MIAP (Manifold-Interface Amplitude Panning) v2.1.0 Release

Hello everyone!

MIAP v2.1.0 is done. Better late than never!

Please grab the release here: https://www.zacharyseldess.com/miap/downloads/

• To install the package, simply unzip, move to your Max 8/Packages folder, and restart Max.

v2.1.0 has quite a few improvements and additions, but here's a short-list of the most important updates:

1. Intuitive mouse-based map authoring and editing is now supported with [MIAP.map].

   • new interaction modes (@mode attribute) providing ability to

     • navigate the map (i.e audition)

     • create/delete and edit nodes

     • create/delete trisets

     • create and edit virtual and derived node links

   • [MIAP.map] @reporthints attribute provides helpful authoring/editing hints appropriate to currently active interaction mode.

   • @cartesiangridsnap and @polargridsnap provide optional snap-to-grid functionality for node placement and movement. 

2. Updated and improved help and examples patches, and new reference documentation.

3. Optional support for MC signal outlet (vs. traditional single-channel outlets)  in [MIAP~] 

4. Windows version of [MIAP.meyer] (previously only available on macOS)

There are three new videos added to the MIAP youtube playlist that walk through these and other updates:

If you're inclined to watch these, I recommend the following order:

1. MIAP v2.0.0: what's new?

2. MIAP v2.0.0: map authoring with MIAP.map

3. MIAP v.2.1.0: updates to MIAP.map

Lastly, I expect this to be added to the Max Package Manager at some point (application submitted to Cycling '74), making future updates much easier to distribute. I will send a short announcement if/when that happens.

Mappy patching (all from within Max now)!

Best,
Zachary
