external objects for Max/MSP
   

externals :: Max

  • artificial tango - The artificial tango library is a collection of externals for Max/MSP dealing with recognition, analysis and generation of musical structures and events.
       
  • cvin - external and an additional windows driver to read data from the cvbox, a 88-channel analogue to digital converter (on parallel port) with 8, 10 or 12 bit resolution developed by Christian Klippel. Instructions how to build a cvbox can be found here. Manual as PDF file .
    Windows (41k)
           
  • flashserver - communication between Max/MSP and Macromedia's Flash (5.0 or later). For download of the latest version and supporting information visit my flashserver site!
       
  • mempio - control the meM-PIO / USB-PIO interface with 24 digital I/O lines made by MBC Messsysteme GmbH.
    Windows (66k)
      
  • netsend - netsend & netreceive objects to send control data over any network connection (TCP or UDP over LAN or internet) to the appropriate objects in Max or PureData. netreceive can also be used to receive data from Flash, PHP, Java and some more. On OS X try Adam Lindsay's Paradiddle to create your own user interface to Max!
    OS 9 (63k), OS Max 4.5 PPC (24k), OS Max 4.6 UB (105k), Windows (158k)
      
  • spacemouse - use Magellan Spacemouse or 3Dconnexion's Spaceball as input controller with 6 degrees of freedom. Works with the serial (RS232) versions (USB versions untested).
    OS Max 4.5 PPC (64k), OS UB (67k), Windows (84k)
       
  • trig - a collection of externals for trigonometrical calculations and conversions. The 8 objects include conversion between angular and cartesian coordinate systems and some vector calculations.
    OS 9 / OS (33k), Windows (28k)
       
  • wacom - use a graphics tablet to control Max. Works with all tablets that come with a WinTab compatible driver. Windows only! For a similar object for Mac look here (OS9) or here (OS X).

externals :: MSP

  • altiverb~ - AltiVec optimized stereo implementation of the Schroeder/Moorer reverb model, fully compatible with freeverb~, PPC only
    OS 9 / OS (40k)
      
  • analogue~ - analogue style band-limited oscillator that implements 4 different waveforms, namely sine, triangle, square and saw. The warmth (i.e. colour of the overtones) and the instability (i.e. inaccuracy) can be varied.
    OS 9 / OS (33k), OS Max 4.6 UB (19k), Windows (11k)
      
  • flite~ - a text-to-speech external using Flite, providing one male (american) voice called 'Kevin'. This object was developed for the passwort FM project at garage festival 2004.
    OS (4.3M), Windows (4.4M)
      
  • freeverb~ - stereo implementation of the Schroeder/Moorer reverb model, version 1.2. (sourc code included)
    OS 9 / OS (54k), OS UB (44k), Windows (24k)
      
  • gigaverb~ - a mono in, stereo out reverb implementation by Juhana Sadeharju with extra long reverb times up to several minutes (source code included)
    OS 9 / OS (54k), OS UB (49k), Windows (26k)
      
  • monoverb~ - mono version of freeverb~
    OS 9 / OS (32k), OS UB (22k), Windows (13k)
      
  • oggcast~ - oggcast~ & oggamp~ Ogg/Vorbis streaming objects to send and receive Ogg/Vorbis encoded audio streams over LAN or internet using JRoar, Icecast2 or PeerCast. Stripped down FREE versions from the oggPRO package.
    OS Max 4.5 PPC (593k), OS Max 4.6 Intel (623k), Windows (342k)
      
  • rvbap - reverberated vbap, i.e. 2-D or 3-D room simulation based on Ville Pulkki's vbap (vector base amplitude panning). Needs monoverb~ from above to run the example patch. More information on vbap is available here.
    OS 9 / OS (170k), OS UB (195k), Windows (203k)
       
  • shoutcast~ - mp3 streaming source client to send mp3 encoded audio streams over LAN or internet using SHOUTcast, Icecast, Icecast2 or PeerCast. Uses LAME to encode mp3.

All externals written by Olaf Matthes. To get support on using these objects or to report bugs contact me or consult the Max/MSP mailing list.
A list of all my available Max/MSP objects can be found on maxobjects.com.

Some other objects ported to Max/MSP can be found here.
  

In order to get the development of these and probably some new externals for Max/MSP going...
