Max/MSP Live Coding

A realtime performance of creating a Max-patch, starting from zero.

The Rules:

- You have 6 minutes to build a Max-patch and do a performance with it.
- Start with an empty patch.
- Only use the standard objects that are part of Max/MSP/Jitter.
- Don't use externals, pre-build external datafiles, help files, or anything of that kind.

This short performance was created for a Max Live Coding contest. The participant receiving the loudest applause from the audience would win. This video was created after the actual performance in front of the audience.

Great job =)

Just one silly question. How do you one outlet in two or more inlets? Without having to go back to the outlet, and forth to the second inlet?

In 03:50 you did it.

@Vitisaurio use SHIFT while making the connection.

Why do you need the abs???

[edopaulus]

@andbluesky: The slide~ object functions like an envelope follower. It -kind of- averages out all recently received audio samples. If slide~ would receive an ordinary audio signal (which fluctuates around zero, both positive and negative) it would mostly average out around zero and it wouldn't create much of an envelope.

abs~ first 'flips' all negative audio samples to positive so that slide~ can create a positive average, and a well defined envelope.

This is pretty much what I hear when aliens try to communicate with me while I'm on mushrooms.
