Max/MSP tutorial: Making a transient designer in Gen~

- Something a bit different today - a tutorial video! I've always loved those "Transient Designer" plugins which can dynamically boost/reduce the transient content of a signal. Here I show how to make one in Gen~.
I will follow up with another video how to use RNBO to export this as a VST or AU for use in a separate DAW. (The idea is that all the cash you've spent on a RNBO license will actually save you money in the long run 😉)
PS there are a few audio issues in this video, sorry about that. If I get time I will redo the whole thing with a proper voiceover, instead of this low effort 'laptop mic into ezadc~' solution. - Hudba
This is already mindblowing, and it will be my first real attempt in gen~. You've made this so approachable. Thank youuuuu
Brilliant! One of the best examples of what max/msp gen can do. Could you share a bit on your process of figuring out what needs to be done, algorithmically or DSP wise? Say for example, figuring out that an accum object could handle the short term less than 1 values to create a hold time and smooth out the impulses.
Thanks v much! There’s a really good book called Generating Sound and Organizing Time by Wakefield and Taylor - it is basically a dedicated gen~ cookbook and covers lots of the core concepts for working in gen~. I highly recommend it. The trick with the accum operator was my way of trying to emulate the count~ object in Max, which can be used to very precisely measure elapsed time. (Accum is covered in chapter 2 of the book!)
This was so incredibly helpful, I cannot thank you enough. I have been trying for the last few weeks to make a consistent transient detection and I have to admit that I found gen~ to be pretty intimidating. After watching this I feel a lot more confident and plan to study it more. Again, thank you
You're so welcome!
Very nice and well put together! Thank you!
wow, this is brill - you've persuaded me i need to learn some gen
so very informative, thank you for the explanations, clear and concise.
great video - been obsessing over gen recently
Wonderful, just wonderful!
Brilliant!
gorgeous
Very good this! Thank u
much interesting
Thanks for sharing. Trying to use with guitar notes is predictably not as accurate. it doesn't pick up the transients right at the start, I found it needs a bit of processing first to boost the signal, but still managed to get it working with the right parameter values and amp beforehand.
It can help to remove some bass from the signal first :)

...I love the copium here, hah. I will need heavy convincing to start using RNBO just for personal projects. ...but mainly I just can't afford it rn, heh.
if you patch in gen~ then you can wait a while before you buy rnbo! because whenever you eventually do, you just drop your gen~ patches into rnbo~, hook up some [param]s, and done!!
