Max For Live randomizers

[update 9/13/2013]

The c74 “Max For Live Essentials” pack contains a “device randomizer”. Located in Max Audio Effect | Control Devices.

It works in Auto or Trigger mode. And it automatically maps the entire device.

Other randomizers…

Max for Live Pluggo abstractions

By Cycling74

Max/MSP folder: applications/max6.1/patches/m4l-patches/Pluggo for Live Resources/patches

Here you will find things like pluggo.randomPreset that gets called with sends/receives in the Pluggo patches. A challenge will be how to randomize ‘any’ params in any patch?  Without knowing the ranges?

Assignment

Build a control panel in Max. It should look amazing. It should be the coolest control panel you can imagine. Use any objects, colors, shapes that you can find. But… it shouldn’t actually control anything.

Due: Have a first draft on your computer for next week. Final version due before class on 9/23. Email me the Max patch (maxpat) file or a link.
