Miniak Patch Editor is an application for creating and managing synthesis patches for the Akai Miniak (and Alesis Micron) synthesiser. It acts as a MIDI controller for the synthesiser, allowing realtime updates of the synthesisers current parameters.

Features:
– Realtime GUI control of every synthesis parameter
– Save and recall patches to file
– Retrieve the currently loaded patch from the Miniak and update the software interface to match
– Patch randomisation, with only the user selected parts of the patch being updated

How did this project use Max?

Miniak Patch Editor has been created entirely in MaxMSP, right down to using the 'export patch image' feature when creating the application icon. The application makes use of javascript in Max to handle SYSEX dumps. The pattr system is at the heart of the patches functionality
