Here’s a max/msp patch I’ve been fiddling with for the few days since my 40h showed up. It controls four audio loopers, each represented by a 4×4 grid on the monome. Not all of the buttons are mapped to anything useful yet:
12..
12..
1...
1..3
1: this column shows a VU meter for the loop in question. pressing the buttons will momentarily adjust the feedback (normally 100%)—the top two make it louder (press them both for the largest gain) and the bottom two make it quieter (ditto for a quick fade.) you can tap the buttons in time with the sound to boost/cut bits of the loop.
2: these two buttons momentarily engage recording, overdubbing into the loop. the lower one records at a slightly lower volume; again, you can press both to record louder.
3: this is a “function” key. right now, the only defined function is to clear the loop—hold down this button and hit the bottom-left button.
There’s still a lot of work to do on this; I need to hook up buttons to adjust loop length on the fly, dump the current loop to a file, etc. It does work in Pluggo, but there’s only one pair of outputs; it would be nice to have individual outs for each loop. Also, the loops are currently mono.
All the same, I’ve been having a blast with it. If I could only vocalize like Jamie Lidell…
