Both as, artist and Max Certified Trainer & running Structure Void in Marseille. I'm organizing 

, a free community live-patching night, and the first one is happening at GMEM (Centre national de création musicale) on January 7, 2027.

The idea: performers improvise music live with Max or Pure Data, starting from a blank page. 60 minutes, nothing prepared, nothing saved. It's inspired by the "Blank Pages" protocol: a fully transparent situation where the audience walks around, watches the screens, and hears the music being built in real time. The patch, the architecture, the gesture, all exposed.

If you're near Marseille, come by. And if you patch and want to play, there's an open call:

VOID.SESSIONS #1, soirée de live-patching au GMEM, Marseille, le 7 janvier 2027.

Des artistes improvisent en direct avec Max ou Pure Data, à partir d'une page blanche. 60 minutes, rien de préparé, rien de sauvegardé. Inspiré du protocole "Blank Pages" : le public circule, regarde les écrans, écoute la musique se construire en temps réel.

Entrée libre. Et si vous patchez et voulez jouer, open call ouvert :

Hi all. Over the last few months I turned three RNBO patches into polyphonic generative MIDI plugins (AU and VST3, macOS and Windows): AMI-POLYCHAOS (chaotic maps), AMI-PLSYSTEMS (L-systems played as a mensuration canon) and AMI-POLYMARKOV (Markov chains learned from a MIDI file). They come out of my doctoral research on algorithmic composition at UNAM.

A few things I learned on the way, in case they save someone time:

- The whole engine lives in one codebox; the params feed its inlets. One export builds the universal Mac binary and, on GitHub Actions, the Windows VST3.

- External buffers loaded from JUCE (setExternalData) need their own [data] box in the patch, or the engine silently reads zeros.

- Logic 12 hosts AUs out of process and does not turn a note-on with velocity 0 into a note-off, so makenote → noteout leaves notes hanging. I rewrite them as real note-offs in the JUCE wrapper.

- Params you use as outputs to the UI get recorded as automation in Logic's Latch mode unless you declare them as meters (non-automatable).

- Live has no slot for third-party MIDI effects: the VST3 has to be an instrument, with its MIDI routed to another track.

I'll talk about all of this with Tom Hall on Office Hours on October 28, 11am PT, with live demos: 

Happy to answer questions here. The plugins and a 30-day trial are at

Feel like this is the direction Max should have taken… but maybe I'm wrong:
