Max/MSP Patchers

 

MaxMSP Modular Modular Synthesizer
This is a modular synthesis system that I designed for a live performance with Kris Geffen in 2009. There are various conventional structures such as wavetable oscillators, filters, and sequencers. They are routed via a novel use of the matrixctrl as a sort of Synthi like pin panel.More Info  Patcher
MaxMSP Oscillator Oscillator bpatcher
This is one of the bpatchers that I put together for use in a basic synthesis system. My intention was to make some abstractions that made it simpler to implement repatchable synthesis in a live setting.  I eventually reused some of these ideas in the modular synthesizer patcher.More Info  Patcher
Sequencer bpatcher
This is one of the bpatchers that I put together for use in a basic synthesis system. My intention was to make some abstractions that made it simpler to implement repatchable synthesis in a live setting.  I eventually reused some of these ideas in the modular synthesizer patcher.More Info  Patcher
Stereo FM Noise Box
Does exactly what you’d think.  Interesting stereo effects created by arbitrary amounts of feedback.  MSP ordinarily disallows feedback. I “cheated” and achieved the effect in this patcher via tapin~ and tapout~, which effectively bypasses this limitation by adding a millisecond of delay.More Info  Patcher
808 Emulations
Here are some recretions of the various synthesis techniques used in the Roland TR-808.  Jordan Whilcott spent a lot of time examining the 808 schematics in order to come up with these faithful recreations in Max-speak for one of our performances at TESC.More Info  Patchers
Audio/Video Manipulation (Jitter)
This is an extremely simple example of a Jitter patcher that imposes timecode scrubbing on video playback.  The parameters are controlled by the amplitude of an audio stream.More Info  Patcher
