The Building Live Loopers in Max example patchers provide the complete set of downloadable companion software used throughout the book Building Live Loopers in Max.
The book Building Live Loopers in Max is available here.
This package includes the full collection of Max patchers featured in the book, covering:
- Tape-style loopers — fixed-length loops inspired by classic tape-based designs
- Multitrack loopers — layer multiple loops asynchronously or synchronously
- Overdubbing loopers — manipulate pitch, speed, direction, and effects while looping
- gen~ and RNBO examples — explore low-level signal processing, sample-accurate control, and portable, exportable workflows
Whether you’re a student, performer, or educator, these example patchers offer hands-on tools for experimenting, composing, and performing with live looping in Max.
