You'll find some free software made with Processing and Max/MSP. The website will be updated soon with some new versions, along with the documented source codes.

While your at it, you can also check the rest of the website! ;)

I tried Narrativas Sonoras on my MacBook running 10.5.2, however, and I can't get it to do anything.

Tried running it directly from the desktop, but no luck.

Also, when I use the "open" command, both the included .nsn-files are greyed out.

I just looked at the videos. The interface are very nice.

Narrativas Sonoras timeline is really beautiful !

I can't wait to try it (I'm a windows user) and understand how this is done.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes, the same happens here, the only way I can launch it in Leopard is to run it directly from Max. I'm waiting for Max 5 (aren't we all...) to adapt the software, bring it to version 1, compile it for Mac and Windows (Linux would be awesome, maybe someday ;) and release the source. I've been coming to cycling'74's website in what seems to be an hourly basis for one month now... ;)

If you like, you can subscribe to the RSS feed on the news page on my website to be notified as soon as the new versions arrive...

Is it an easy task to run the app within Max/MSP?

> Is it an easy task to run the app within Max/MSP?

I wouldn't call it exactly easy, as one has to copy a lot of libraries from the Processing folder and the Max folder to the system Java folder (and delete them afterwards, otherwise Processing won't work) and compile two loaders for the processing .java files, etc, etc... I got the picture from:

https://cycling74.com/forums/index.php?t=rview&th=26406&rid=0

with some additional help by the thread's author jbm (thanks!).

Anyway, I intend to see how it works in Max 5 and compile the full instructions, or even redo all the processing interface in jsui, if it is faster in the new Max.....

thanks, the software is very interesting. and the site to.

Thank you for the software. It is looking really nice!

Unfortunately, so far it is not working here. I've tried it on two machines, both running 10.4.11. On one the applications hangs during startup, on the other it gets to showing a completely empty window. On this machine when I use the "open" command, both the included .nsn-files are greyed out, like oivindi experienced too on 10.5

Looking forward to the improved/cleaned up versions and seeing the source of especially the Processing side of things!

In the mean time, any suggestions on how to get it working?

Narrativas Sonoras opens, but the window is off screen. Try using Expose, and you can see it tease you. It looks almost like the window was drawn way off to the left, maybe you were on a second monitor when you saved as application?

So, I'm not really sure if it works or not since the interface is not on screen.

right! after loading, which takes about a minute (literally:), it uses aproximately 45% of one core, but no window in sight. only when hitting expose button i see a tiny tiny window all the way on the left.

I hope it's fixed soon...I can't wait to try it (and/or pick apart some max and processing files). :)

The interface for the sequencer is nice n elegant. I really like how polygon vertices and a sphere are the basis for the sequences, afterall, isn't a lot of music about circles and points in time? Excellent work!

Thank you for your feedback. It's clearly a problem with loading the processing interface from within max... I should have known I was clearly asking for trouble with this approach! I think I have two options now: to re-write the interface in Max or to write a granular synthesis engine in Processing. I think I'll go the first route, which means I'll really havae to wait for Max 5, as it has been announced that several changes will be made to the UI engine...

Until then, and as you all have been really supportive, I compiled a version that you should be able to run, even in 10.5 (it runs in mine!). It's now composed by two applications: "Narrativas_Sonoras", the processing interface, and "NSEngine", the Max Audio Engine. You should launch the Engine, wait until the Audio in turned on (1 second if the audio interface is selected, otherwise you'll have to do it manually), and then launch the interface. Please make sure the two applications can communicate via OSC (you can see the ports in the max patch).

It is uploading as I write, should be available in a few minutes.

I hope that will do the trick until max 5 is here and I disclose the source!

I think Max5 will have a lot of new support for graphical 

UI objects. Up to this point if you wanted to do a fancy 

UI and did not have jitter, jsui was your only option.

Javascript is not the most efficient thing to use for graphics, 

the new lower level UI language will be a great improvement.
