David Zicarelli

In this presentation, Cycling ’74’s CEO and founder David Zicarelli and Content Specialist Tom Hall introduce us to MC – a new multi-channel audio programming system in Max 8.

MC unlocks immense sonic complexity with simple patching. David and Tom demonstrate techniques for generating rich and interesting soundscapes that they discovered during MC’s development. The video presentation touches on the psychoacoustics behind our recognition of multiple sources in an audio stream, and demonstrates how to use these insights in both musical and sound design work.

the "reverb" one is mind blowing -- can't wait to dive into that when it's posted

@arronweits we'll release Part 3 after Expo

I downloaded the patch files, but they are max.zip files. I'm running a mac, and it is an unrecognized file type. Any advice?

@tommyecho .maxzip is a contained Max Project - you can open it directly with Max.

Hi, 
the links to patches are not working !
thank you
Diego


@DIEGODALLOSTO I just checked and they're working here (try another browser perhaps?)

Wow! I'd never been interested in the MC stuff before, but now my mind's chugging away with ideas. Thanks guys! :-)

Oh, and I love the bit of gaffer tape on the laptop hiding the logo of the company that doesn't need any free advertising.

Hey guys! Amazing stuff here. But have you got any idea on where to get the last patch from with 24 piano VSTs? This wasn't included in the packs.

@JAANUS we didn't include it due to the complex nature surrounding patches with multiple instances of Kontakt & samples

Hello, I think these links are broken. Please could you supply some fresh links? Thanks, for the great presentation.

Owen Lewis, I just tested the 3 file download links above and they are all working as expected, so not sure what you are referring to

Rob Ramirez, ah yes should have known it was likely a browser issue. Thanks for that, Chrome seemed to not work but got it working with another browser.
