Building A Modulation Delay In Gen~
Membership plan: Going Deeper | Topics: Sound Design
Course overview
Cycling 74’s Max / MSP’s Gen~ offers a vast playground of audio processing opportunities to create your own audio devices. In this workshop you will build your own modulation delay line that utilizes Gen for signal processing. This workshop aims to provide you with suitable skills to begin exploring modulation delay line devices in the Gen~. Gen provides highly optimised audio processes that matches C++ and is the ideal technology for improving complex Max patches and free CPU.
What you'll learn
- Utilise the Gen~ Delay operator to make a circular buffer
- Building comb filters via FIR & IIR techniques
- Execute modulation sources
- Develop custom audio effects such as flanging and chorusing
Who is this course for?
- Max users who want to get further with signal processing
- Users who want to begin exploring modulation delay line devices in Gen~

Dear Massimiliano thank you for the tutorial, but please advise on how to make these delays effects in stereo? Could you please add it in this course? I think flanger and chorus in general should create a stereo picture is’nt it?
