Per, Learning MaxMSP is a wonderful thing, and I myself have gotten both addicted and taxed when doing it by myself. One can do it with the accompanying tutorials, and my humble estimation is that it wouldn't take someone like you very long to find the salient things you need. That said, if there is one program we have which allows all us 'non-programmers' to do almost anything routing wise that we need to do. That's the program. What stefan offered to do is write a small patch which would execute what you need and send it to you in MaxRuntime format which means it would run in a free version of the kernel of MaxMSP, which would actually be included in the patch he would write, if I'm not mistaken. Cycling 74 includes the ability to essentially compile a program which will run anywhere. It can't be edited from a programming perspective, but can include all the pull down menus necessary to change parameters of course. I have people write stuff in maxMSP all the time to solve issues I can't solve with live or any other program. Of course, people write big patches for compositions as well. One particular situation to share: a guy wrote me a piece in live which had me using 3 entire banks of the 1010 to get through it, with each pedal extensively programmed. So, we eventually made a max patch which handled all of the internal changes and I used the 1010 to increment through step-changes and even the expression pedals then changed their meaning, and I continued to use my usual control change based settings on the pedal itself, without altering a thing. I hope this is a contribution. MaxMSP can run quietly in the background and do so many things to help. On 1/8/06 9:03 AM, "Per Boysen" <per@boysen.se> wrote: >> Per Boysen wrote: >>> Thanks!
