This is cool!  Can you explain what's happening with regards to the ND2 and Max?  I'm assuming Max is sequencing in some form and also processing and/or generating other tones/sequences internally?

I'd love to get Max interacting with hardware.

Thanks mate, you should! It’s loads of fun.

Max is generating MIDI here using some very quickly thrown together sequencers I made. I’m sending CC modulation to each channel also.

All sound is purely ND2, no extra processing. I’m using all six channels.

Next thing I’m trying to get done for this week is a kind version of the Kammaerl Massive MIDI modulator using Max instead to just blast all channels with MIDI modulation

Wow, that's awesome it's all ND2 as far as sound goes!  I haven't played with CC on the ND2 at all, only CV trigs (or ipad for tweaking a kit away from the modular).  Must try that as that;s one reason I haven't used the ND2 for a while was because the sounds were hard to tweak in real time.  Also a good excuse to dive back into Max!

Building a version of Kammaerl should be fun.  You've already got the midi cc from Max sussed so it shouldn't be a far stretch from there.  Look forward to hearing that.  I'm grabbing my ND2 now so it's in sight, tempting me to fuck with it. smile

Such nice sounds. Gritty and brutal and... gritty.
