The Max [js] object will introduce a delay of up to several milliseconds – even when there is little or no processing.
Two methods of reversible audio encryption in Max
This project demonstrates 2 reversible methods of encrypting audio
- reciprocal (1/x)
- frequency shifting
The reciprocal method is interesting because the reciprocal of a reciprocal is the original value. In other words you can reverse the process by doing it twice.
Frequency shifting allows you to ‘hide’ audio in the ultrasound range.

Programming Electronic Music in Pd
By Johannes Kreidler.
An amazing resource for Pd programming, with downloadable examples.
http://www.pd-tutorial.com/english/index.html
Abstract
Pd was initiated by American software engineer Miller Puckette, who previous co-developed the well known and similarly structured software Max/Msp. Pd is not commercial software; i.e., it was not developed by a corporation and is not for sale. Instead, it is “open source”: its source code is not the (patented) property of a corporation, but is rather freely available to all. One drawback to this is that a detailed operating manual for users who lack programming experience has not existed until now. In contrast to a corporation— which has a monetary interest in ensuring that first-time users can easily operate new software—the open source movement lacks such a driving force to make itself accessible. This book is an attempt to fill that gap.
This tutorial is designed for self-study, principally for composers. It begins with explanations of basic programming and acoustic principles then gradually builds up to the most advanced electronic music processing techniques. The book’s teaching approach is focused primarily on hearing, which we consider a faster and more enjoyable way to absorb new concepts than through abstract formulas.
The patches described are available for download.

Facebook key loggers
This topic came up at Christmas dinner with the relatives…
If Facebook is really key-logging rather than just collecting posted data, then would it be possible to overwhelm the key-loggers by building algorithmic typing devices (ie., keyboard simulators) which ran in the background – and then offer them as free Facebook add-ons?
That is if anyone still uses Facebook…
