Max MSP Korg Nano Pad Patch



As a result of working with the Korg Nano Pad  and  Max MSP, I have managed to create my own patch which is featured in the video above which shows myself demonstrating and experimenting with the patch that I have created.
After connecting the Pad and carrying out a MIDI Tester on Max MSP, I wanted to create a patch that was suitable for the trigger and X/Y pads on the Nano Pad. From this, I started my patch with a "notein" object which receives MIDI information sent from the Nano Pad, after this I routed each of the 12 trigger pads through using both the "strip note" and the "route" objects. Ultimately this gave me the ability to create unique and different sounds for each of the trigger pads, I achieved this through the "cycle- object" which is an interpolating oscillator that has allowed me to create sounds for each pad. Furthermore, with the X/Y axis I wanted to use this to control the frequency of one of my pad sounds, I achieved this through using the "ctlin" object as well as the "mtof" object which gave me the ability to change the frequency of the trigger pad.
The picture below is the Max MSP Nano Pad Patch that I have created:
