This is a Max5 patch that I've made in class to use with my Akai LPD8 midi controller. I have two identical patches running side by side each with two different wave form reading. The first is an extract from one of my own compositions; a short ambient piece making the most of electronic effects over a piano section. The second wave form is a continuous fast drum loop. I use two of the eight pads on my LPD8 to switch each sample on or off, I am then using the ctlin knobs what happens with the waveforms; 1 scrolls through the wave form, the 2nd second scrolls so we can loop a smaller section, the 3rd controls the speed at which we play back from 1 to 15 to give the effect of a higher pitch and the 4th knob -1 to -15 to give us lower pitches. As there is 8 pads the first row controls the drum sample patch and the second row controls the ambient extract. Playing these two pieces together and manipulating smaller sections at different speeds and times creates a whole new original piece of music.
