My First PD Patch
Well, this is the first
PD patch I've made that I think is functional enough to share with others. It's a 4 channel looping delay bank and it only uses
internal objects!
Download it here.
I've been listening to a lot of live music where the performer uses multi-channel delay lines to construct a song. Perhaps the most amazing performer who can do this is
Tyondai Braxton. I don't know what brand of gear he uses but I know whatever it is the delay buffers are huge, sometimes as long as 45 seconds to a minute. He'll sample an entire verse of a song (that he's playing live on a guitar), loop it, and start adding more channels. Its kind of fucking amazing.
The other inspiration for this patch is
Don Caballero, and specifically,
this record which I listen to a lot and think is totally rad.
Not surprisingly, Ty Braxton and Ian Williams (the guitarist from Don Cab) have joined a band named
Battles (amusingly enough searching for nothing more than the word "battles" on google returns their site as number two, below American Civil War battle stories) along with John Stanier, the drummer from Helmet and Dave Konopka, the bass player from Lynx.
So yeah, listen to all this music, go see all these folks play live. They are awesome. If you want to make music like them but don't have mad money for the phatty delay gear (but for some reason have money for a computer) use this PD patch and you can do the same. Email me if you're putting it to good use or make some improvements.
