@ddw_music Okay, i thought as much, I'm only final stages of my project and I've hit this block. Is there anyway of converting the the midi from the patch below into audio, or get it into an array? I know there must be but I'm struggling to find the solution.Midi chords to audio.pd.

I've got reverb working on my patch, with my drum machine, using [freeverb~]. I know this is a signal object and works with [dac~] but I was wondering if there is something that works for a midi source created using [makenote] and [noteout]?

David, thank you! you've saved my assignment so much over the past few weeks!

So I've got a number box triggering a basic drum machine that I found on YouTube. Essentially the number box going into a gate object, which then only triggers whatever comes from the corresponding outlet. However, my problem here is with the looping of the drum pattern; it plays one loop of the 8 beat sequence perfectly, then stops on beat 4 of the second loop and restarts. How do I get this looping continuously until the number box changes and triggers a different output?
Patch: red dots trigger drums.pd
Video demonstration: red dot triggers drums.mp4

Between my dad and I, we managed to find a much easier solution for my problem as I don't think I explained it very well. I needed to know the number of red objects the patch could see and have this number trigger a specific output. 1 red dot = chord sequence 1, for example. This is what we ended up with chords.mp4

@whale-av After fidling around with the patch in my university seminar, my lecture and I noticed that the x value of the showblob is constant at 9, which doesn't make a lot of sense. Any idea why this is?

@whale-av Ah brilliant! I think i understand it a bit better now, thank you!

Having some trouble fully getting to grips with [pix_multiblob]. The patch attached works in the sense that it is recognizing one of my red squares I move into frame. Not really sure what I can do to get it to recognised the second, as I've been working alongside the help file and have got stuck.

pix multiblob detection.pd

So in more simpler terms, a I've had some time to rethink. Is it possible to use colour detection to trigger a sample stored in an array? So if it picked up a blue object it would play a connected sample?

Hi , thank you! Wasn't sure how else to word it

Hi there...
I'm currently working on a Final Year university project where we have to create a new Creative Music Technology using Pure Data (which we've never used before). My idea consists of using the pix_blob and pix_multiblob to trigger certain outputs. For example, 2 red dots on a card would trigger the 2nd stored chord sequence. To make this more creative and interesting, I want to be able to have one side of the
live video be tasked with detecting colours and triggering chords and the other to be detecting colours and triggering drums. Does anyone know a way of isolating sections of a the video to do this?
