The Modal Object Library is a collection of objects and abstractions to control and define modality in Max. Objects allow for the quick creation and implementation of diatonic scales and chords, harmonic and melodic analysis,  modal and chordal relationships, and many other tools that are useful for composition, performance, instruction, research, and theory/analysis. The Modal Object Library can be downloaded alone or bundled with the EAMIR SDK which included numerous quick-start-style patches for building instruments/interfaces to play tonal music.

The KiNstrument is a Kinect's controlled musical instrument made with Max and Synapse (http://synapsekinect.tumblr.com/). KiNstrument allow you to control with the body (hands + head) a virtual or midi instrument as a percussion set in the air (in this case, using Propellerhead Reason with a strange personal sounds).

In the performance, a tribute to Juan García Castillejo, KiNstrument plays toghether with sax, percussions, objects, and an unidentificated  

In this performance, a tribute to Juan García Castillejo, KiNstrument was played with the Aparato Electro Compositor (Castillejo-Scarani) and other instruments, such as saxophone, percussion, miscellaneous items and a number of electronic-controlled public.

The 'LCM Twitter Machine' is an interactive system which produces music based on collective input from a live audience. 

The setup comprises of a master Max-4-Live patch and several other smaller Max Patches hosted inside Ableton Live. 

The system pulls data from Twitter, parses it based on a command list, generates patterns of rhythm and melody based on Euclidean Rhythm, 1-D Cellular Automata and 2nd Order Markov Chains; converts this data into MIDI and control voltage to be passed on to a Modular Synthesizer, with the end user having realtime control over physical parameters. The users are also able to influence the triggering of ambience, effects and voice clips through use of the Live Object Model.

Shibeth, a metaphysical musical drama, was written by composer/multimedia artist Lawrence W. Moore for Psyche Electro-Acoustic Opera Company's inaugural production on August 26, 2017. The work features Max7 in its lighting design (which was a collaboration between multimedia artists Liza Seigido, Robert Holocheck, and Jheryl Hill), and in the live processing of the vocalist's performance. The lighting design incorporated sound reactive video, automated and sound reactive DMX PAR lights, and a DMX laser fixture. All of the interactive lighting and fixed scene changes, with the exception of the laser work, was programed in Max 7 by Liza Seigido.

The EAMIR Software Development Kit (SDK) allows users to build their own custom composition and performance applications for use with just about any control interface. This kit contains modular pieces of working code that, when strung together, quickly enable users to modify existing EAMIR applications or creative brand new ones sharing similar functionality.

This gives way for the use of just about any digital control interface  to be used as a composition and performance tool. Creating custom software is ideal for making applications that focus on a few musical skill sets for your users or for designing software to work with a specific control interface. The EAMIR SDK contains the latest version of the Modal Object Library.
