I've really wanted to play around with Max for quite some time. You could try out pd or jMax. http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html http://www.hanappe.org/jmax.html http://www.ircam.fr/equipes/temps-reel/jmax/en/index.php3 >...we think of a MIDI note-on and it's associated note-off event as >comprising one item or entity rather than two events.

That may be true when working with a sequencer, but when programming MIDI processor you do have to face the deeper reality. This applies to Max or any other programming environment. For example, I once made a small patch called "hocketizer" that would take a stream of MIDI notes and distribute them to several different MIDI channels to create hocketed parts on a multitimbral synthesizer. I had to keep track of what note on went to which channel, so that I could send the proper note off to that same channel. This wasn't difficult to do, but is also easy to overlook (Performer 1.2 had this problem - which I discovered when I got a lot of stuck notes on a TX816). -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com
