16 step audio sampler with integrated oscillating/MIDI synthesizer voices.

Audio samples can be loaded into the array tables within the sequencer channels.

This is my first pd patch so any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

very good stuff for being your first patch
the interface is very nice which is what i really went for in my first couple
but i have found that you sacrifice a certain amount of processing powering for it usually
but thats mainly on this machine (macbook 1.83 with 80g HD and 2g RAM) i don't know if other users experience that much slow down from robust interfaces

do the instruments on the side actually output midi when they are turned on i didn't try that

i would love to see the sort of things that you continue to do with puredata this being your first patch
very good work

Thanks for your reply.

I will bear that in mind. <Maybe that's the reason it seems to crash allot when I have all the samples playing.

One of the instruments is operating general midi sounds rather then outputting midi value whilst the other two are simple additive synthesizers.

Any suggestions to make it more stable?

Too big! Those of us with laptops can't see the whole thing!

Something which really eats cpu is the updating of the synth tables, it's not the pd updating but the gtk graphical library used by pd. So, unless you really need visual clues, try putting tables inside subpatches so that they aren't visible. They will continue to being updated, but they need not be redrawn anymore.

Further i like this. The sequencing is nicely done (a bit flstudio like). But what i also would do is give step 1, 5, 9 and 13 a subtle other colour, because otherwise it's rather hard to know which step you're editing.

Thanks for your comments!

have you made use of the [dsp] object?
i like to put it (pretty much use the same thing thats in the help file) so i can get an idea of what's going on as far as power consumption
well i would look into
[noteout] and [makenote] for sending your midi
i'll take another look at it in a bit and see if anything else comes to mind

wow

Hi people, just a comment:

As far as I know, the GUI is written in tcl/tk and not in gtk. Tcl was written in 1988 [0] and tk in 1990 latter was written in 1998 [1], ten years later. Also, GTK is supposed to be optimised for speed.

I wish someday someone could re write Pd's GUI using GTK or OpenGL, etc. whichever the better and faster
