I think this is one possible idea. but the joy of max is expandability as you learn more, and you lose that if you don't have the program..... build a person an instrument, and they'll want more features all the time; teach a person to build an instrument and they'll add features themselves....for a lifetime.... I found it fairly quick to get up and running with max on a basic level, and then I've added more as I've learned more. cheers, jeff Jeff Kaiser http://www.jeffkaisermusic.com pfMENTUM.com • AngryVegan.com On Jun 29, 2006, at 9:54 AM, David Coffin wrote: > I’m kinda surprised that no one’s responded to this idea: > Get Max/MSP aces to build what you need, or share what they’ve already > built, and use these in Max’s free runtime environment, at least until > you decide that you MUST get out your own hammers and screwdrivers. > > I’m very fond of it, altho I’ve never fully implemented it.
