Drummer's Friend


#1

Hi,

I am currently creating a patch that takes the midi from an electronic drum (will update to analogue waveform input soon) and then does a simple tap tempo using averages and spits that out thru midi for my synthesizers, so that all my equipment syncs with my terrible drumming (which is averaged out so doesn't sound so terrible anymore haha).

I also will add in sound patches, beat repeaters, fading echo, accompanying shakers, etc. as my drum set is very basic.

I couldn't find anything like this so I thought I'd make it :slight_smile:

If anyone has already done, is doing, or knows of a commercial product, please let me know.

Rohan.

I'm having problems converting the millli-seconds between the taps into something that the midi clock out axo can understand. I've already modified the midi clock out axo to take an input instead of it's own dial, so it now needs a value between 0 and 64 from the milli-second gap measurer, which is an int32.

Anyone ?

Sounds like a great project, I've seen something like this before based on a max patch but I forget the name.
The patchwas analising tempo and adding in fx and glitches based on the playing.

You might wanna have a look into drj/midi/clock_tx by @DrJustice . It's a midi out that can be fed with pulses.

I've build a tap tempo to midi clock supbpatch using the clock2timing object by @SirSickSik
You could use this to feed the clock out.

Tapsync 2.axs (11.2 KB)

P.S. if there is an external midi clock coming in, the subpatch will use this instead of the tap tempo!

I will definently have to check out that patch!

Check out B-Keeper to see a MaxForLive plugin that sounds like it's what you're after. But I hope you keep working on your own Axoloti project that does this!
