Here's a patch that lets you select whatever notes you like, and it'll randomly cycle through only the pitches you've selected.

Note_Selector_Rand.pd

Hi all,

I just ran into a problem the other day while working on a couple of patches. They open fine, no problem when ASIO4all is not selected as the driver, and they both used to work just fine with ASIO4all selected and default settings. I can't think of anything that has changed between then and now. What really confuses me is this: I changed the location of my patch projects (simply for organizational purposes), and was surprised to find that for one of these patches, the crashing problem has resolved itself. For the other one (same file location), it still crashes. Do any of you smart peeps have any insight?

The patch that now works for me is this:
Guitar Effects2.pd

And the one that is still problematic:
Looper 3.pd

Thanks in advance!

Here you go! I utilized this concept a while back in a patch I made for selecting random pitches from a user-defined list. I just altered it a bit to meet the needs you stated, as long as I understand correctly.

Random_Selector.pd

Here's one that specifically addresses the issue of "driven by attacks" where [fiddle~] detects attacks, which triggers a customizable ADSR envelope which is then in turn used to control [svf~].

ADSR_wah.pd

@EEight I had posted it in patch~ a while back, but because I've made some fixes since that version:

Guitar Effects2.pd

A little late to this discussion but here's one that I created as part of my guitar effects suite. It has the option of switching between lowpass, bandpass, and highpass or a combination, plus adjustable cutoff and resonance for lots of customization!

It works by controlling the center frequency of [svf~] using the amplitude of the input signal.

Hey guys,

Here's my latest project - a patch for approximating the Mbira music of the Shona people of Zimbabwe. At the moment, I have it set up to play a pattern called Nhema Musasa as proof of concept (the only one I could find western sheet music for) but I plan on doing some transcriptions of others, and making the whole patch more interactive.

The Hosho is a percussion instrument similar to maracas - a gourd filled with seeds which I approximated with filtered white noise. The Kushaura and Kutsinhira parts are both mbira "thumb-pianos". To approximate the sound of those, I did some research on bell partials, and adjusted values until I got something reasonably close.

@rjp9 Thanks! I compared both [noise~] and [pink~] to ocean sound recordings on youtube, and decided that [pink~] was the closer match, and therefore would be lower maintenance in terms of filtering. That's the only reason.

If you're looking for it to be a switch/selector in the GUI, you can also use the [vradio] or [hradio] objects for this, as only one option can be selected at a time. I also prefer it over toggle for this purpose, as clicking can only select, not deselect. I've included a little patch to demonstrate.

Hradio selector.pd

And here's yet another one with presets and with a nice GUI.

Enjoy!
