hi

im a totally newb,and i have to admit i would rather do this in plogue bidule,because plogues interface helps me to give a better overview,but maybe i can use Pd with plogue and renoise someway

what i would have the patch to do is be able to have a cuople of long samples playing and then be able to trigger different samples,mute/un-mute channels,and put different effects on channels

just a basic set-up

anyway to go about this?and if there was a way to also get a good interface that would be sweet-ass

Just a question - why do you want to do this in Pd, is it a learning experiment?

yeah it would help me learn alot about PD

The framework idea is essentially the same as bidule, but you get just that little bit lower level. So for a looper, there isn't a built in one with PD - you have to create your own (how you want). If you go through the built in help browser and its Audio examples, you'll learn the raw basics of how to achieve this. If you're familiar with the building blocks in Bidule then you're part the way there.

a couple of really cools resources are:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/puredata - for the basics of pd
http://www.pd-tutorial.com/ - for creating compositional systems and ideas

hope this helps!

thanx will check it out
