DJster Autobus is based on Clarence Barlow’s legacy real-time pitch and rhythm generator AUTOBUSK, originally running on the Atari ST computer. The device has 12 parameters which control various musical textures that encompass a wide range from tonal to atonal and from rhythmic to arhythmic structures, with strong allusions to historical and ethnic styles. The device reads text files containing the definitions of scales and meters and also opens .scl files from the scala library with well over 4000 different scales. The device improvises according to probability distributions – based on theoretical research conducted by Barlow in the 1970’s – and uses a sound font player and/or a sampler for microtonal playback. Documentation for the original program is available at http://www.musikwissenschaft.uni-mainz.de/Autobusk/

DJster derives its name from Barlow’s principle of the indigestibility of a number and  should be pronounced | ˈdīˈjestər |. I also like its similarity to jester, gesture and deejay.

The installer also contains resources for the Quintet.net and MaxScore environments as well as additional Max patches introducing the theories behind DJster.

MaxScore provides standard western music notation in Max/MSP and Ableton Live

MaxScore is a Max Java (mxj) object which accepts messages that can create a musical score, add notes to it, transform the notes, perform, save, and load the score, and export the score to popular formats for professional publishable results.

MaxScore is more than a notation tool. It is an interactive performance object. MaxScore can play back a score and drive your MSP patches through an instrument interface. Scores can be created and modified in real-time and rendered as Jitter matrices. You can add notes explicitly by specifying durations, pitches and dynamic, or use Max to generate an arbitrary stream of musical events and use MaxScore’s Transcriber to notate them automatically.

The MaxScore / LiveScore Editors will give you the power of a notation environment with floating palettes, plugins and graphics with the option to  create traditional or graphical scores and to export them to pdf.
