Hi,can anyone help me please with any advice on how to build a chord progression device,
the best example is this application i bought for the iphone called "CHORDBOT"
http://chordbot.com/

i love it!,but even dough your'e able to export midi chord progressions from your phone, it'll be nice if i'm able to incorporate a device like this in M4L.

Thanks in advance!!!

Thank you very much, this is exactly what i was looking for!
But i don't own max/msp, i only have M4L and i really don't know how to copy this patches into M4L.

Thank you very much!

made a super quick video to briefly explain how to do it. (it had to be quick to keep file size + uploading to minimum).

here: http://www.screencast.com/t/qI5Od4mtdL

once you download the zip file, read the installation text. copy the files to the location it says.
in M4L goto File->Open, then locate the file you just saved - "Modal_Object_Library"

when that loads, then just copy and paste the patch into your M4L patch.

please remember that many Max/MSP and M4L devices can have a license. This means you always credit the person/company from where you took the code.
(have a look on cycling74 or ableton forum for more info on that)

hope that helps. you cxan apply same technique for using any of max/msp patches in m4l.

JRS1 Thank you very much,
I really apreciate this, thanks for taking some time to post this, I'm always going to credit the person who makes things happen because it is hard work!
Thanks again!

I've started working on a Master/Slave device transposition setup, so I can transpose a bunch of midi tracks at once to do chord progressions across my whole set (which is pretty handy when playing live or jamming from clips). I'd like to incorporate MOL as well, so I can handle different scales and chords more easily (at the moment it's just doing basic semi-tone shifts).

Is this the sort of thing you're after? Maybe we could work together.

Thanks for posting this up!

How can i get it to sync with live's tempo, it looks like it's on it's own?!

it's generally best to try and get through all the tutorials to get a good grasp on max.
really would recommend it, just try 2 a day or something, they're written quite well.

anyway, in this particular case (if you look at my vid above).

you can work out that [metro 400] object is controlling everything.

you can make a metro object quantised to LIVE my changing the number after it to 4n
[metro 4n]

that will be a crotchet (one bang every beat of the bar).

you can try 8n or 16n to make it faster.
or 1n or 2n to make it slower.
