so today i made a couple of abstractions that let me visually choose which sections of a loop i want to trigger.

the first is [breakpoint-maker], which you can use to line up your sample cut points and create a message box with all your cut-point data.

and then the second is a little player abstraction called [smp-slice] that allows for pitched playback and sequencing of the sample sections.

much nicer and cleaner sample cutting for sure.

(edit - just added a little 5ms envelope to the player to avoid some clicks)

I really like the breakpoint editor also. I wonder.....there was a thread a while back about using bonk to detect transients and writing that info into a message box, as part of a rudimentary Recycle

Could this somehow be combined so that bonk does the ground work and you can fine tune the slices using the editor...?

good work

just found a glitch in the breakpoint-maker that only saved 15 points, rather than a maximum of 100. fix is attached to this post.

here is a bonk~ed version. just need to do some stuff with the table storage so that i can insert or delete sections i don't want, and it is good to go i reckon.

honestly never thought bonk~ would work so well for this, but i'm blown away. as long as you use loops with fairly well defined beats, it's great.

add this patch to the sample-slicer folder and see how it works:

wow! that works superbly!!! thanks for the advice boonier.

sheessh i does work an' all! That is cool

I cant really take credit for the bonk~ idea. It just occured to me that it might be a good application!

Now, I wish the array view was zoomable......

many thanks

Two tables, aSample and aIndex, load a sound into aSample
Play aSample into bonk~ (adjusting params as desired) using tabread4~ and line~. no need to loop.

Each time a 'bonk' occurs: sample the line~ output (to get your 'position' or 'index') using snapshot~
write index value to aIndex with tabwrite(not tabwrite~)
advance a counter at the right inlet of tabwrite object.

To play back slices, use tabread(not tabread~) to get a start(n) position and end(n+1, n+ whatever) position from aIndex, pack them up, and feed them to tabread~. Alternatively: use line~, tabread4~ and some math to make a pitch-variable version.

I'll dig it up or make a new example when I am done playing with my new drumset.

jackull, that's why i added an external pitch input to the player.

add this patch to the sample-slicer folder and see how it works:

works really well, excellente. thanks again

would be ok on linux or in 0.39 extended, but the gui has gotten even SLOWER in 0.40.3-extended for mac. i think the redraw would take too long to make it really worthwhile. but i'll give it a go today and see how it goes. i have an old zoomable-array patch here i can modify.

arse its meant to be quicker in this version. Is that one of Hans's test releases? hmmm there is the [cooled~] object from the unauthorized lib off the top of my head...that does zooming, but i guess its still using tcl/tk

it seems to be absent from the extended package, even though there is help document

I've been having loads of fun with this patch...also really well put together. Would make a good educational patch

but instead, i added a bit of a nicer envelope, to pretty much stop all clicks; improved and simplified the editing of the bonk-detected slices; added volume control to the slice-player; added a 3-part polyphonic slice player so that you can sequence drumloops or melodies and not cut off the decay of each beat when it finishes;

and just now, i made a nice little drill and bass demo.

hope i'm not pushing my luck attaching a 800kb file to this forum. if it's too much, someone plz let me know. cheers.

'number of slices' is something i should incorporate too.

Brilliant work mr hardoff.

I'm quiet new to Pd (using it for 1month now) and i am the happy owner of a 40h kit monome.

Want to do things the OPEN way... so using Pd.
I'm discovering new things everytime i have spare time to hook on Pd.

As a first exercice, i made a beat-composer-with-realtime-slicing for my monome (no ui though, since this was my first project). I succeeded, even if the patches are so awfully bloated that i would be ashamed to put it on this forum. But it does what i want If anyone wants to have a look at it anyway, i might post it in another thread.

Anyway, i wanted to do an MLR-style app to play with my monome.
I didn't know where to start.

Thanks to you Hardoff, i think i might be able to reach my goals, with your slice player and my time and monome interface abstracts...

Thanks very much for sharing...

i'll post up a big folder of effects and stuff soon too.
