RE: [microsound] MAX/MSP



God i was resisting but i just have to jump in. muwahahahaha...

ok, first of all it is wrong to shut your self off to possibilities and it is wrong to think that it is wrong to re-invent the wheel.right.

something like max/msp is a wonderfull tool that goes a layer deeper to allow more fuckery. think of it like switching pacthes. some ppl are not happy with just that and want to programme their own patches. some ppl like to wire up there own modules and have more crazy patches they can switch between. other folks like digging a bit deeper and like to programme thier own modules. it just keeps going on. some folks would rather develop their own lowpass envelope algorythm in a programming language. hell, i know a nutter who wants to develop his own programming language cause he is not happy with linux( now that is a bit crazy but i admire him for his energy, and more power to him)

ok. my point is max/msp is a fantastic music tool because it lets you get to the lowest layer of making music. its intuitive, realtime and is gonna be ported to win doooooooze !!

I'm not all that familiar with the
MAX/MSP programming enviroment, but from what I understand, you pretty much
have to be a decent C++ programmer to use it anyhow.



This is close to the point I was hitting at... why not invest some time in your art? Work on c and read the I Ching everyday for a year and then you can grab msp, if need, by the balls. Do we really need another dreadful reverb plugin? Software has the potential to be as visceral an art as literature. Do please take some care with your education.

ok, I'm getting off my box now.
