IANNIX is a graphical free software sequencer, based on the work of Iannis Xenakis, that is programmable with javascript, speaks OSC, and is available for multiple platforms. Max users probably already know it; if not the current software than the original stuff from Xenakis. The new release this month looks pretty spiffy and has been getting some attention in the media art blog-o-sphere. It is versatile, conducive to mixed modality interaction, very discursive (in a good way), and historically very interesting.

Interactive installation during :://:: Musique ;//Algorithmique,:://Mutilphoniques,:://electrofroid @La Gare Experimentale (Paris, http://garexp.org/v2/) (more info on this event: https://www.facebook.com/events/184971538297548/). 
 
Interactive installation is made using IanniX (http://www.iannix.org) + KorgNano. KorgNano drives the morphings of curves and IanniX's cursors send their position through OpenSoundControl (OSC) to MaxMSP. 
 
Sound is made using some noise generators (Gendys, dusts, crackles, bank of sinusoidal oscillators) ; cursors position (x and y coordinates) are mapped on two parameters of each generator (x is sound projection — like panning — and y is the main parameter of the generetor).

If you like IanniX be sure to check out GeoSonix, based on fork of IanniX started about nine months ago. I've added many features enabling the creation of a wider range of styles of music and, while retaining OSC support it has greatly improved MIDI support, a simpler syntax for the scripting language, and in an upcoming release a unique ability to synthesize triggers attached to curve using rhythm patterns. I've also done a lot of work on usability including an always available-message script editor with syntax highlighting. Check out my Vimeo site for examples, and www.geosonix.com for the latest release.
