Making a Sampler in Max MSP with wave~

Today we’re building a basic signal-controlled sampler in Max MSP. This basic patch is an excellent foundation for a drum sampler, a looper, or any other sample-based instrument built in Max. This sampler allows you to select the region of the sample you want to play back and allows you to change the pitch by adjusting the playback speed.

Here’s the patch: https://github.com/pdmeyer/philip-mey...
