Coconut - Step-Sequenced Mbiras
After many sleepless nights and a few lost hairs I'm chuffed to announce the completion of Coconut: a self contained music sequencing tool made within the MaxMSP visual programming environment. At the heart of Coconut is a multisampled toy Mbira (a small finger piano made from the shell of a coconut) that was given to me as a gift some years ago. Since then it's been bitterly starring at me from my shelf collecting dust, but now it's woody sonic-spirit has been immortalised in the digital realm as ones and zeros! If you're a Mac, download her and give her a whirl! I'd love to hear how you get on. :)
WHAT! This is ridiculously amazing! I will download tonight! I am doing a similar project with such visuals, good job man! A+ work!
This is really fantastic. Nicely done, the layout is beautiful, and the programming chart is unreal. Kudos!
Cheers guys! Ylannis, you'll have to let me know when you're project is finished buddy - I'd love to check out how you're getting on! :)
If anyone is interested I kept a blog for Coconut detailing every step of its creation. Perhaps it might be helpful or insightful for people embarking on similar projects: http://mrandersonpexmus.posterous.com/
great job! only Max writes newobj: tconvolutionUB ~: No such object. But the patch works and plays.
Oops! Cheers for the heads up Kluben! I'll sort that out in an update! :)
