Hi everbody!

i´m looking for a good way to create a special sample player.

the player gets his input via java-midi (or any midi controler). the idea is simple, i´ve got 10 samples of music, all about 2 seconds long, and i want them to be played in a loop until there is a note off command. so for example i press down the c on my midi-keyboard (note 60) and the sample 5 starts playing over and over until i release the key. i´ve got the ctlin to work to listen so a specific controler, eg [ctlin 50 6] gives me the output of controller 50 von chanel 6, that works fine, but i cant get [notein 0 60] to just give me the output for the velocity (to control the volume of an infinit loop of sample 5). has anybody got a quick and dirty idea how i can create a simple pd patch to make an easy keyboard sampler?

thanks in advance!

i'm at work, so i can't test it, but maybe this could help you:

[notein]
| |
[pack] <--- packs notepitch and velocity value
|
[route 60 61 62 63 ...and so on] <--- routes note-on/off to the corresponding pitch

are you from germany? it would be much easier for me, to describe it in german...
if you have a problem with the patch i posted, i may upload a patch with german comments when i'm back home...

German mode +1:

OHa, ja, etwas vertippt... aber ja, richtig geraten :D.
Also, wenn ein Note on für eine bestimmte Note kommt, dann soll ein bestimmtes (zugeordnetes) Sample so lange geloopt werden, bis der entsprechende note off für die Note kommt.
Im weiteren Verlauf des Patchs werden dann effekte wie vibrato und tremolo auf das Audiosignal gelegt, die über midi-controler Werte gesteuert werden (das klappt bisher auch ganz gut).

mhhh, maybe it's not a good idea to post in german in this forum, since most people here are not familar with this language and they may also want to know the answer to your question....
but it seems that i got you right, check out the attached patch, this should be a good starting point. comments are in german.

Okay, thank you very much! this helped a lot. Now the main problem is the looper. i only found patches with lots of features like time and pitch shifting, but nothing that just simply lets me hardcode a file (like home/music/test.wav) and let it loop over and over. so with your patch i could easily use the 1 or 0 trigger to set the volume to 1 (Full) or 0 (mute), but by now, my looper is way to complex. does anybody have an idea how to create a very very simple loop player for wave-files?

maybe this is a simple looper like you want it to... you should check out the examples in the help browser, there are some good patches...

edit: just connect one of the outputs of the [route] object to the "on / off" toggle and there you go....
