Interactive Sound Environments: Blog part seven
I have not been on this blog for a while because I have been very busy upgrading my prototype so it will be more interactive with the users, I have made my Max MSP virtual guitar playable on midi keyboards and created a new section where the users can type in numbers on the chord strings and play chords in any pattern they want, the number work as milliseconds so if you type in 0 and then the next notes going up in 100s each string would be played a second apart, there is also up and down strokes to the chord patterns. You can type in completely random numbers in and make different picking patterns. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to add more chords I made the chords from A to G and A to G in minor also.
I have one problem I can't figure out, I wanted to make a note cut off instantly when another not it played on the same fret, I think the only way to get around it would be to delete and re do the key part of my project but I really do not have time anymore to mess around. I also wanted to add velocity levels but I'm not sure I will have time, my project crashed loads in the patching mode but in presentation mode it works perfect. If the cut off part work my guitar app would of been a complete success and act exactly like a real guitar would.
I will now create a option to open my project with another software such as logic pro so I can add amp sounds and effect to make my virtual guitar sound really cool.
