What exactly is cycling 74’s stance on the backing and support for external developers? Specifically the developers that have put together those top libraries that make max/msp what it is today. Many come from ircam but some are just random enthusiasts.

I have spent the past few days trying to make a very popular external package work. Turns out it’s been broken pretty much since launch. I don’t blame the developer since it’s seemingly one guy at ircam doing all of it but it got me thinking. 

This specific package is mentioned all over as THE physmod library for max and good libraries for physical modelling is a pretty big pull for anyone looking at this kind of software. I don’t know how other software companies handles this sort of thing but wouldn’t it be a good idea to make an effort to make sure important libraries actually works and don’t break when the developer burns out? Max/msp would be a lesser product without some of these packages.

Hi Philippe!
I'm quite busy right now working on my diplomatic thesis (which is also based on Max for Live), but I may be interested. Could you be a bit more specific about what you want to do?

The University of Illinois is hosting a special PdCon - the PdMaxCon - to celebrate Pd’s 30th and Max’s 40th year anniversaries.

September 5-7, 2025, at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

This is the page that will be updated with more information as it becomes available: 

We already have Miller Puckette and David Zicarelli lined up as our keynote speakers.

This will be double-blind, peer-reviewed. So I am also looking for volunteers to review submissions. Please drop me an email at 

 with your preferred email, and what you feel you can review competently (e.g., research? Music? Workshops? Demos? Installations? Topics? Pd or Max or both? Etc.)

You can be both a reviewer and a submitter.

Registration will be free, but we have no money to offer travel or accommodation support.

I don't know about you, but when I get syntax errors in shaders, they're mainly in the XML tags. This happens because syntax problems in this part of the shader aren't well reported in the Max console, and thus, it's very easy to misspell some words and get crazy trying to find where the mistake is (at least for me...).

I edit my shaders in Sublime Text, and for the reasons above, I decided to put together and share a package that highlights jitter-specific syntax in Sublime Text.

 (if you haven't already). You can find the software at 

. Just download the correct version for your OS and install it.

Open Sublime Text, then go to "Tools" -> "Command Palette..." in the menu.

This message should confirm the success of the installation.

. Open again the Command Palette, type: "Package Control: Install package", and press Enter

, then  type "GLSL" and click on "OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL)."

4) Editing the default GLSL syntax highlighting. 

Once again, open the command palette, type "Package Control: Install package", press Enter, then type "packageResourceViewer", and press Enter.

For the last time, open the Command palette again,  type: "packageResourceViewer: Open Resource", and press enter.

Then scroll down and select "OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL)."

and finally, select "GLSL.sublime-syntax."

This should open a document. Leave it open and go to the next step.

As the title suggests, unzip, open the file, select everything, and copy. Then, go back to the file GLSL.sublime-syntax, still open in Sublime Text, select and delete everything, and paste. Finally, save this modified version, overwriting the original.

If everything works correctly, whenever you open a .jxs, .jxp, or .glsl file, it should look something like this:

Note: If you must return to the original GLSL syntax package, download it again.

I hope this package can be helpful for you as it is for me. 

No longer stupid syntax errors in the XML tags!
