Project
Android Loop Pedal
My project is a guitar loop pedal which is controlled from phone that acts as a controller for a max patch. It has 4 different channels being played on a loop other than live guitar sound. It is possible to change different settings such as timing, duration of the loops and speed of the composition through OSC Sound Cool App.
Here is a short demonstration: https://vimeo.com/327503954
How To Use It:
1. First, a good connection between guitar and computer is required. This can be done with a usb interface or a different type of audio card.
2. Download max msp and File:Deniz Ekin Polat LoopPedal.maxpat to your computer and Osc Sound Cool to your phone.
3. Open Max Msp and go to Options > Audio Status and be sure that your audio intarface is set as the input and output device.
4. Press windows + R and type Cmd, then type ipconfig.
5. Open OSC Sound Cool App from your phone and type your IP which is shown as IPv4 address. Then type "7878" as port. Press "Connect".
6. Open the patch and be sure that you get this message from console. If not, please check your firewall settings and allow Max 8 to connect the network.
7. Go to the Audio tab from the app and start the patch from sampler tab, first section stop button. In order to start using the loop channels, simply press play button of each channel then start playing. Different setting such as speed, timing and duration of the loops can be controlled from the patch.
8. In order to record what you play, go to extras > Quickrecord select a directory and press record.
Set up
For the final project I'm working on a patch which would produce algorithmic music and live music at the same time ny using my electric guitar as a sound source and my android phone as a controller.
My plan is to create a setup which looks like this in the end:
