I’ve been working with various versions of this for a while now, and it saves me a lot of time so I thought I would share. This is a bpatcher which aggregates a lot of common controls that get used with jit.gl.render and jit.window, and then a connected sub patcher with the actual objects in.

The purpose in doing it this way is to provide a small compact interface for the render controls (as you should never usually need to edit these), but allow access to the jit.gl.render and jit.window objects by placing them outside.

Features include context name, window floating and visibility, render on/off, render speed (fps), render fps gauge, erase_color selector, fsaa on/off, ortho on/off, lens angle adjust, window width and height adjustment (with automatic aspect ratio correction), aspect ratio selection, window positioning, window homing (returns to 0, 0) and finally, full preset saving.

For best results, save as a clipping in the Max6/patches/clippings directory and past it in when you quickly need a render context. If you save a preset then the bpatcher will automatically be dirtied, so you can’t accidentally close your patcher and lose it. Comments welcome!

This is a Max 6 patch, but you could just edit it to get rid of ‘routepass’ to use it with Max 5.

CRONE is a comb-filter-based polyphonic drone synthesizer.  It uses pulse waves and noise to excite comb filters; stereo lowpass filters shape and pan the sound.

CRONE is great for pad sounds and can even do an acceptable clav, but it really excels at creating intricate rhythmic textures via pulse waves.  It’s great for making textures like “a cloud of mandolins” or “a roomful of tambours”.

There’s lots of interesting features, such as local vs. global LFOs and key-following, in there for people who are looking to learn more about building synths, and the code is pretty clean.

Full documentation is on the website.

How was MAX used?

It’s written entirely in Max 5 Max for Live.

Using keystrokes or mouse position, generate a a tone as well as change the background color.
This is the first draft, as I hope to add sound shaping, more interesting video, as well  as incorporate  the Phantom haptic device made by Sensable in Massachusetts as an input controller.

LiveLooper is simple double mono looper with reverb and record options, made for improvising with acoustic instruments.

You can set lengths in seconds for both loopers, control feedback (how much sound goes from one loop to another), gain and panorama of sound.

Gigaverb external (by Juhana Sadeharju Olaf Matthes) lets you control reverb time, as well as damping and bandwidth parameters.

How was MAX used?

Entirely build in Max/MSP 6.
