A way to help you make nice max code you can reuse in future.
It has 1 external dependency which is the Jasch object createfolder. This is easy to install with the MaxMSP package manager.
various tools to keep in your top-level patch. Almost all of them work as bpatchers with a simple and clean interface to more complex functions underneath;
Initiate a stream of loadbangs in order to trigger loading of your patches in the right order, see mp.setupFolder below.
This is an essential patch and relies on Jasch's createfolder object. Give this abstraction an argument and it will setup a folder of that name and store the full and correct filepath for that folder inside a value or v object. Bang the v object anywhere in your patch to get the fullpath. In association with mp.init, this also manages setting up folder reltaionships for standalones. It's a really useful tool.
An interface for ensuring your soundcard is working. You can setup inputs and outputs here, the sample rate and buffer delay size? Clicking on the little more button brings up more detailed audio card management.
The tool will also send out a fade which you can connect directly to your DAC~ to prevent clicks to the PA when turning on and off your patch's audio processing. This fade function, relies on mp.quickFade~ and a little soundfile called epoIncDec.wav.
Not sure how nescessary this really is now that adsr~ works so well. However, this creates a fade in over however many milliseconds you specify as the argument. It also fades out over the same period and spits out a delayed 0 to stop recording etc. once the fade has completed. Send a toggle in to trigger the fade.
An interface to MaxMSP's pattrstorage system allowing naming, renaming and insertion of presets. Every time a preset is made the presets are saved to disk.
This is an in-patch quick recorder that makes a new file name every time it is triggered. It's setup to record 4 channels at present but could be hacked to add more or less channels if you wanted. This is not mc. ready as yet, but a version could easily be made that works in this way. Every file recorded will have a fade in at the beginning and end, times are specified via the adsr commands that you can see. Samplerate will be the samplerate of Max at the time of recording. Bit depth will be 24 by default and it will spit out .wav files.
As always, no pressure to use any of these tools but as they've been developed and tend to work quite well, give them a try so that you can concentrate on the sound design and compositional interaction and performability of your patch.
