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?

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 : )

Thank you so much for doing this, it’s really nice !
I couldn’t manage to play Rings polyphonically, any hint ?

Thanks, you’re welcome!

What do you mean exactly?
Does the polyphony method not work for you, or do you mean, you can’t use two copies of the object at the same time?

#27

I mean the polyphony settings. But I guess I need to make my own patching to hit the Strum input for each new note. I’ll come back after a few tests !

#28

In the meantime there are a few more objects in the collection. And - very new - some UGens for SuperCollider :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
The temporary links from above are gone, please see this short blog post for the current state of developement and download options:

Please note, this is still WIP - so be prepared for changes…
