heck - want this object when you have things working. are you planning on keeping the audio in?

yes, of course, audio in is there. my first goal is to get as close as possible to the original, possibly adding some mods later.

Also very excited about this. Happy to help test if you need that.

@TheTechnobear you have compiled and converted this module for orac in pure data form and I believe, encountered some minor unexpected quirk in terms of pitch reproduction. I don’t know how directly relative your experience was, I think it just required a [+ (number unknown to Wannop)] object to pitch shift but perhaps your experience is relevant here?

#9

yeah, in the PD external I did some scaling, and that was a tiny bit off which was correct in the PD patch (really I should put it back in the external)

@geplanteobsoleszenz my PD external, is obviously open source/available, so perhaps take a look at that…
ive also got other MI externals there too, which you might want in max, e.g. elements/braids - the PD and Max external api are pretty similar iirc

of course, im just wrapping the main credit here of course goes to Olivier, who did the real work, and was/is generous enough to make it open source.

hey, @TheTechnobear this looks like a great resource, thanks! will have a look.
i’ve got plaits running already and most of elements. still some quirks left to solve, though.
will post the results, as soon as there is something stable to share.

hi again, so i’m looking for people now, who are willing to test an alpha version of the rings clone for maxmsp. Especially useful would be testing against the actual hardware unit, as I don’t have access to one.
and: anyone want’s to test a plaits clone in maxmsp?

@geplanteobsoleszenz - I didn’t catch this the first time round, but happy to test on OSX if you still need help. I’ve not got a hardware unit though.

Otherwise looking forward to any release!

I don’t have a Rings but I do have Max, a Plaits, and an ES-8, so I can compare/contrast them with the same signals.

In the meantime I’ve uploaded the macos objects and rudimentary help files here:
vb.mi.plts~.zip
vb.mi.rngs~.zip

(please note these are temporary links)
feel free to check them out and report back.

These are amazing - thanks so much for your hard work! Going to spend some time with them for sure. They sound great on first listen.

I’ve not used these in hardware, but fully functioning for me on OSX 10.11.6, Max 7.3.5. Evetything makes sense. Nice to see audio rate modulation - opens it up to some nice possibilities.

So in terms of MI in Max, there are now these and the M4L Braids and Clouds ports for Max4L. Has anyone seen an Elements port out of curiosity?

#18

Thanks for your feedback, mark!
fwiw, I’ve got ‘elements’ running in max. just need some time to polish it a little.
also been playing with ‘warps’ lately which tends to get rather noisy quickly, but certainly has some very nice sounds.

Oh wow, that’s great!

I’ve got a project that currently runs between Ableton and Max to use Ableton Collision and the Max HOA Library ambisonics. It’s all a bit unstable - I think because of Soundflower, so I’ve been wanting to put it all into Max for a while now, but have not found the physical modeling solution - hopefully Elements if you release it.

Happy to test for you at any point, but I’d be grateful if you’d tag me - as in @geplanteobsoleszenz as I missed your earlier post. Or can test and reply over PM if you don’t want to post it up yet.

Just curious - with rings, I’m now changing the structure control in sympathetic string mode. The manual says:

With the sympathetic string resonator, this parameter controls the set of frequency ratios between all strings (with virtual notches at octaves or fifths).

How do control voltage values scale to the 0.-1. range of the plugin? Are the octave points 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 etc…

I might be misunderstanding this as I’ve never used the real thing before!

Edit: as Lines won’t let me make a new post:

I’ve run into some strange behaviour trying to copy vb.mi.rngs~ into another patch for the first time.

Have a look at:

Seems like they are both sharing a buffer or similar?

I should point out that I’m on Max 7.3.5, so not latest.

#21

@_mark thanks for the report - that looks scary! but I can’t reproduce it here. might have gone away with the changes that I did in the meantime. I’ve just replaced the external in the link above with the latest version, so you might try downloading it again. thanks.

Thanks, will test and report back.

Scary it was! Took some working out…

#23

That version just worked right away.

Getting some great sounds from it! Some excerpts:

Going to sequence these into a track at some point : )
