Echonest anaylsis in Max.

By Michael Dewberrry

I downloaded the fork version from ‘dewb’ as it has been converted to run in Max6. It looks  like the object retrieves all of the analysis data. It would actually be instructive to read the source code to see how they implemented libcurl and JSON for the http: requests.

ipadOscMidi app with Max patch

Have set up a Github repository for the ipadOscMidi simulator app: https://github.com/tkzic/ipadoscmidi

There is also a companion Max patch for testing

Here is the README file for the project:

ipadMidiOsc
-----------
March 4, 2013
version 1.0

This program is a simulator to test Midi and Osc communication in iOS. There is a companion Max/MSP patch in the archive (oscmiditest3.maxpat). The Max patch lets you control the user interface on the iPad. And it well display incoming messages from the iPad.

I have only tested the default iOS midi networking devices via Mac OS, and an iRig Midi interface. 

This is the only documentation right now - but there are big plans, yeah, for a programming guide, and a free app store app, along the lines of audioGraph.

I wanted to get this initial version out before the spacecraft lands in the backyard.

Thank you.

Rainmaker Launchpad sequencer in Max for Live

A sequencer that works like Tetris.

by Avery Rossow

Instructions:

  • press the User2 button to activate.
  • You’ll need a midi drum kit in the track
  • transport needs to be on
  • if the bottom button is red, then note is triggered once – if gets green then it loops
  • when you press one of the upper 7 buttons, the note starts falling, when it hits the bottom row, it plays

Cool matrixing in the sub-patches…
