I'm going to start to writing a program in LISP (Common Lisp I guess, it's the same), that would communicate with Max.

I'm a newbie in the Lisp world and I would like to know how can a Lisp program builds a Midi or OpenSoundControl message, or some other solution to communicate with Max.

I'm on Windows XP right now, so I can't use Brad Garton's MaxLisp (

On this list you'll find a zillion people who happily help with Max, The 

only one I know who knows lisp here would be Brad who made the lisp 

external (there might be more). I guess there are lists which focus on 

Lisp. Maybe thats a better place to find an answer... OSC is documented

Well, there is at least one more on this list, who knows and uses LISP ;-)

there are a couple of options, how to communicate between Max and Lisp.

First of all, I would consider to use some extension of the LISP environment, which already provides reasonable musical functionality, like Open Music (www.ircam.fr), PWGL (

What I did a lot myself, was using Open Music to generate and payback MIDI Data and feed them into Max via the IAC bus. Of course there are other options, but this seems to be the most simple one...

let me know if you have further questions,

To answer to the original question:
there are a couple of options, how to communicate between Max and Lisp.
First of all, I would consider to use some extension of the LISP environment, which already provides reasonable musical functionality, like Open Music (www.ircam.fr), PWGL (http://www2.siba.fi/PWGL/) or Common Lisp Music/Common Music (http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/).

Hope that helps,
let me know if you have further questions,
best,
Johannes
