[microsound] RE: skipping cd effect

[". -" <flashram000@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

to answer yr question, the easiest way to achieve a similar effect to that 
of a cd skipping in max/msp is by messing around w/ the loop points.  i find 
that the easiest way to do this is by using the groove~ object, because it 
already has two inlets for number boxes for adjusting loop points.

DFX's buffer-override VST plug-in also works really well for emulating this 
effect.  it might even work better because it has more of a randomized feel 
to it, and you can sync the tempo in a variety of ways.  the best part about 
it is that it's free.

for future reference i find that the three best resources for max questions 
are 1) the help files - each object has one, and each help file is a patch 
in itself, so you can pick it apart and figure out how it operates; 2) the 
tutorials; 3) the max/msp list - you can subscribe from the cycling 74 
website, and i've never done this, but you can check their archives.  people 
post their own patches on the list all the time too, so you can pick those 
apart and see how other people are usign max.

i just realized that perhaps i should have sent this e-mail directly 
off-list, but i've already deleted the original.  please forgive me, it's 
early in the "morning" for me.  sorry if this redundant for any max 
veterans. hope i answered question sufficiently.  have fun, and don't get 
too obesessed.  it's real easy to : )

happy music making,
