some software i am making in max

[machinesleet]

Oh yes! Me! Me! I'm interested! 
Any possibility of a Max for Live version?

What do you think of these new max for live devices? Can you see yourself buying/using them? http://tiny.cc/lwrxy

I'm a bit hesitant to get in to M4L, because I'm not sure I'd want to go against the idea of being able to edit effects. So then you're selling your patch. What's to stop it being shared around? morals?

I wouldn't buy those Max For Live patches, not so much because they aren't editable but because they don't seem to do anything new that I couldn't build myself. Your patch I would buy. I seriously doubt I would ever be able to create something like that with my minimal Max skills, and because it has it's own personality (based on the video you posted). I totally understand not wanting to get involved with locked Max For Live patches, I've seen only negative reactions to the Puremagnetik release from the Max For Live community. Perhaps it's best that Max For Live remains sort of open source (only for people who own Max for Live obviously) since the ability to edit the plugin is kind of the point. Personally though, I've opened and edited very few of the patches I've downloaded. If it works, I don't really mess around inside it.

I guess the reactions here sum the spectrum of reactions up pretty well: http://createdigitalmusic.com/2010/07/29/max-fuel-a-bundle-of-max-for-live-devices-debuts

The most interesting m4l patches I have seen so far were free or ports of Max Patches. That said, if anyone is interested in some dirty ports of reverbs (gverb/newverb), feel free to pm me. As they are messy I would not feel too comfortable uploading them...

for the nerdy/curious, fresh from c74 forumz:

The device contains code which checks to see if it is running inside MFL as a plug, and if it is not, it closes itself using the dispose message to thispatcher.

so yeah a smart lil bit of tweaky code there.

I'm fairly certain that Ableton/C74 will release an M4L runtime - it only makes sense, but as the CDM comments thread states quite clearly, M4L is pretty much in a very experimental phase right now.  again, don't use it, probably won't, but this is the start of an ongoing thing for sure.

that said, if machinesleet eventually does make his little jammer M4L-able, there is definitely going to be a market there.    (so sort out the code tip I posted above everyone!)  Think of it like the iPhone app market - a cool little tool/toy/instrument for yr platform (in this case, Live).

Looks really nice.
I don't use Max but still.
(shame they stopped with that VST plugin)

Hi everyone,

I should be set up to sell by the end of the year, maybe in time for Christmas!

Anyway, made this little patch for the nano control, 9 variable size sine oscillators with panning. The frequencies are generated from random noise, and the pretty colours are generated by me.

This is just the display at the moment and I haven't really thought about the UI.

Here's a little demo of something I made towards the start of the year. Plenty of info in the description.

This is a really fine software that you are making....I would buy it!!!

Just drop us note when its ready.

Your demonstration looks very nice.

Here is the small demonstration of looper that I'm making in max/msp

Best.

oh yeah I remember this discussion about a circular buffer on the Max forum. Nice...!

Best.

I noticed that on the forum too. Your software looks great

Just a heads up for everyone, I've finished my MA and at the moment I'm spending all my time getting things ready to sell online.

If you're interested in testing the software before release, please email me at: machinesleet4 (at) gmail.com

A little rundown of the software if you're interested...


1. Feedback -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKn_vNscNDU

The concept of this is to have feedback regulated by a compressor. The software can work a lot like a looper, and is also really useful for creating drones, or even just playing about with the input effects / granular playback. The times for each of the 20 delays can be set manually, or in relation to a global BPM.

2. Generative - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsy716A23vU

Discussed quite a lot already in this thread . I've added some variation controls to the user input, so the playheads aren't so static. I've also improved the CPU usage by a huge amount! Who knew how expensive waveform~ was? Basically it's automatic granular playback of a file, based upon segments defined by amplitude in the analysed audio.

3. Sampler - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hOV5YunzO8

I'm actually trying to think of a decent name for this. I had called it Akufen for my uni work, as it's inspired by his cut-up style. The idea behind this software is to create random samples from one or a number of audio files. A folder can be loaded and each of the 16 voices 'randomised'. This creates a new start point for the sample. Optionally there are settings to randomise the filter settings, length of the sample, pitch of the sample (by equal tempered of random), the panning, whether the envelope is on or off, if the file loops, and the file name if a folder is loaded. Once a usable sample is found it can be excluded from the randomisation process. Presets can be saved which will load all files and settings, and there is also a 'control' input, which allows you to bash some pads if you want to trigger samples that way (normally triggered by MIDI from a DAW).

Cheers,

Mike

I'd be happy to test/wreck these patches for you.  PM me details if yr keen on it.

Hello Everyone,

Software is currently on sale, I haven't really told many people about it yet because unfortunately I have a problem with the protection scheme on Windows. For the moment it is Mac only but this should be fixed in the next couple of weeks.

If this should be in self promotion I'll stick the link in there

Thanks,

Mike
