Hey Guys.
Im new to PD and trying to use PD instead of using MAX(which i have some experience in)
for lots of obvious reasons.
Im working on a project that involves manupulation of a wav sound file. Basically I have 20 switches hooked up to an arduino board that will change the pitch, tempo, duration of the sound. I can figure out the arduino side and get signals in PD.
My question is how do I change the pitch and other sound qualities to turn the sound file into white noise when the switches are randomly clicked. I dont know if I'm making sense here but imagine it like.
5 switches are for pitch control. each will send a particular number for the pitch.
5 switches are for dration. each send different numbers for duration.
and some for delay or repeating of the sound or anything that will turn the sound into a cool sounding white noise.
and once they are not engaged it will all go back to original settings.
I would appriciate any help, any quick and dirty patches to get me started.
