i recently made an album entirely composed in max/msp,
so i thought i'd share. hope you enjoy.
it's a drone album with rather simple wavetable synthesis.
waveforms are derived from the infamous equation (which i don't know the proper name):
f(t)=(t-t*a)(t-1)(t+1)(t*a-1)(t*a+1)
the composing max patch only has two interactive section: length of the piece and series of numbers.
series of numbers represent fundamental frequency of all wavetables and each wavetable’s parameters.
the series of numbers can be divided into categories.
for example,
35.3 11 60 5 5. 2 26 11 6.5 13 121 11 7.2 11 49 11 1.6 15 78 14 2.2 8 39 4 5.4 14 86 11 7.1 7 86 11 7.3
the very first number is the fundamental. the followings are four numbers for each wavetable times eight.
i.e. the numbers above can be broken down to:
35.3 // fundamental frequency
11 60 5 5. // parameters for the first wavetable
2 26 11 6.5 // parameters for the second wavetable
13 121 11 7.2 // parameters for the the third wavetable and so on...
11 49 11 1.6
15 78 14 2.2
8 39 4 5.4
14 86 11 7.1
7 86 11 7.3
the parameters are,
1. order# of overtone (integer)
2. variable a of the equation (integer)
3. unstability of the waveform (integer)
4. amplitude envelope form with respect to duration (floating point)
you can download the album here...

but notice that this isn't an mp3 release but a video release so the zip file is huge!
if you just want the max patch, it attached to this post.
you can preview the video at youtube.
