If you think that all 8 billion people can live with the environmental impact of a select portion of the human race who have already done irrevocable damage to the planet you are living in a fantasy. I hope that's not a guiding goal fo

I'm sorry but if you think Australia is rich without America's defense budget you have some serious rethinking about geopolitics that you need to do.

If you have Max installed I'm happy to send you incredibly complicated DSP and musical problems solved visually and cleanly. Open your mind for a second and realise that musicians needs are almost entirely different to software enginee

I absolutely love gen~. Graham Wakefield's software is all super interesting. His research centre at UoY is also very curious.

Again, you're missing the point. Max and pd were developed for composers and musicians to execute live performances of institutionalised academic music (as well as its long history of connections to IRCAM in Paris). It does that perfec

I mean, this kind of comment really only comes from someone who has never used the language in any kind of depth. Whether or not the object triggers twice depends on type of object as you pointed out, ordering of inputs forgetting whether o

Not to mention, it doesn't have to work like this... There are people, and I say this unashamedely, like myself that are experts in how Max works from its lowest level systems such as the scheduler to basic concepts such as order of ex

These are valid criticisms (although parsing max patches is very easy as they are just json files). However, I think you're missing the point. The point of Max is to be one notch away from something like Ableton - a language and method

What about connecting with the person who wrote the algorithm? Imagine a time in which music was only heard when performed by the right group of people. Without that the appreciation was mostly for a cultural memory or written record of the

Linux isn't even a reasonable, statistical assumption to be making in the consumer space. If you slag Apple, in effect you are promoting their biggest competitor - MICROSOFT. He even explicitly uses the phrase "PCs" which mos
