To your first point, this is exactly why Max was created, by Miller Puckette at IRCAM - so the artists didn't have to necessarily chase down coders to change their programs. In that respect, it's been a tremendous success.
- tomduncalf 5y agoAbsolutely! I went to a workshop on step sequencers at Ableton Loop which I didn't realise was about Max step sequencers specifically, and it was really interesting - the host asked who in the room was a programmer, and just me and my friend raised our hands out of like 20-30 people. Then he started asking who had built x, y, or z musical thing and everyone else was raising their hands - I thought it was interesting that they didn't see what they were doing as programming, even though it very much is to me!
- iainctduncan 5y agoha, great anecdote! Yes, it has been a super successful gateway drug to programming for many. :-)
