Max 9 Geometric MIDI Sequencer Demo
A walkthrough of my new Max/MSP patch commissioned by @C74connect for the release of Max 9.
The patch can be downloaded here:
cycling74.com/articles/custom-ui-objects-with-javascript
It’s a MIDI sequencer built around two Javascript UI components:
SPIN/SHAPE is the playback system - a polygon spinning in the center of a circle of sequencer steps. When any corner of the polygon passes a step, that note is triggered.
NOTE/WINDOW is a 16-step sequence with a sliding window that determines which notes are sent to the sequencer. The window size matches your sequence length, and you can quickly move it around to select different notes.
You can record notes and navigate through them, letting the spinning shape create unexpected patterns. While the UI is built in JavaScript, the actual note triggering is handled by MSP objects for better timing accuracy. - feel free to use parts of it in your own patches!

Hocket II Demo
Переглядів 11 тис.2 роки тому
A MIDI device for flexible voice allocation in Ableton Live. Hocket II takes the MIDI note messages on a track and splits them up into single-note events which are routed to up to eight other channels. Additional Hocket devices on those channels pick up the notes and play them. This allows for one piece of melodic content to be split up among multiple instruments, achieving a Hocketing effect. ...

What a gorgeous synth! - Is an update perhaps posiible? It sound so good that I want to be able to use more than just one instance of it, but every other instance i load, the parameters affect every other one in a session (Image, path, spin etc) Is an update possible one that creates automatic unique identifiers for the objects and patchers? I tried to do it myself using the #0, but since i am inexperienced in max i just messed it up.. Also an other issue i found was that when loading, the device sent out a bang which triggered the random and reset buttons, making ti impossible to recall the sound i saved in a session. (Now i am using a saved version where i just disconnected the random and reset buttons because each time the device loaded it sent out a bang and changed the modulation values, so now i can safely save a session and reloaded just as it was) Thank you for this device, it is certainly one of the best sounding synths around! And thank you for all you other devices too, your work is inspiring!
For this to be free is just UNREAL. It's absolutely comparative to anything FORS put out and is possibly even better in many regards. Rico you deserve support going forward and I'll be happy to purchase or support financially with whatever you bring out next 💪🔥
@@jasonharrison5765 thanks! Fors makes reaaaally great stuff (and are friends of mine), so i’m lucky it’s not a competition lol.
@eatfrenzy never meant to insinuate that buddy - on reflection it was a clumsy compliment - I meant it more in line of the quality of your product and I wish you and Fors every success 👍
been meaning to install live since forever. this might tip the scales. very promising demo thanks !!
this is insaneeeeee youre a legend for making it free man thank you!
amazing, thank you!! does it have the update to load dx7 patches?
Are you guys human?
"its not a max for live device" ...well.. NOT YET! *drag drops*
why does it look so fancy? is it possible to make this fancy and smooth max for live devices now?
well it isn’t a max4live thing, but yes it is possible.
top notch work as usual.
thanks!
you are amazing
wow it's free
I love plaits and ring, will be donating to your work, thanks!
Hello Ringtone, just one question as i did not found info on it, lets say I have a midi channel receiving midi from an external sequencer (oxi one), does Hocket able to use it? I mean is it possible to use the effect in kinda midi thru, without recording midi into a clip, kinda jam on the fly?? Hope that i was able to correctly express mysself.
nice
Beautiful. What reverb are you using for this demo?
@@asdszf thanks! pretty sure the reverb was supermassive. it’s great for this kind of thing and it’s free.
what a gem!!!
Such a beautiful instrument. I’ve been absolutely loving it. It’s a synth to get truly lost in. Amazing work. Thank you so much.
Wow just when you think you have enough plugins... this is friggin awesome
wow .... for sound design ,..its awesome ... absolute fantastic.... nailed ....
Anyone tell me how to actually play the sample? I have a sample loaded in but what do you do to actually play it?
not only did I learn a new word, but also discovered a beautiful device - had to cop IMMEDIATELY. Thank you!!!
Amazing, did you make that recurring sound on this device?
simple and well designed . .....💪💥🔥💭❤💨🕊.......
amazing device
Grabbing this now, can’t wait to mess around with this! And good karma is definitely coming your way for making it donation-based.
Metasynth (mac) or Virtual Ans 3 are thousand better!!! Everything from the set & concept have no meaning sonically and symbolically and are pretty wrong on interpretation. Should have study the ANS by Evgeny Murzin in the late 1950s (for Scriabin) or The UPIC (Unité Polyagogique Informatique du CEMAMu) system was invented by Iannis Xenakis. 😉
Amazing, i can sound like imogen heap now
Love you, man
Whenever I move off the instrument the image box goes black and stays that way
that’s weird. in the floating window? or in the little one? and what do you mean by “move off” exactly? maybe send me an email and we can figure out what’s going on.
Hey! amazing device, but the x/y panel its too big for my screen! :c can't access the parameters, How do i change the size of the screen?
i didn’t see that being a problem, what size is your screen? you can use the little one by pressing the up/down arrow button on the top right of the interface. it doesn’t have the gesture speed controls though, so i might need to look into some kind of fix for this in an update…
Maybe AI could be trained to generate beautiful images (or long images which you can scroll across like a piece of sheet music) that make beautiful sounds or evolving music. What would the image of a symphony look like (is there another way to visualize it in 2d/3d besides a spectrogram?) You got my mind going Hh
Or what about traversing a 3 dimensionalized literal landscape? (Google maps, video games, topological maps)?
Could you somehow trace the waves of the ocean or any water to hear it?
What about a he reverse…. I guess Ableton’s Wavetable in polar mode already does this, but allow input if wavetables to generate an image. Ah, the unique thing would be how your synth traverses them with your changing circle shapes instead of a linear line/polar circle. Or even let us draw a start and end shape that morphs from one to the other.
i’m not sure i follow. what is a “he reverse”?
@@eatfrenzy oh, auto-correct got me again…I can’t even think what I originally wrote Hh. Ah, “ What about the reverse”.
Very creative, as always! Here’s something this line that I’ve wondered about and maybe you could do it: Have you ever looked at the horizon/skyline and thought, you know, that looks just like a waveform, I wonder what it would sound like? Allow photo input (or even moving video?) and somehow trace out the jagged line touching the sky. Allow movable start and end points for wave exploration, with variable grain-like envelope to reduce clicking. (Maybe make it a granular synth?). What does your backyard sound like? What do the pyramids sound like? Or the Tokyo skyline?
This kinda reminds me of the graphical sound drawing stuff Daphne Oram was doing in the 60’s.
Cool! This is a really neat implementation of WTS 🙂 Curious if you're taking the wavetable approach of storing the output waveform in a buffer to read at different rates, of if you're instead calculating the trajectory on the fly?
thanks! it’s all calculated on the fly. with 6 different path modes and 4 shape controls per mode (not to mention 4 boundary responses and user submitted waves) there are so many possible ways to read from the buffer that i don’t think it would be feasible to calculate it all up front. it’s computationally expensive because the calculations are per sample, but the range of possible output waveforms is much greater.
Nice! Yeah the diversity of possible approaches to wave terrain makes figuring out these sorts of implementation details an interesting decision process! Re: images as terrains - how did you approach the fact that most images are 8bit? I was playing around with this a few years back and found that to be a limiting factor 😅 Do you do any smoothing etc? Also wondering if you came across Stuart James' thesis on wave terrain? Lots of cool ideas in there 🙂
Whenever I try to add a custom image, it just gives me a black screen and plays a sine wave. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Yeah I’m also having some weird issue, the map is always black no matter which of the 30 maps I select. Loading a custom image does something, but is also black… Also wondering how you make the max for live plug-in to show as a floating window as seen in this video… I also cannot see the modulating “selector” or graphic that generates the waveform…
@@julian-multiman @eatfrenzy I also had this issue. I updated all the max installed packages and installed Max 8.6.3 and pointed Live to use that, rather than the bundled version with 12. Seems to be running great now. Fantastic device!
try updating like the reply below and if that doesn’t work send me an email. we’ll figure it out.
@@julian-multimanthis sounds like a possible max version issue to me. try updating like the comment below, if that doesn’t fix it send me an email. or just email me anyway and i can send you the code for the floating window (it’s a separate patcher with some scripting to appear and disappear based on the last place you focus).
thank you SO much for making this! i'm unable to put my own images on live 12, windows 10 - let me know if there's a workaround, thanks again <3
send me an email and i’ll look into it.
i'll definitely be grabbing this! i make 3d art and might use this with terrain heightmaps as environment sound art. so much potential, truly. p.s. monke
great stuff!!
fyi serum can also accept images for wavetables but of course that operates entirely differently than this. very cool
Sounds and feels absolutely amazing! Can't wait to see what I can make using this. One thing I noticed though, is that the floating window doesn't seem to be opening up in Ableton🤔🤔
that’s weird. send me an email and i’ll see if i can figure out whats going on.
@@eatfrenzy Thanks, sent you a mail xD
Amazing idea!
AMAZING WORK! sadly I think saving/opening it as instrument effect racks sometimes causes live to crash, if that's fixed its pure gold as a plugin
please send me an email so i can look into it.
@@eatfrenzy will do, what do you need from me? Ableton crash reports?
Pretty amazing…. I follow your work since I found Hocket 2 a few years ago, will definitely support. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Oh my god i'm so tempted to get Ableton with max4live at some point and this is not making it easier. Looks like some of my favorite oscillators in VCV Rack combined and it's SO cool
How did you sequence the sequence around 2:58 minutes onwards? Its gorgeous
So simple, yet so many possibilities
