Hi everyone,

I'm not really a programmer and i need help creating some patches that i can keep and use to generate midi for my compositions. Nothing too complex. I can't afford Max, so will have to be in either PD or Bidule i guess?

Idea 1

I need a patch that generates a metronome rhythm, just a simple note on/note off metronome for one definable note, but with the ability to control the speed of the rhythm, from slow, to really fast, on the fly and with the note length set as a percentage of the interval between notes, again changeable on the fly. This then goes out to my DAW to trigger a sample.

Idea 2

Pretty much the same as Idea 1, but with a definable range of note outputs, so as to trigger different samples within a soft sampler in the DAW, choosing each sample randomly.

Idea 3

Same as Idea 2, but output to go to a synth. So would be cool to be able to output chords and for each note on trigger to also output random triggers for lfo/cut off/other cool parameters etc. too.

Idea 4

I'd also like a simple sequence tool which outputs a short repeating predefined sequence of midi note on and note off to send to the DAW, but where I can control and change the interval/time between each note on trigger on the fly to create varied and interesting patterns and again where the note length is changeable on the fly and set as a percentage of the interval between notes.

I want to record the midi output into a DAW where i can then edit it down into the most interesting bits and build compositions.

None of the ideas need a GUI. I just want these useful tools to keep and produce works with and that I can maybe add to and develop in the future when I've learned how to program!

Any ideas, help building or tips would be really appreciated!

Thanks,

Henry

These will help you.

Wow these tutorials are awesome. I can see exactly how I can use parts of those patches to control the parameters I want!... Whether I can actually figure out how to do it is another matter! Thanks.
