A soundscape that responds to color.
By Helen Trevillion
The Max patch is not available. From the video it appears that many channels of sound are playing concurrently. Color values are assigned to faders for each channel.

Kinect and Max/MSP
By Zachary Seldess
Uses jit.freenect and jit.cv By Jean-Marc Pelletier
Various ways Kinect 1 still runs in Mac OS with Max/MSP, Processing, and OSC.
Note: this is about the ‘old’ Kinects – not the latest versions (Kinect 2). Although, Dale Phurrough’s Max dp.kinect2 external works with Kinect 2 in Windows 8+.
(self portrait with Synapse)
Synapse converts skeletal data to OSC. It still runs with Max/MSP even though it is not supported. http://synapsekinect.tumblr.com
Here’s how to run with Max: http://synapsekinect.tumblr.com/post/6307752257/maxmsp-jitter
Don’t be surprised if Max crashes occasionally.

Max/MSP examples of skeletal tracking

Processing uses OpenNI library. Use the Processing package manager to install or update the OpenNI library.
There are several built-in examples (under Contributed Libraries). Many of them work, including the “hands” example. Wave your hand a lot to get it to start tracking.
Dale Phurrough’s free Max external jit.openni is no longer supported. I was not yet able to find a Mac version that runs. The dp.kinect external runs only in Windows.
dp.kinect is for Kinect 1 and up to Windows 7. dp.kinect2 requires Windows 8+. More testing on the way. Note that dp.kinect is a commercial product.

I was able to run the Processing sketch and receive OSC data on port 8000 in Max – but the UI is somewhat confusing and there is no camera input to monitor skeleton tracking. This probably would not be difficult to add to the sketch by looking at the SimpleOpenNI examples.

Update 4/4/2015 : I was not able to get the source code to run. Its no longer supported by the author. There have been various attempts to update: https://github.com/msp/CANKinectPhysics
Multiple video game system.
Mac OS emulation of various game consoles. Automatically runs a Syphon server, allowing connection to video apps like Max/MSP. Install games by dragging ROM files into the openEMU app.

Any SDR that will receive 455 KHz (or whatever the IF is) plus a R-Pi would work. The Pi would need to boot automatically into an SDR app with the frequency set to the IF.

Audio simulation of an RF circuit.
The simulation serves no purpose, but its fun. There are 4 versions. I think the third one sounds best (rf-mixer-sim3.maxpat). Its interesting to hear how much spectral distortion happens from multiplying sawtooth waves.

Note: please set the signal vector size to 1 (or as low as possible) and enable overdrive and audio interrupt
