April 12, 2016: An updated version of this tool is now available in the Package Manager.

This package gathers updated versions of projects that were formerly distributed separately as:

It also includes several items that were lurking on my hard drive and never formally released, like the nw.recordplus~ external and some jsui code. My goal is to slowly gather as much of my Max work here as possible, so that it is easier to track changes and share with others. I am also producing short YouTube videos as I go along, so that people can easily see and hear what these items do.

Externals are currently only compiled for the Mac version of Cycling74's Max, but the source code is included as part of the GitHub repository. If you would like to help me compile a binary for Windows, please contact me.

A small set of externals aimed to ease the transmission of audio signals between different MaxForLive devices.

Mac only, at least for the moment, but sources are included.

Hi everyone! This is my latest collection of linux audio plugins translated and compiled for Max/MSP (Windows version). This collection of  plugins derive from various developers: Faust library, Fons Andriaensen's plugins, Robin Gareus' plugins, K.S.Matheussen's radium compressor, and Zam plugins. It would be great if anyone could contribute to my project by adding more or compiling them for Mac. Cheers!

Due to many requests in forums, here are ports of fiddle~ v.1.2 + bonk~ v.1.3 for the windows platform using Max/MSP MaxSDK-5.1.6

The code & OSX externals is by Ted Apel (http://crca.ucsd.edu/~tapel/software.html)

Author: Artm BaguinskiLight detection and ranging (LIDAR) instruments provide a fast and accurate way to track objects in 2 dimensions. V2_Lab's v2_max.sick.lms100 object for Max5 makes the SICK's Laser Measurement System LIDAR available inside this popular media programming environment.

Sometimes the "content you need" is a tackle box full of lures for specific situations – computer vision and great toolboxes for physical modeling Max externals, for example.

This time, I want to remind you about something you might already have: the CNMAT tools.

Most of the time, Max users who’ve visited the CNMAT website at UC-Berkeley are looking for the Max OSC (Open Sound Control) objects because they want to move data between sensors and actuators or talk to their or Apple or Android mobile devices.

Or sometimes people have wandered over looking for a copy of Tristan Jehan’s analyzer~ object [think of it as the fiddle~ object with racing stripes, spinners, and an LED-illuminated undercarriage].

What? You don't have 'em yet? No worries - click here and click on the CNMAT Max/MSP Externals for Mac link. In Max 7, you'll want to put the downloads in your Shared Library folder (/Users/Shard/Max 7/Library on a Mac and C:\ProgramData\Max 7\Library\ on Windows) for easy access.

OSC is great and all, but you might want to have a look around the rest of the helpful Max externals in the download. Among other things, you'll find

Max externals that perform tasks that people ask about all the time on the forum (finding least common multiples? Try lcm)

Max objects that you might have done back-of-the-napkin cogitatin' about (signal routing using Jitter matrices? Yep, cnmatrix~)

Max externals added that one thing you wish that the standard MSP object had (e.g., the accumulate~ object works just like +=~, but you can reset it at signal rate).

Nifty objects that perform functions that you'd have to build enormous MSP patches to manage (need a big bank of parametric EQs? Say hello to my leetle fren' peqbank~)

But for me, the point at which the CNMAT externals moves beyond The Greatest Easter Egg Hunt Ever are right here:

Resonant filter banks (basicresonators~, resonators~, and their cousin res-transform, whose name alone should give you the vapors)

Banks of harmonic, sinusoidal oscillators (harmonics~)

Banks of exponentially-decaying sinusoids (decaying-sinusoids~ and its associated helper objects) that play well with SDIF (Sound Descriptor Interchange Format) files [You can use Michael Klingbeils amazing SPEAR application for Macintosh and Windows to read, display, modify and export audio files as SDIF files].

Can you can feel the rabbit hole calling your name? If not, fire up the CNMAT migrator help file. If you don't just sit there listening with a big, stupid smile on your face, see your therapist.

The CNMAT website has one more must-see attraction: The Max/MSP/Jitter Depot. It's a treasure trove of interactive tutorials (Want a good tutorial on those decaying sinusoid objects? Check. Tuning and temperament tutorials? You betcha. A great intro to FM synthesis? Bien sûr. It's all there.), bits of Max patching all ready to copy and paste, and lots of programming tips to make your life richer (if not easier).

Here's a little glimpse at some of the helpful resources in the MMJ Depot collection about working with data in Max. See anything here that might be of interest?

Yeah. This is also Content You Need. To grab yourself a copy click here and click on the MMJ Depot links.

Once you've spent a little time, I figure that you (like me) will owe the folks at CNMAT a pint, at some point. But before I go - I'd like to pause a moment, raise my glass (Bookers neat with a splash of water.) and toast the memory and work of David Wessel, who directed the Center for so many years and was such an inspiration to us all. We love and miss you, David. May your name be for a blessing.

The ICST Ambisonics tools are a set of externals for full 3D surround audio processing.

In addition to the DSP-objects capable of encoding and decoding Ambisonics signals up to 11th order, the suite includes a GUI and a trajectory control object for the source control in any surround setup.

Under development and in use since 2003 the tools are freely available and work in 32bit and 64bit architectures on Mac and Windows.

An object for latching on to data streams once a specified number is reached. Useful for avoiding jumps in data such as in UI's where a controller and a mouse might be in use for adjusting the same parameters..... see the help file for a demonstration/better explanation. Please let me know what you think

The CVToolbox (manufactured by KissBox) is an hardware control module for analog synthesizers. It provides eight CV (Control Voltage) channels with 16 bits resolution to control any kind of analog synthesizer (modular or desktop). Each output can be controlled by the internal synthesizer engine, or by the kissbox.cvtoolbox external.

The kissbox.cvtoolbox external allows to control any CVToolbox output in real-time from a Max/MSP patch. For example, you can put an ~adsr object on a patch and use it to control hardware modules like VCF, VCA, etc... like if the synthesizer is a part of the patch (or like Max/MSP is a part of your synthesizer).

The external is available both for Windows and Mac OS platforms and can be used under Max5 and Max6.
