Nice sounds and textures. Great that you could achieve such interesting sonic results with a simple patch (which would be the point of live patching in Max).

Thanks. And yeah, indeed. Live patching requires pretty simple stuff. As I develop it I'll probably create a bunch of more complex "tool" type abstractions that I can just drop in.

A Max question about your patch : Is the [tapin~] and [tapout~ 0] at the top of your patcher used solely as a way to generate feedback?

It's not quite feedback, as it doesn't loop back in on itself, but the effect is similar.

Excellent stuff.  Simple enough patch with great tones and variation.  Makes me want to make more of an effort to get some max/msp building skills.

I'm making that effort now. I can (somewhat) see the benefit over PD for some things, but in so many ways it feels so damn alien still. It is immensely powerful though, particularly with gen~.

Thanks?

Thanks?

I think the alien feel is how I feel.  I always start and then just think how far away I'm off from creating anything amazing.  So I turn on the modular  hehe...   Knowing PD would be hugely helpful I'm guessing.  Max is similar with the modular though as far as spending time with it.  I've put many many hours into learning.  A more inspiring interface with some instant gratification perhaps...   Oh... sound!  hehe. 
One day...

Knowing PD actually seems more like a hindrance. I mean, understanding the logic of visual, dafa-flow programming is useful, but because I know how to do a bunch of stuff in PD that just does not translate, at all, into Max, it's really damn frustrating.

I've always thought that synth-people (particularly analogue/modular) would like that type of programming though.

By the by, I haven't commented on your track yet, but I listened to it on Monday and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Correct in some ways.  It's perhaps that tactile element which some may not find appealing?  I do find it appealing as I used to get into Reaktor programming and Nord Modular programming.  More of a time issue.  Especially having to do these bloody WB tracks 

And thanks
