In the video, I showed the main pd patch with a demo. After plugging in MIDI keyboard, I inputted several keys / chords to show how my 6-channel phase shifting design works. Documentation shown on the left side of the screen.




Documentation

In this documentation, I'll briefly explain how to use my main patch 'Final_presentation.pd'.

Before opening 'Final_presentation.pd':
  1. Plug in the midi keyboard before opening the pd patch.
    2. -- Reopen the pd file if the keyboard is connected later.
    -- Open MIDI Settings under Media to choose the input device.
When using 'Final_presentation.pd':
  1. Choose a moderate value of the Hslider in the 'output~L-R.pd' object.
  2. Choose 'L' and/or 'M' and/or 'R' to decide the channels for the output of sounds.
  3. Click the toggle under the date & weather: to make sure:
    4. -- wave will be collected to the array 'scope';
    -- attack-sustain-release channels are open.
  4. Play the keys to hear the sounds.
    5. -- Simultaneous wave can be seen in the table called 'scope'.
    -- The Vsliders of 'phase1-5' can be used during the sound playing.
