Max/MSP
- crackle~: Standalone application, a funky granular sample player. Can also be used for timestretch/pitchshift. Uses just one groove~ object to play fragments of a sample…
- l.preset: l.preset is a package of two abstractions (l.r & l.preset). Every l.r can be connected to number/floatboxes/slides/etc. and l.preset stores their value in a coll. l.r also includes the option to morph between to saved presets (kind of useless since 4.5).
- l.panner: Abstraction that creates a x/y speaker matrix to control your multispeaker setup's amplitudes. It just scales the radius to a value of 0-1.
- searcharchives: Search maxobjects.com, the synthesisters mail archive or google from the extras menu (that is if you put this file in your patches/extras folder). I guess there are several guys out there who build something like this but still think it is quite usefull… (I admit I’m lazy).
JavaScript
- reminder.js: Record a stream of int/float/lists or even symbols to output them later in a specified amount of time.
- chances.js: Chance table, input a list with percentages . When the js instance is banged it will output a random index number of that list according to the given percentages. (10 80 5 5 will have 80% chance to output 1)
- scrollpane.js: Something like umenu but always collapsed, use this to have a list of items constantly available for clicking (includes scrollbar).
- 3dengine.js – Simple 3d engine (radius and phase calculation per point), rotate and zoom your 3d model. (models are in fact prespecified arrays, model = [[{x},{y},{z},{start},{comment}],[-1,0.5,0,false]]; )
- score.js: Kind of like the new note slider object. Input a list of notes (1/4 notes) and they will be displayed on a note-grid. You can also select a group of notes and output the first and the last one out of the second output (still in development…).
- MaxMSPserver: This package contains a MaxMSPserver abstraction and a MaxMSPserver Flash Component. The FlashComponent makes it very easy to connect Macromedia's Flash to Max/MSP, just drag and drop the component in you *.fla and type in the IP and port numbers... The MaxMSPserver abstraction is an addition to Olaf Matthes's flashserver external (from http://www.nullmedium.de/dev/flashserver/) and adds some functionality specific to the FlashComponent
- flashserver: This file includes the flashserver.as, which can be included at the first frame of an script layer in Flash and contains all the functions you probably need to make a connection between Macromedia's Flash and Olaf Matthes's flashserver external.
Csound
- CsoundSco: Standalone score editor to Csound using the expr object to create formulas and so on... (thanks to J. Jester for the numlets-external and TapTools for the tap.typecheck-external)
AppleScript
Mail - This AppleScript will search a selected email for an included Max text file (syntax : max v2; # N vpatcher ...). The script de-tags the complete email and will create a Max patch on the desktop and automatically open it. Put this file in 'Mac HD:Library:Scripts:Mail Scripts' and you can run it directly from within Apple's Mail application. You also can choose to save the script as an application.
Eudora - This script does the same as the Mail script but for Eudora.
info
All the abstractions are made with Max/MSP 4.3 on OSX and haven't been tested on os9 and Windows. All JavaScripts are for use with Max/MSP 4.5.
