recording when i loop with this pedal, sending max through logic, any ideas?

[@redepromotions]

Dude, I'm loving the tutorials! Good style - great content. I'm having trouble with this one working properly. I'm not getting it to loop back around but instead clearing every time. It's playing back with a sweet delay and fast pitch decay so I saved it for future effects :) Anyone have any idea why it's giving me such a short delay and not recording over itself?

[@raverlof]

keep on banging!! thanks for it!!

[@limboreversible]

why do you use the ($1 40) message and the line~ object ? looks like works perfectly without it . Very efficient and cool otherwise ! Thanks

[@yantinglu2356]

avoid clipping I think

[@elschlonzo7204]

got a new ringtone ;D

[@mrrickygee.]

But how to make multiple loops and turn off or on any of them at any time

[@TheDaft2011]

my loop doesnt record continuously. where did i go wrong?

[@zernestro]

the waveform at the end is shakin' it hhaha

[@12copablo]

You are hilarious! :)

[@SuperiorRobot]

Can you post the patch for download?

[@wowojciechmorawski]

Hey! I got a click when I cross the buffer, do you know why? :)

[@IvanYanakiev]

Hello, I would like to ask you something. Did anybody of you get any reference tone before you started recording? Because you sound right on 512 Hz. I am a PhD candidate at the Bulgarian Academy of Science's Institute of Art Studies and my thesis is about the 432 Hz concert pitch. Your video is very intriguing to me because of your free style melody that you invented. Your melody sounds in 512 Hz, which speaking in tonality terms is in the tonal center of exactly C in 432 Hz concert pitch. It is amazing, really!(This means that both of you are amazing). I have numerous observations on the 432 Hz frequency and its relation to the humans in general. YOur melody is just the most resent one! So - did you get any reference tone or you just started singing out of the air, as I like to say? I have to admit that I was not prepared to discover the 432 Hz concert pitch in an youtube tutorial about MAX/MSP but who am I to expect anything after all.. Thank you! Sincerely yours, Ivan K. Yanakiev

[@dude837]

I don't think we heard any reference tone. But Cassie and I played a ton of piano growing up, maybe that has something to do with it.

[@IvanYanakiev]

Well, if playing the piano had to be taken in account, your sister should have sung a C of 523.251 Hz, but she sung a C of 512 Hz instead. I would not hold on to that explanation. I just will say that we are hearing Nature in its purest form. Best regards, Ivan K. Yanakiev

[@stephenweigel]

Where is the evidence for 432 being 'natural?'

[@IvanYanakiev]

I can send you a copy of an article in Bulgarian where I write on that subject.

[@stephenweigel]

sure. [e-mail]

[@henrids]

THANK YOU!!

[@badgehz]

ahaha cool! your guys are funny

[@ConnerEdmunds]

great tutorial tho

[@demil133]

binary solo !
