CC3 Week 4 - Splice & Dice
I'm not convinced that my patch even works this week which is unfortunate because it looks good! I have used the example code and have my drum parts playing as a break beat with the stuttering. However the stuttering isn't controlling how I want it to. The stutter-chance is meant to be controlled using the sliders.
Below is my code. For an audio example click here [1.7MB].
You will need to place these samples [204KB] on the desktop for my code to work.
