Are there any complex message-driven synths/modules/effects examples for max msp?
Hello, I’m looking for a synth implementation that can be controlled via Max messages—something that would let me tweak parameters, modulations, and the notes it plays based exclusively on messages sent from a sequencer. From what I’ve seen, it’s either tied to Max for Live or not quite what I’m after.
I mean the kind of synth/module/fx/etc. with which i can do anything with messages only, without interacting with ui and anything else.
For example, if it is a granular synth, i want to form a one long message, specifying a note and movements of how the sample is being read, envelope parameters, to create a one certain recreateable sound i want to get from the synth
there are some higher level objects such as paf~ or the factory bandlimited oscillators rect~ tri~ saw~, but not complete synths or effects.
what you are after is possible using vst~ though.
You can turn pretty much any example into a message-controlled patch by simply routing messages with the route object.
Reminds me of a patch from the Max5-era of a Japanese artist that was controlled by messages via textinput. I had that saved but due to a crash i lost all my found patches as i only had a back-up of my own work (you live you learn...).
Now i was just beginning at the time but what stood out to me was the super clean interface. It was the first time i saw a patch as a complete work of art so it stuck.
Does anyone by any chance know what i'm talking about and maybe even know where to find the old thread? I tried looking for it before but was never able to... Thanks!
