Pure Data tasks done!

I have good news - I have completed the set Pure Data tasks. I'm still going to tinker around with it to see what I can do with it. Here are screen grabs of the new additions:


Above we have a quarter tone scale, which is activated by clicking the bang in the top left corner. This not only sets off the first tone but sets off the delay chain on the right hand side - which adds 0.5 to the MIDI value of the frequency - which increases it a quarter tone (adding 1 each time would increase it each time by a semi-tone). There is an on/off switch for the audio output, a 'stop' button which stops the delay chain, and a send/receive set of objects to clear up screen space.


Above we have a logarithmic glissando. Similar to the quarter tone scale patch, there is a delay chain (albeit somewhat smaller than before) which activates the frequencies in the message boxes that follow on logarithmically from the original one ('55'). Again there is an on/off function for the audio output and a stop function (this time wired).


Last but not least here is a linear glissando. As with the previous two patches, there is a delay chain which means only one bang has to be clicked. From the first bang click, the input into the mtof object (midi to frequency) increases by 1 (a semi-tone). Also there is an on/off switch for the audio ouput and a stop function - using a send/receive set.

I have enjoyed creating these patches, and as I said before I am going to play around a bit more with Pd to see what I can do with it.

It is from today's tutorial that I have realised I am getting ahead of myself on this module, so this module may take a back seat to the other two - I will still be posting every week however!
