Re: [LAU] How to write beats

Hallo, schoappied hat gesagt: // schoappied wrote: Okay, here's a quick tour through the patch (which is missing because it's a sunday afternoon *fun* project and writing documentation is not as much fun as patching...) After you've opened s-beatschool.pd, search the orang "ezdac~" object. Click the toggle "DSP" on and raise the volume slider. If you now click the "b", "s", "h", ... message boxes in the right area, you should hear the drums. The "dmetro" object is the central timing object. Swith it on and off with the square white toggle button above it. The default pattern should play. You can change the tempo with the "bpm" number box right of the toggle button. Just click on it, hold the mouse and drag up and down. Change swing with the "swing" numberbox. Values about 0.5 or 0.6 are nice. Use "Shift-click" to change the numbers in smaller steps. Finally you can change patterns with the subpatch called "pd switchpattern". Open it by clicking, then press the various message box flags. I threw in a little tanh-distortion and phaser effect for no additional cost. HOTH. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
