In max I used an add-on object called karma~, it’s a basic sample looper with varispeed controls. During the performance this allows me to take a motif from Oisin’s keyboard and continue to develop on it while he is free to move to explore other material. With this concept in consideration I decided that I needed to record the keyboard output into a buffer (rather than processing the continuous audio), so that I could pull it back at anytime and then layer snippets of sounds over each other.
#Karma motif software software
I gave myself the task of creating a device that could take the limited range of sounds from the Casio keyboard and and construct them into a multi-timbral piece of music in a performance setting. I used MAX/MSP as my platform to construct the software element of our DSP device because of it’s flexibility, signal processing abilities, and detailed documentation. I decided to design the digital signal processing proportion of our system while Oisín decided to look after the circuit bending of the Casio keyboard. We did this by designing each part of our system separately but taking the integration of our components into consideration. With a large task ahead of us it became clear that we needed to distribute the work between us efficiently.
