MaxMSP Processing my Modular

Just documenting a test of getting the audio from my modular into MaxMSP for further processing. The video is an example Jitter patch from Cycling 74's website that reacts to audio, and the max patch is one of the examples modified with my simple A-192 input patch. There's big problems with sync (Max is too slow) and some noise, still have to find the right audio hardware buffer settings and compensate for latency. Bummer. Semi successful, at least the computer and the modular are talking to each other fairly well, except for the lag in audio processing. Could be that I had a Jitter patch and an MSP patch running at the same time on my notebook.

The patch basically takes two LFO inputs from the CV to MIDI converter, does some simple math and spits out a note which the pitch shifting uses to give the modular a new note. Having the LFOs control effects like reverb, delay, mix levels, etc wouldn't be too difficult. I gotta get back into MaxMSP and write some cool stuff for my modular to control. Modular controlled video and realtime sampled granular synthesis are high on the list. :D

Also in the video I take a look at what a few different LF generators do in a signal through Max.

can you give me the patch so that I can experiment with it on the doepfer A-100 that I have here in college?

It's basically midiparse help file and the Transpose extra that come with Max. You may need to modify it to work for you. The video is from one of the Jitter recipes on cycling's webpage.

thats a lot of modular u have there
