Big Ghost Prototype - 大鬼原型

Big Ghost Prototype 大鬼原型 is a MacOSX software developed in MAXMSP/Gen~ that aims to explore the concept of buffer data manipulation, inspired by the error correction/anti-skip units of old CD players.

It creates a time-delayed "ghost copy" of an audio file that can be manipulated in real time with feedback lines and DC filtering applied directly to the buffer reader index, a unique feature that I believe doesn't exist elsewhere.

This results in distinctive sound variations and glitches that can be recorded instantly. The software includes an 8-step sequencer with storable random steps, enabling random jumps from one point of the file to another.

The GUI is an homage to the old rare Max 5/6 applications one could find around the web.

Very nice, I wonder if it would work with Mac 10.14 and if I necessarily need the latest copy of MAX

Hi @emiliano,

You don’t need Max at all since this is a stand-alone application.

I didn’t test it with Mojave, but if Max8 works on your Mac then this app should work too.

Cheers,
