I'm not a current Max user, but when I was working for Opcode I spent some time exploring it, and even wandering thru the source code a bit.. :) in anycase, it's a 'visual programming environment', and is capable of many things... what it is used for is entirely up to the programmer, so one could assume that the people who programmed the Max patches for the pieces you have heard did not concern themselves with the rhythmic/time signature based issues... One of the things that is great about these type of environments is that it's so easy to start experimenting... which, I believe, lends itself to more 'sound/data mangling', much like tweaking parameters on fx, than 'time based/syncronized' work... as well, I believe time-based stuff can require more of a 'programming' mindset, where fx based work is more about just plugging objects together... It's been said here before, but writing time-critical software is not a simple task... tools like Max make the easy parts far easier, but the hard parts are still hard... peace -cpr Quoting a k butler <akbutler@tiscali.co.uk>: > > > > >I think one possible answer to this cycle lies in the flexibility of > Max/MSP. > > hi Jeff > a Max/MSP question > > how good is it for rhythmically based music? > > I've heard a number of max/MSP performances, and have not yet heard > any rhythmic co-ordination > going on, at least not in the time signature sense. > Please don't take this as a criticism of the music, it isn't that at all, > I'm interested in the capabilities of MAX > > > andy butler > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
