Patch presentation
Initialisation procedure is on the top of the patch.
You can adjust the main level with the fader (default is 0 dB )
You can monitor midi infos, cue number and file playing on the right of the patch.
Playing a note run a soundfile if one is attached to this note (see score)
Panic red button stop all the soundfiles.
You can set the audio configuration by double-clicking in the mc.dac~ object.
To check the midinotes/sounds mapping, open play_list_01.
Cues are triggered by the keyboard with specific notes & pgm change.
play_list syntax
"play_list_01" this is the coll file where the soundfiles are defined to be played as the following :
program_change*1000 + midinote | the file name | the level in dB
as example the following line "1038 , mes_003.aif 6;"
means the file "mes_003.aif" is trigger when we are in program 1 (*1000) and play the D1 (38) note (1000 + 38 = 1038), the level is +6dB.
You can test sounds using the graphic keyboard in the "miditester" subpatcher.
