Gboids
This patch uses an implementation of Craig Reynolds’ “boids” algorithm (available in Max Javascript Examples) to drive a granular synthesizer, where each agent represents a grain, scrubbing an audio sample as it moves in a two-dimensional space. This brings a semantic change to the sound synthesis model, like position, grain size, etc. to semantics related to motion and collective behaviour, like inertia, alignment and separation.
Entirely built in Max, no externals.
