Add to the patch so that you can use ascii or MIDI keys to mute-unmute, start, resart and stop each loop
Use MIDI and/or the built-in keyboard to control the transposition of each loop.
optional: modify the patch so that the 8 loops refer to 4 buffers~

Download this patch if needed. Combine the code from this patch with older patches so that you can see the recording take place when using [waveform~].

Download this patch observe the different approaches to recalling the delay settings.
Connect a MIDI device, change the [ctlin] arguments so that your device can controll the delay settings. If your device already works, add more [ctlin] objects to controll other settings.
Use the ascii or MIDI keyboard to recall presets. the code included uses the ascii keyboard.
Add additional presets. note how the two different techniques of storing presets in the presets subpatch require different efforts.

Part 1 of 2:: Continue working with the delay patches, right down several numerical values for each of the effects and write down a musical "quality" for each of these settings. Find at least 3 setting for each effect, that are distincly different from the others.

Part 2 of 2:: Download and combine the code in these patches so that you can trigger/fade at least 8 sounds. Sounds can be separate pre-recorded audio files, played back via sfplay~ and can be different delay-based audio effects. Consider different settings for the same type of effect as a different sound.
Email by Sunday night if you are having difficulty with anything.

Part 2 of 2:: Download and add code to this patch so that you can trigger at least 5 different recorded audio files. The current patch is set up to play and stop 3 sound files. you must add at least two more, plus make modifications to the code in order to trigger playback of the addtional sounds.
Begginers: use the built-in keyboard.
Advanced students: find additional ways to trigger the sounds.
Email by wednesday if you are having difficulty with anything (I will be offline thursday).
