Re: My Revised MAX/MSP Looping/Effects Rig

Oh, easily. Great idea. Though I need to stay true to my rule: no touchy 
the 
lappy. :)  Just kidding.

You just reminded me to finish something I started! Not totally the same 
as 
below, but I have a guitar synth in max I built that emulates the Roland 
GR300.  Part of the patch analyzes my guitar frequency and converts to 
numbers. And once you have numbers in max, you can do just about anything 
with them. What I had planned to do is design it so that certain ranges of 
notes on the guitar, now numbers, trigger changes in the random behavior 
of 
my system. So that if I played fast and high, it would speed the random 
change, and so on. Or if I played a particular note, it would trigger a 
specific change in random behabior, like reducing the range of paramaters 
randomly selected....all very easy to do. I really like this idea. I think 
I 
will build that when I get back.
