This has been a recurring topic on the forum for years: Max doesn’t have a built-in 

! And it’s a real frustration—relying on qlist, timepoint, or dict quickly becomes a nightmare. Plus, it’s not visual at all, which is ironic for Max! We’ve all dreamed of a visual interface, something like a musical score.

A few attempts have been made using Functions, but they’re not very flexible to use.

So, the idea of using an OSC sequencer seemed like the most suitable solution. There are a few OSC sequencer apps out there but they’re often expensive, complex, or abandoned.

Ossia Score appeared to be a promising open-source option, but it's very complex and feature-rich, and its interface can be quite challenging — the learning curve is steep.

There was also the IRCAM’s OSCar/ToscA plugin for DAWs, but it doesn’t work well with the latest versions of Logic and isn’t really maintained anymore.

So, in the end, with the help of Mistral AI and Claude AI, I decided to create my own OSC sequencer tailored to my needs. I started with a Python prototype, and it worked so well (even though I’m not much of a coder…) that I continued developing it in Xcode using Swift (sorry, Windows users!).

I hope this will interest some of you… According to my goals, it’s quite comprehensive and flexible. The sequencer is multi-track. You can create different types of tracks: interpolated curves, step, message, bang, as well as a "markers" track with magnetic guides/landmarks.

It includes advanced zoom features, amplitude range settings for curve and step tracks, curve editing (linear or S-shaped/bulge interpolation), and an "autofill" function to automatically fill tracks with periodic patterns. You can select, copy/paste, and duplicate groups of points. You can review/edit points in a dedicated Point List window.

If anyone wants to test it, I’d love to hear your feedback!

Hey everyone! Just joined the Cycling '74 community and wanted to say hello.

I've been interested in creative coding and generative music for a while now, and Max/MSP has always been on my radar as the go-to environment for this kind of work. Really excited to finally dive in properly.

Looking forward to exploring patches, learning from you all, and hopefully contributing something useful down the line. The forum seems like a great place to ask questions and share ideas.

As part of my PhD project at IEM Graz, I am conducting a survey on composers' and performers' relationship with embodiment, and their interface use habits. If you self-identify as a sound artist, computer music artist, composer, organized sound artist, electroacoustic musician, electronic performer etc. or consider yourself working in these fields or a field related to these fields, please take the time to fill out the short survey found at the link below. Your participation is very valuable to the research project, and may shape the development of future interfaces and controllers.
