HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT (22-sep-2011)

Create your own DJ setup using multiple buffer~ and groove~
objects. Use line~ to smoothly change the speed of your "virtual
turntables." Experiment with looping and non-looping ("one-shot")
sounds. Looking for good sounds to play with? Search on your mac for
the "apple loops for garage band" folder. This has over 1000 music
loops for you to play with!

Remember: anything in sufficient quantity is interesting. If you are
stuck for a new idea, duplicate!

Things to try:

1. Two groove~s playing the same buffer~ at slightly different speeds
(eg. 1.00 and 1.01) -- listen for a while!

2. Grooves playing the same buffer~ in speeds that are multiples of 2
(eg. 1, 2, 4, .5, .25, .125) -- try atarting them all together with a
button connected to the "0" message.

3. Groove~s playing the same buffer~ but starting at different times.

4. Groove~s playing different buffers

5. Crossfading between four Groove~s using a PictSlider

And come up with some things to try yourself -- challenge yourself to
make your patch do 10 things that you understand and can control.
