How do you get started when you begin a project in Max? We asked 4 artists working with Max to share each of their personal starting points. The results are each a unique view into Max…

: After making a bunch of sequencer patches focused on performing with a sixteen-slider MIDI controller, I found myself tending to use only one or two at a time. Aiming towards more substantial pieces, I came up with this patch. The main principles are: 1) to only use sliders to control the patch, and 2) to create a meta-sequencer that can combine several mini-sequencers. One result I love is that each slider controls many parameters, pairing every intentional change with something unexpected. I’ve been playing with a handful of pieces using this as a template. Hopefully it can be a useful starting point for you!

Thanks to the folks at Cycling’74 for commissioning this patch for their starting point series. What an honor!

JSM meta-sequencer starting point maxpatch

 This is a simple envelope follower & transient detection patch that receives an external audio source and produces bangs whenever new onsets are detected. As an example to help you get started, I have included a delay with variable dry/wet mix, delay time, and feedback amount. You can use the bangs derived from the transient detector to trigger new random settings on each of the three delay parameters, and to synchronize external sounds & gestures with random modulation within the Max patch. Happy exploring!

I was recently commissioned by @c74connect to create a patch for their "starting points" series, in which 4 different artist share their personal go-to starting point for creating new patching in Max/MSP (thanks @c74connect for including me!)

One of my favorite things to do is to combine my trumpet and other acoustic instruments with electronic sound worlds. A big part of exploring this connection, for me, is finding ways to use different kinds of gestures on my trumpet to control and influence the electronics. I personally get a LOT of mileage out of combining envelope followers and transient detection as a means of integrating these two worlds together and creating a sense of dialogue between my instruments.

You can download this patch, as well as the others included in this "starting points" series on @c74connect's blog: https://cycling74.com/articles/starting-points-in-max (I have also added this link to my bio!)

I hope you find this patch helpful / inspiring! ❤️

This patch shows a way to stack complex patterns using base shapes.In the patch, jit.gl.multiple is used to duplicate the graphics with jit.gl.gridshape. snorm is used in three jit.expr to set the position, rotation angle, and volume of the gradient graphics for jit.gl.multiple.With some parameter changes and presets, this patch can produce a variety of visual patterns.

This patch is a pattern generator I've been refining over the past couple of years. The core of this patch is a coll object which is dynamically filled with events. Each event contains information describing the note length of the event, whether or not the event is a rest, and a number (in this case the clip number in a playlist~ object, but this could be anything else depending on what the output of the pattern generator is fed into, e.g. MIDI note numbers if generating notes for a synth).

The good people at @c74connect commissioned me to create a patch for their "starting points" series. They asked 4 artists (@_js.m_ , @sarahbellereid , @ma_shihua , and myself) to share a patch they often use as a springboard for creating larger patches. These patches are all available for download from the Cycling74 blog https://cycling74.com/articles/starting-points-in-max (LINK IN BIO).

Swipe right to see another example of how to use this patch (sending MIDI notes to the Nord Modular).

I hope this patch provides you with hours of inspiration, and I'm excited to see what you create with it. HIt me up if you have any questions, or if you'd like to share how you're using the patch.

Big thanks to @c74connect for inviting me to be a part of this!
