*Building the Snipper device*
Let’s build a device that records some audio in a buffer and plays back random segments at a random pitch. 

Look at track 1 to see the end result, then continue to track 2 and open the /Audio signals/ device, following the steps and continuing on to the next devices in order of appearance.

*Topics*
This lesson will show you how to:
-> Visualize audio with scopes
-> Generate repeating and random signals
-> Write to and read from buffers
-> Use send and receive objects
-> Create delay feedback
-> Maintain readability using subpatchers

Bonus:
-> Use multichannel connections

After the last step in the last device, continue to the next Set to learn about $Link Making Instruments <Set:../../3 Instruments/Instruments.als>.
