Hi, I was wondering if anyone know's where I can find more Max/MSP patches especially more advanced patches. I have trouble designing my own instruments and it would be helpful to find patches done by others. Thank you very much!

The best answer takes a bit of time: lurking on this list and looking 

at the patches that people often post. Also often people talk about 

objects that they are using which you may find interesting. Head over 

 and look up those objects, download them if 

you can, install and look at them. Open their help files and integrate

For me the big breakthrough into Max came only recently when I started 

taking parts from all the help, tutorial and example files and toss 

them together to form something new -- instead of thinking that my 

patches have to be written from scratch. For most ideas someone has at 

least a similar solution already. It's much better to adapt those (and 

get your work off the ground) than to sit there, scratching your head, 

wondering why there is no sound coming out of groove~ *again*...;-)

specifc (say "FM synthesizer").

The best stuff i found so far was here on this board. But they're not big, finished patches, they're gems on how to do specific stuff.

Bigger patches would probably not even be that useful, as your design of patches will often differ to theirs and you'll have to look for interesting parts.

Hey, now i think about it, a tree view of all subpatchers, would that be useful? Poly~ would have to be included, and bpatchers as well (those two need promotion anyway).

but it's somewhat aged now and only works in 4.6 ... But you can still get a good idea of what it can do.
