“Sitting on your space front porch in your space suit. Listening and watching to random objects whizzing by, your space wind chimes and your space wife learning to play the space sitar/banjo/guitar in the background and it’s a good space day” type music
A noob question from someone who uses Max 8 only for audio, and the old school way (no audio plugins used in patches): Are JS skills (which I don’t have) required for implementation of such pendulum? Would upgrade to Max 9 worth it for someone who doesn’t deal with video, doesn’t use plugins and is not capable of working with JS? From what I read on Cycling 74 website I get the notion that for people like me the only news are that Presets get the possibility for interpolation without pattrstorage, and attributes are now colored in the different colors…
I have a bit of JS knowledge but not lots. It was easy to code the pendulum with help from Claude or ChatGPT - you can get quite a lot done with only a few inputs and a little bit of knowledge. I don’t think it’s possible to implement something like this without some written code, but the script is not long (~200 lines). On upgrading to Max 9, the jitter upgrades are the most significant but there are lots of smaller UX changes that make for a nicer experience overall. It’s a free upgrade from 8 so a no brainer imo
Technical question. How did you calculate the factor after the unpack (* 3.333)? From your code I was able to build something similar but came out at 2.333.
This is a fudge factor to try to scale the output. It is a rough calculation based on trial and error. I should probably just have fixed the code! Am not surprised you had a different factor 😂
Mesmerizing! It’s like next level Brian Eno 😎

We live in good times in all truth. Already utilising Max 9 Objects too, man I have not even booted max in months.
using a double pendulum to control preset interpolation is genius
apart from the sound, i really like how tidy your patches look
Thanks! I do like a tidy patch, really helps me think (and also fit everything in)
Beautiful
Beautiful sounds
Some of this really reminds me of "pt2ph8" or "Krylon" from Oversteps..
I love Krylon so much

fantastic!
Very nice. 👌

@ Thanks for the thorough explanation.
Interesting that you can upgrade from Max8 for free, I don’t have this possibility.
@@ersatz_benwait, where are you getting the upgrade for free?
@@evanpincus2203 Ah, I misspoke, I have the annual license and I was able to download Max 9 upgrade without additional cost

@@ersatz_ben Ha, yes, I had to use 2.333 to keep the pendulum in track with the nodes cursor.
