A great idea! I've been holding off from buying MAX for years now, but maybe I won't stand without it much longer... ;-) One issue always was the time needed to cook up a good live looping patch, but with a community interest it may be a quicker process. All the MAX users I've known in the past seemed more interested in Max than in music ;-) but maybe that's just my own false perception based on minimal Max experience? Max is also rather expensive; do you think a good price can be achieved if enough people join up for a "group buy"? > I think one possible answer to this cycle lies in the flexibility > of Max/MSP. Seconded! I have experienced the flexibility of scripting with Mobius and AFAIK Max should be able to do similar things. Things that looks interesting with Max, besides its long tradition of being the main controlling interface for multi media, is the new ReWire compatibility. I also own and love the Pluggo suite, which is know for being developed in Max. I couldn't find any statement at Cycling74's web page on their plans for supporting Universal Binary code (Intel Macs). Anyone know about that? Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international) http://tinyurl.com/fauvm (podcast)
