# Majors Max Rig {% embed url="" %} The goal for this patch was to create and emulate a DJ controller using Max. The approach I used was plan, learn, and execute. I really wanted to learn how to use max objects and use the functions of Mira in a way that my ideas were not diminished by my knowledge. I first made a plan of all the features I wanted to achieve. * DJ Controller * UI & Features * Two Turntables * Transport Control * X-Y Pad for Effects * Toggle For effects * Swipe for Pitch Shift * Text Display * Swipe for Tempo Control (Universally in Sync) * Effect when changing tempo * Text Display * Meters to display amplitude * Sliders to adjust gain of different features * Crossfader Feature * Buttons to Go Hard Left, Middle, Right * Sampler Pads for Chops * Sampler Pads for One-Shots I then created the UI to visualize the concept and inspire me to implement the features. Canva was used to create vinyl pictures. After completing the UI. I used the mira.multitouch help patch to learn how to capture touch input. I used various techniques to convert the output to be useful. Scale was used in many cases. Creating the sampler took a little more effort. I used the segments in the mira frade to create individual pads. I created a subpatch to send section information. The playlist\~ object does not start the section from the beginning when sending section messages. I got around this by using delays to stop the sound, send the message, and then play the sound while still being useful in performance. Throughout the patch I used send and receive objects to make the patch look neater and route signals or messages to multiple objects. The sound FXs’ sound was routed to a separate output so that when using crossfading, you can still hear the other tracks' wet effect signal. There were many small obstacles I had to overcome for each separate system, but I continued to use the reference and max cookbook to view examples when needed. Overall, I was able to implement everything I originally planned for.
