Max for Live
Max for Live puts the power and potential of Max/MSP inside Live. Create all the instruments, effects and extensions you've ever wanted. Go beyond the common and predictable, and transcend the limits that conventional tools impose. Build completely unique synths and effects, create algorithmic composition tools, or fuse Live and controller hardware into radical, new music machines. Join a society of makers and share ingenuity.

Yep.

Nup.

Saw this on demo at Frankfurt, had a nice long chat with the dude and still have no idea wtf. I'm not so smart when it comes to clever stuff like Max tho... Pre-fab synths and fx are the thing for me. A huge boon to the nerdy nerd nerd crowd tho I'm sure. ;D

Links to Max/MSP inventor Miller Puckette's book on synthesis and PureData (PD) which has some similarities to Max (although even rawer and more code-oriented).

I had to track down that quote just to see if there was any positives in that remark...

Since I enjoyed Luke's post with pictures of instruments so much, here's my own. Luke is a lot better with a digital camera than me. This is more or less everything that made noises on a remix I just finished for Radiohead. More on that later.





You know you're not in the mood for music when you open max/msp.. but this actually was the moment where the whole remix started being good. I made this patch to split a polyphonic part out to different monophonic instruments on different midi outs. In this case, different oscillators on the modular synth above playing the bassline. This was totally fun, and it works with monophonic vst plugins too. You can download an .exe version of the patch here. (Possibly the lamest max patch anyone's ever put up for download, and yes, I'm totally aware it's a cludge and doesn't really work right, but that adds to the fun..) You'll need Midi-Yoke from here to route midi between your sequencer, the patch, and back to your vstis."

OK, so it's not all bad, I guess?
