Max/msp? anybody else mystified and fascinated?

darklow

up to now the most complicated i've ventured is reaktor 5, and thats plenty complicated, but im planning to do my masters in composition in UCC and max/msp is used a lot, and students are expected to have a basic working knowledge of it.

anybody else here use it? also id love a few more tutorials on reaktor and how to build some wacky stuff!

max/msp is great. you can buy it for 200 if your a student. theres a heap of tutorials with it, if you get stuck into them you'd have a basic knowledge going within a couple of weeks

I'm using Pure Data, it's a similar program, it's free and highly addictive.
I've just got into building a 16 step drum machine, I've got a kick and snare synth and am next going to try stick in a sample player in next.

Hoping to figure out a few ways to use it as an external controller with a touch screen eventually...

You tube is good so is the documentation with pure data when you eventually find it!

Did a masters in Maynooth in music tech and used max/msp. its a really interesting program. was funny then cause i finished my project a while ago, a few months later the sos mag covered what i was doing, well not mine but similar! used the wiimote as an interface and was pretty cool what ye could do. friend of mine hooked up a webcam that picked up different shapes on a glass pane, then others used arduino boards and guitar hero guitars, was a great program, look into it.

Here's a talk by this guy Johnny Lee about what he's done by hacking a Wii remote. Amazing!

Anybody know where to get sensors for ardunio boards?
