The TSAM is tool for the analysis, modeling, and mapping of the timbre of sound synthesizers.

Synthesis algorithms often have a large number of adjustable parameters that determine the generated sound and its psychoacoustic features. The relationship between parameters and timbre is valuable for end users, but it is generally unknown, complex, and difficult to analytically derive. The TSAM includes a strategy for the analysis of the sonic response of synthesizers subject to the variation of an arbitrary set of parameters, and it uses an extensive set of sound descriptors ranked using a novel metric based on statistical analysis. The TSAM can be used for:

- study of the sonic response of synthesizers;

- explicit control of timbral characteristics;

- dimensionality reduction of the synthesis control space.

jpb.mod is a Max 6 package with ready-made data modification modules. These modules address each of the five data modification types (interpolate, thin, offset, scale, smooth [itoss]). jpb.mod modules handle the modification of a one dimensional data stream. Rapid prototyping is one of the core purposes of the jpb.mod package library.

Jamoma Modular for Max is a set of custom externals and patching guidelines for Max developers. Version 1.0 provides an MVC-like architecture for your patchers allowing to patch multiple dynamic remote views for your patchers (models). Using the Jamoma Modular framework in your patchers also provides advanced state management of the various parameters within your patchers by the use of presets and cuelists, flexible mappings between parameters or externals devices using classic ease functions or custom ones. Jamoma-based patchers also embed features to handle unit conversions, ramping options and much more. 

Stable and beta installers for OSX and Windows are available on Jamoma download page.

You may also check out Jamoma source code at Github

It uses MaxMsp/Jitter 5 as a Framework. It is opensourced and can thus easily be implemented into you own patch (if you know how to do it :-)

This “toolbox” is a collection of Max/MSP abstraction that we have found useful in the IDMIL for creating gesture processing patches for digital musical instruments. Each abstraction is accompanied by a help patch to demonstrate its use. Authors: Joseph Malloch, Stephen Sinclair, and Marlon Schumacher @ the Input Devices and Music Interaction Lab, McGill University.

Quintet.net is an interactive networked multimedia performance environment invented and developed by composer and computer musician Georg Hajdu. It enables up to five performers to play music over the Internet or in local networks under the control of a "conductor." The environment, which was programmed with the graphical programming language Max/MSP consists of four components: the Server, the Client, the Conductor as well as the Viewer add-on.
The players interact by exchanging musical streams (control messages) via the Quintet.net server. For this, various inputs ranging from the computer keyboard, MIDI controllers, sensor input and/or the built-in pitch tracker can be used. On the server, the streams get multiplied, processed by algorithms, and sent back to the players as well as to the listeners. In addition, a sixth participant, the conductor, can control the musical outcome by changing settings remotely and sending streams of parameter values either manually or by utilizing a timeline.

The environment uses two network protocols for exchanging data: OpenSoundControl/UDP for time-dependent events, as well as TCP for safe data transmission. It also uses a mechanism to compensate for network jitter.
Quintet.net's open architecture accommodates various outputs such as the built-in sampler, MIDI as well as VSTi instruments and custom designed software patches for instrumental playback. It also features granular synthesis controllable by the players and the conductor.
Quintet.net's notation layer allows for better interaction and control on a symbolical level: The performers see the music that the participants produce on screen in "space" notation on five grand staves. The conductor can also send musical parts, which are displayed on screen and played back by the performers–all in real time.
The Viewer add-on allows the realization of full-fledged multimedia pieces by taking advantage in a modular environment of the Jitter video processing capabilities. Thus, users can easily add new processes.
The server also implements a sophisticated mapper/sequencer which allows to map any input to any output, be it musical or visual. 

The music performed with Quintet.net is a combination of composed and improvised elements. The lack of real synchronicity due to the usual delays on the Internet, necessitates the adaptation of a genuine "Internet" performance style for which John Cage's number piece could be considered a model: Cage requires certain notes or phrases to be played within "time brackets." It comes as no surprise that one of the first pieces realized with Quintet.net is an Internet version of the 1988 composition "Five" for 5 performers.
Local network performance, of course, can be played with unlimited precision.
