just to circle back to my own question, I was able to make Max 8 my editor for M4L devices within Live relatively painlessly (Cycling '74’s FAQ page tells you how), which is more than enough for me at the moment!

Care to share some thoughts on how “mc” might change buffer/groove/sampler flow?

#24

I think the patches from @sonoptik on instagram show some cool ideas on that. Like using the same sample on multiple channels and doing micro time/chop adjustments to each channel.

#25

how about poly~ then?

#26

Pasting my reply from a similar inquiry on Facebook:

I suspect poly~ will still solve some problems that MC can not, simply because you have full control over the abstraction being duplicated. But, it’s more work to set up, and MC easily accomplishes much of what we build poly~ abstractions for in the first place.

I would assume it handles those tasks more efficiently, as well, since MC objects are fully compiled, where your poly~ work is still interpreted.

Wow these mc.objects are ace

#28

Really simple mc implementation that shows a lot of it’s possibilities.

Regular poly~ automatically mixes all voices onto the output. mc.poly~ can output each voice onto a separate channel on an mc cable, allowing the ability to mix them yourself (or process them independently).

Here are some mc.poly~ examples from the Extras folder:

For the Jitter fans, here’s a cool list of things to try, along with example patches: https://cycling74.com/forums/the-max-8-jitter-bakers-dozen-1

For those of you that currently integrate Max (or even Pure Data) with your modular Eurorack gear, what does your interface look like? I know the Expert Sleepers es-8 ws mentioned above but i’m intrigued about the possible expanders/modules that could perhaps extend this hybrid?

#32

How many ins/outs are you going for? How many gates?

The ES-8 is the best foundation. I travel with it a bunch for classes and presentations and I’ve never had an issue with it. If you plan on generating a ton of gates and triggers from Max, then the ES-5 is a very useful addition. There’s actually a Max external for the ES-5 available from Expert Sleepers: http://www.expert-sleepers.co.uk/es5.html

same situation… the cost is $149, but I live in Italy and it goes up to 160 euro that is about $189. no way. In addiction I have an Organelle and so I moved to Pure Data

#34

I’ve had student versions, and subscription versions of max in the past, and have max for live with live 9, but if this were a feature, I’d buy it outright in a heartbeat.

A max runtime for Bela or RPi would be a dream

Oh this would be so cool!!! Is there a Windows IOT type box that could approximate this in the meantime?

#36

Ohh yeah that’s an interesting thought. I was under the assumption that the biggest blocker there would be processor architectures (“Max For Arm” instead of x86), but is there a Windows IOT device that runs “normal” Windows apps?

#37

A while ago have backed the Udoo Bolt and I am hoping to use it with Max for Windows and a waveshare HDMI 7" capacitive touch display when it arrives. I really really hope it works as I imagine :slight_smile:

Cool. For my use cases, the Udoo is rather large, to the point where I ask questions like “would this be better or easier to use than a Mac Mini + iPad?” Obviously cost is another factor there, and a Mac Mini + iPad is rather expensive… But, that also begs the question of Max Runtime on an iPad…

The really compelling thing to me would be a Max runtime on the Raspberry Pi Zero, or Bela Mini, where suddenly you could hide Max patches in larger contexts. As soon as the board gets above the size of a Bela (normal size), my interest wanes.

#39

You’ve probably considered this, but why not PD if you want small Linux systems?

#40

Very interested to how this goes. Please let us know!
