Got it
famcy posting a few 'getting started' tips on here. i wana get into it, but i really cant be doing with working through the manual
Dude - if you're getting into Max then give me a shout sometime, I've done a couple of things but stopped but I'd love someone to bounce ideas off ... it's fabulous thing but sometimes it can be a real head scratcher...
i wana design a bass drum plug-in. i understand the technicals behind how the synth engine will work, but i don't know how to get it all into max, and get it to become an audio unit, or vst at the end result
Hi all, long time no speak baz
Im currently building a random midi sequencer, nothing too flash at the moment, only had it running for a week or so. I will share the final version, its intended on triggering hardware and i should be able to export all the miidi files although I am told theres a way of using MSP patches in cubase using pluggo. No idea how easy that is tho

Re getting started (try these)...
www.thedivide.co.uk/temp/MAX_EXAMPLES.rar
Matboy I followed those and then started from a blank canvas, the manuals are good but also every object comes with a very useful help file. I must admit it takes a long time to figure lots of it tho. If your good at logic systems it helps, with me I think been a reaktor user helped a lot. Also theres a shit load of tutorials that come with it. You can also steal objects from the help filez by unlocking them and cut and pasting them into your creation
Currently I’m having a problem with hanging notes when and I want a midi reset button. Going to have a read in the manual now, I think it’s a the midi flush module
:crackup:
BTW I like the idea of a kick drum plugin. Would it be using pure synthesis or samples? Or a bit of both
I think Dirty Bass posted up a load of free VSTi's focussing on individual drum sounds a while back. They might be in the free VST plugin thread? They looked quite phat. I haven't had a chance to check 'em out yet.Quote:

So far using some maths algorhythms I took these...

:shock:
Gotta love this software
quality sounds fern :)
would like to see a golden ratio spiral mapped out in the detonator!
Its on the 'to do list' if I can figure out howQuote:

cheers for the link tho man. i'll get in it
Have a look in your root directory and you should find all the documentation and the tutorials in there. If not I have them here...
http://www.thedivide.co.uk/MSP/MSP%20DOCUMENTAION.rar + some other stuff I found on the uni computers
As much as I would like to share this im not going to untill its complete. Should be able to run it as astand alone .exe or maybe run it in cubase (not sure). Heres the progress so far hehe
Got it trigger external kit, couple of examples here

just jamming with it at the moment, thought I would share it. Its actually behaving a bit strange and excuse the timing of the chord switching as im doing it by mouse click oooops. Definitely going to use it for some weirdness
Very pleased with this now, makes some nice melodies, only thing is its appearance, anyone up for making me a skin?

If your curious how it works I will tell you it is it has no step sequencer and all the midi in does is transposes the root key value of load of algebraic equations. To change the patterns you edit it the maths parameters on the fly controlled over the QUERTY, I will share it when I have turned it into a vsti
looks hot mate. heres what i need to do...
i need a sine oscillator (i assume thats [cycle~] on msp) and noise as the sound sources.
they need to be routed through very fast attack-decay envelopes (2 line~s ??) and the noise through a lo pass filter
i need to control the osc frequency with a very fast envelope aswell
i want the frequnecy to drop from 150 to 30hz very quickly, and have short amplitude envelopes
so....how do i get started in msp with that?
I'm a reaktor user, but I've been tempted to have a look into MSP. Are they very similar? I'd like the ability to be able to script stuff and write my own modules/ design customised GUIs in a C++ API, but I guess I may be a little optimistic there.
I think you can write your own modules for Reaktor 5 now, but Max definitely lets you write your own libraries and comes with full documentation and stuff for it.
Wow i didnt know thatQuote:

Another feature on my wish list would be a module to control a VST through Reaktor itself. Think of the possibilities!
my lecturer pretty much told me i have to learn MAX MSP to get a good mark in my Thesus, so ill have to dive into it soon enough. is it easy to get going???
Its not too bad if you follow the tutorials, the manuals a beast but there is help files for every module
Certainly allot better than the soldering iron and breadboard alternative. Kraftwerk style!
:lol:
yeah - it's a lot easier to knock something up in Reaktor and till you bang up against one of it's limitations it's wicked.Quote:

Ok I have managed to make it run as standalone...

This ones for the uber geeks

List of Keyboard Controls
1 Loop Disable 9 + Division @ Reverse Math
2 Loop 1 Note 0 - Division R Record to Detonate
3 Loop 2 Notes - Double Speed P Play Recorded Sequence
4 Loop 4 Notes = Half Speed S Stop Recorded Sequence
5 Loop 8 Notes [ Loop Coll Esc
6 Loop 16 Notes ] Loop Off
7 Loop 32 Notes Ent Collect Loop into Rand
P.S I cant be bothered explaining it right now
Just press all the buttons
Make sure you switch that edit switch upwards to allow the midi to go to the devices
Curious to know if it even works
Cheers

It works using the m$ output device.. but as soon as I try and use my midi interface, and hit play it only plays one note instead of looping like it does on the m$ device
you nutter
does it? sheeeeet
I will have to check that out, so basically it doesnt work with any other output other than the Microsoft built in GM thing? Do you have max installed as I have just been today that it won’t work as standalone afterall
Only tested it on max machines so far
hmm nope I don't have max installed.
Sweet :D
I had an argument with a member of staff at the uni today as he said it was impossible to make max patches open without it installed
Hey i will look into that bug, thanks for testing it
When this is finished I should get it working in cubase (proving you have pluggo installed) and I will keep adding stuff to it
haha that's the point of the standalone Max libraries/executibles.... sounds like your guy is a bit off his rocker hehe
