Hi all, i made this little cellular sequencer (inspired by reaktor new-school)..requires jitter since it uses jit.conway..let me know if it inspire you in any way

I would love to have a look at this. I am new to Max so please forgive me my ignorance but how do I load this in?

If you are on XP, you need to add the extension .pat

Ctrl-click on the file and select 'open with'> 'other' - make sure that 'all

Applications' is enabled at the top of the dialogue box, and select Max 5,

I have a Lemur, so this could be a great interface for this.

When I save it saves with a MaxPat extension, how where these files saved like this?

Max5 saves it with the .maxpat extension, Max4 saves it with

Max5 saves it with the .maxpat extension, Max4 saves it with
the .pat extension.

Thanks for the reply but this is already enabled.

After downloading and automatic unzipping in Leopard I have:

I had the same problem. Adding .mxb to the end of each file

I had the same problem.  Adding .mxb to the end of each file  
identifies them as Max 4 binary format.

This is a very nice patch, Mic. I like how you kept the starting 

pattern static on the left for reference.

Hooking it up as a trigger for percussive samples is fun!

yes it is intended to trigger percussive patterns and can be really fun!

ps. i made this with in 4.5.7 i did not try in 5

hey guys thanks a lot! :-)

well the concept behind it is to use a cellular automata algorithm to create an evolving pattern that can produce some interesting and unpredictable rythmic patterns (if you see the bang that flashes, you can use them to play percussive sounds, you can use them to bang a table filled with midi values etc..)

the trick behind it is in map-decoding the cellular animated pattern

A very nice patch Michele, could be very useful.

For people who don't know too much about "The Game Of Life" the following link is pretty good 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automaton

I will have a go at getting it to work with the Lemur.

Thanks, I am investigating CA for composition now, so it's a nice thing to see

I spent a part of the night on wikipedia and Max with your patch.

Looks like a new playground for me and my Lemur for the next months ;-)

It works great in 5. I generally only go into 4.x for projects I'm 

working on that have to stay there for now, so 5 was the first

It works great in 5.  I generally only go into 4.x for projects I'm  
working on that have to stay there for now, so 5 was the first  
environment I tried.

Sorry to dig this thread up again but does any one know where i can find this patch, would like to have a look.

Im working on something similar at the moment (thanks for your help earlier raja) hopefully we can get a reply from someone on this one, but i will post up the one im working on when its done.
