I've been working on something really glitchy and digital-sounding, but I got sick of hearing it, so I made a cheesy jazz version. I used obiwannabe's jazz drum patch (modified slightly), a walking bassline generator I programmed, and the same walking bassline generator modified a bit for the vibraphone (which is really samples of a Mellotron because I was too lazy to find good vibraphone samples or finish my banded waveguide percussion patch).

Thanks! Yeah, my (perverted) instinct is to use Pd like it's a Linux version of Songsmith to the quadrillionth power.

yes we are on the same page. I've had some laughable efforts on my own, the only seemingly coherent part of it was obi's jazzdrumsamplebox. Now there is a serious contender for walking bass.

We're going to blow songsmith out of the pond.

yeah perfect synergy with the obi drums for sure. amazing. wow.

Where does the bass sound come from? Is that synthesis or samples?

Everything is samples. The drums are probably from http://www.sampleswap.org/ and the bass is edited from http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS.doublebass.html.

Wow thanks ichabod... That's a very nice collection of classical samples...

can't find the [sort], whatsit do? in goes a list, bang out comes a sorted list?

Yeah, it's part of Zexy. I also used [urn] somewhere to get different permutations of [expr] results each time.

I think the last one had some execution order problems, so here's a fixed version (hopefully).
