Flanger Basics - Max/MSP Tutorial

[@MGCaverly]

Thanks for this handy vid. FYI the word “flange” refers to the outer rim of the spool of old reel-to-reel tape machines, that were used by studios, in that day. Producers/engineers discovered that applying a bit of friction to the flange during use would cause the playback to slow and detune.

Interesting!

"my" first patch ever. thanks so much :)

[@normanfreund]

Enjoyed that, will give it a go. Demonstrates clearly the relation between block diagrams and the gen object connections.

Great video, I think introducing the operator mstosamps would've been good though, to show that you can precisely duplicate the block diagram.

Hello there! Amazing video. I'm somewhat of a MaxMSP noob so there's a few things I didn't quite understand. Why are you using gen~ instead of a subpatch? What's the main difference between both?

[@HearingGlass]

gen~ is a bit different than a subpatch: It is a sub-language of Max/MSP that lets you create algorithms for audio signals on a per-sample basis. It is very useful when working with effects (such as a flanger) that expect to do things to each sample separately. A subpatch is just a Max/MSP patch inside your patch.

this is great!

Thank you, now I have a cool base for new audio shitfuckery. I did a slight modification tho, I used the same [cycle] for input 2 and added the tiny value after the cycle on right channel, this way L and R are synchronized

[@HearingGlass]

Fantastic idea!
