Objective:

The objective of this assignment is roughly parallel to the very first assignment of the class: create a patch in which a sound (a voice spoken into a microphone) appears at four later points in time, each manipulated in a slightly different way. In this case, however, you are dealing with live acoustic sound.

Specific Requirements:

1. The sound must come directly through with no delay..

2. There must be 4 similarly constructed modules that provide delay with feedback.

3. The most blatant use of these modules would be to provide a delayed sound with a specific feedback rate that emulates an echo. Remember, however, that short tap times and shifting tap times (employing a changing tap time controlled by a line~ message/object) will give more interesting results and you should include both of these options in your settings (4 below).

4. All aspects of this patch must be user controllable via number boxes and you must create and save 4 interesting versions of the settings via the preset object.

5. The final output must have a volume control slider.

6. The patch must be user-friendly!

7. Choose a fragment of text and make a recording of your most interesting preset.

Suggestions:

1. You should be able to accomplish all of this with a limited number of objects. The primary objects will be the tapin~/tapout~ combination.

2. You might consider using the above combination as an initial router to the four modules. That would set the initial time delay of the appearance of each module but not limit the settings of the modules.

3. Create some means of making sure that the final dac~ does not get overloaded and distort.

Format:

1. Patch labeled "Voices" in your folder on the hard drive plus an aiff soundfile labeled "My Voices" of the recording of one version that you have made
