My screen is my re-patcher

Keep an eye at the text box in the patcher when the modules are moved around. That’s the explanation, and think about changing the order of stomp boxes on the floor.

This is a short demo of using the screen as a re-patcher. I use my computer for most effects processing in my guitar system, and this re-patcher allows me to change the effects order at any time without touching a cable. Changing the effects order should be easy to do for anyone because it creates a myriad of sonic possibilities. This is my approach to the challenge of re-patching on the fly, and I believe it will prove itself useful. Audio coming soon. I want to showcase all modules at the same time, and I am adding the possibility of serial, split to: parallell, merge to: serial processing as well. I don’t think I’ll need parallell processing but it should be possible to do it, shouldn’t it?

cheers

Guitar effects

Two new modules for my guitar setup has arrived at their beta stage: The Delavols and the Compavols. When those modules that are currently in the owen are all baked up and smells good, I’ll post some audio examples for anyone interested. Nice thing about using your computer as an effects processor is the lack of unwanted noise. If you still crawl around going mental on everything that is not as analog as the Wizard from Oz, then skip further down the internet and get exhausted for nothing. This is not your cup of tea.

New looks in max, new looks in my fauna

I am working on some modules for my guitar system. First of is a vibrato/tremolo with feedback through delay. And today I fiddled around with the presentation mode in a more or less finished patch to check out the new graphic objects. I frankly think that those new interface objects looks good. Well… I like it simple and here is the Vibravols module:

I’ve waited. Now I hover.

I guess I could write a love song about Max/MSP/Jitter. This fabulous software turned me into a music technologist, and I have used it for just about all my techno needs: GSM-communication, Ethernet, upload, download, my live guitar system, real-time audio and video, sensors, mapping und so weiter. Point is: I’ve got Max5, and I hover. Have not been so excited about software since I got Samplitude and discovered audio editing simplicity.

The new presentation mode is just a dream come through. And the inspector, and the new looks….. I think I like rounded corners.
