lp.zzz~	External		"Pink" (1/f2)noise (McCartney algorithm) Pink noise generated using James McCartney’s improved version of the original Voss/Gardner algorithm. McCartney’s algorithm is somewhat more efficient and, perhaps more importantly, distributes processor load more evenly. Also, it is possible to prove that the algorithm produces the desired power fall-off of 3dB/octave.
lpass2~	Abstraction		lowpass filter A second-order IIR lowpass filter which is similar to the standard MSP object lores~ (a resonant lowpass filter). Like lpass1~, the cutoff frequency in the second inlet defines the point at which the high frequencies will start to be attenuated. However, lpass2~ also takes a "damping factor", which controls the slope of the cutoff. Damping values greater than 1.41 produce a mild slope similar to that of lpass1~. However, damping factor values less than 1.41 produce moderate to extreme gain boost around the cutoff frequency, characterizing this filter as a resonant lowpass filter (the gain boost creates a mild to pronounced resonating effect).
max.fabs	External		max.fabs is an interface to the c fabs() function. it works identically to the standart max abs object except that you don’t have to provide a float argument to use it
max.urn	External		generate random numbers without duplicates max.urn works like the standart max urn object, but you don’t need to clear it
maxversion	Javaclass (mxj)		reports the version of Max in use And if this patch is running as a stand-alone
microtuner	External		Versatile MIDI-to-frequency converter for microtonal synths, can read mtx tuning files (version 1.1). Evolution of the mtx_loader object, microtuner is a Max object that can be used as a variable mtof (MIDI-to-frequency converter), capable of reading mtx tuning text files (native format of Max Magic Microtuner). It is endowed with three modulation range outlet couples that can be used to control scale-relative pitch bend and modulation with microtonal precision (so that the upper and lower limits for the pitch bend wheel, for instance, will be actual tones of the microtonal scale).
Modal Analysis	External		The Modal Analysis object analyzes notes played during a user specified window of time and tells what mode you're playing in. created by V.J. Manzo The modal_analysis object takes incoming notes in its left inlet and determines in what mode and tonic you’re playing when a bang is sent to its right inlet. The object attempts to filter out repetitions and organize notes to infer a mode. Double clicking the object will reveal a window similar to that of the modal change object which shows the mode as well as the scale degree distances that make up the scale and the particular mode’s context within the larger pitch collection. The ordered scale degrees are output as a list from the objects left outlet and the scale degree distances are output from its second outlet. The modal analysis+ object does everything modal_analysis does, but is also set to integrate with the modal change object to trigger a new mode change when a mode is analyzed. A user could conceivably play a scale, have it analyzed and then generate chords from that scale in real-time. created by V.J. Manzo www.vjmanzo.com | www.vincemanzo.com
Modal Change	External		The Modal Change object is a compositional algorithm to control modality. It outputs scale degrees and creates tables and lists that adhere to one of the 7 modes. created by V.J. Manzo The Modal Change object allows a user to specify a tonic and diatonic mode in its two inlets and get the pitch class value of each scale degree out its eight outlets. A user can send a pitch class number or a letter name message to its left inlet to set the tonic. A message box with a mode name such as major, minor, Phrygian, Lydian b7, can be sent to the right inlet to build up a scale from the given tonic. The object will output the scale degrees for any tonic within the modes of the major scale, the melodic minor scale, the harmonic minor scale, and the harmonic major scale (the major scale with flatted 6). Instead of using one of the mode names to build a scale, a user can also send a message with the number of whole steps and half steps desired to build their scale, and receive the scale degree pitch classes from its outlets. Double clicking the object will open a display that allows the user to see what mode they’re in and other information related to the mode including scale degree distances that make up the scale and the particular mode’s context within the larger pitch collection. The object can receive all of the organized pitch class data into a table or by using an internal table with the argument table1. The object can also receive the organized pitch class data into a coll list or by using an internal coll list with the argument scale. The coll list also has an added feature: it will take any incoming pitch and filter it to the nearest note from the selected scale. This allows you to set the tonic and mode, and filter all incoming pitch data so that whatever note is played, it will conform to the diatonic pitch collection you’ve selected. created by V.J. Manzo www.vjmanzo.com | www.vincemanzo.com
Modal Messiaen	External		The Modal Messiaen objects organize and calculate the pitches for Messiaen's modes of limited transposition. You create custom modes by sending the scale degree distance maps to the object. created by V.J. Manzo The Modal Messiaen objects operate similarly to the modal_change object, but output the pitch classes of Messiaen’s Modes of Limited Transposition. You can send it messages like C Whole Tone or E octatonic to receive the pitch classes of that mode. These objects are also useful for creating modes with 6, 8, 9, or 10 unique scale degrees as it also accepts scale degree distances. created by V.J. Manzo www.vjmanzo.com | www.vincemanzo.com
Modal Triad	External		The Modal_Triad object generates chords in root position or inversions. It takes traditional chord names, chord function numbers, Roman numerals, tonicizations, etc. It even takes altered chords like Ebdom7b9#11. created by V.J. Manzo The modal triad object allows a user to play tertian chords of any quality. It receives scale data from the modal_change object and, when a tonic and mode is selected, the object receives the numbers 1-8 in its leftmost inlet to output the notes of the chord function associated with that number. For example, in major keys, the numbers 1, 4 and 5 are always major chords, 2, 3, and 6 are minor, so, if C Major is selected, a 2 sent to the modal_triad object will yield the notes of a d minor chord. For each selected chord, the notes of that chord are sent to the object’s 7 outlets in the following order: root, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, thirteenth. Alterations like flat ninth or sharp eleventh are inferred by the chord function as it relates to the selected tonic and mode. The second inlet of the object allows the chord tones, received as pitch classes, to be restricted to one octave. The object also takes Roman numeral functions to yield chords. The standard capital Roman numerals for major, lower case Roman numerals for minor are used. A lower case Roman numeral iv in the key of C Major will yield an F minor chord regardless of the fact that chord has non-diatonic chord tones in it, the Ab. A capital Roman numeral with a plus sign next to it will yield an augmented chord, and a lowercase Roman numeral with a zero next to it will yield a diminished chord. In the same manner, a user can use letter names to build chords. A capital C will yield a C Major chord while a lower case e will yield an e minor chord. A capital C plus will yield an augmented chord and a lower case d zero will yield a d diminished chord. (set to C Major) This object also receives messages for tonicizations. A user can send the message Roman numeral V/5, to yield the 5 of 5 (a D Major chord in the key of C Major). The V Chord Tonicizations produce a Dominant 7th chord for each scale degree in the selected mode. That is, the root, 3rd, 5th, and 7th will form a Dominant 7th Chord exactly one perfect 5th above a given scale degree. The 9th, 11th, and 13th pitches of the chord are inferred according to the selected mode and NOT the mode from which the tonicizing chord prevails. Similarly the object allows other types of tonicizations including leading tone tonications and minor four tonicizations. Augmented 6th chords and Neopolitan chords can also be implemented. It even takes altered chords like Ebdom7b9#11. created by V.J. Manzo www.vjmanzo.com | www.vincemanzo.com
Mode Namer	Standalone Application		Mode Namer is a standalone that shows all the pitch classes for any mode. created by V.J. Manzo Mode Namer is a standalone that shows all the pitch classes for any mode. created by V.J. Manzo
Mody	Patch		Mody is a "real-time audio/graphical excitator/model of resonance's interactions editor" using Max/MSP (also as a standalone application)
movie++	External		A replacement for the standard movie object in Max. It does everything movie does, and: reports length and dimensions of the current movie or any movie file A replacement for the standard movie object in Max. It does everything movie does, and: reports length and dimensions of the current movie or any movie file (without loading in a window); allows the window size/position and autofit & border status to be set with arguments or via messages to the object, and can remember them as new movies are loaded; plus other minor tweaks. (If anyone in the Pittsburgh area has a firewire camera they can lend me for a week, firewire output can happen.....or just buy jitter.....)
MP3player (with buffer~)	External		simple mp3 (and other standard formats) player without jitter because the preloading of jit.qt.movie has several problems, I developed a supplementary solution for playing mp3 files within Max. it plays with buffer~. the interface is simple: just drag and drop the mp3 files to the "file" box, and start playback. You can scratch, fast-forward and control the speed/pitch without bounds.
MsPinky's Maxi-Patch	Patch		cue, pitch, and scratch digital audio files a Max/MSP patch, or program, that gives you the unique ability to simultaneously cue, pitch, and scratch digital audio files (.WAV, .AIFF, .MP3) as well as QuickTime movies using your standard DJ turntables.

loadbang.net SQL	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='99'Nick Rothwell	A Java library for communicating with SQL databases from MXJ. We currently support MySQL and HSQLDB. The HSQLDB system includes an embedded database instance, so it runs automatically from text files in Max\'s search path; no external database server configuration is necessary.
MaxAlea	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='96'Carl Faia	MaxAlea contains various objects for random distributions and functions. MaxAlea was begun as a Max port of an existing PatchWork Library created in 1991-2 by Mikhail Malt. While the distributions and functions found in MaxAlea are similar to those found in the Patchwork version ,there are many differences in their functioning. The environment of Patchwork is static and is not designed for real-time work. Part of the incentive for creating these objects to work with Max was to have a dynamic and real-time environment with which to experiment and work with these algorithms in a manner as simple and straightforward as possible. One can change variables and manipulate the output in many ways in real-time. There are several different versions of the various stochastic models/processes best presented in the now classic references by Denis Lorrain and Charles Dodge. Carl Faia has used a variety of sources for the creation of this library which include the Lorrain, Dodge and Malt implementations as well as sources found on the WorldWideWeb. The externals found in the package include several random distributions, examples of random walks and 1/f noise algorithms, as well as one or two utilities written specifically for the MaxAlea library. Carl Faia wanted to make a coherent collection (as he thought Malt had managed to do in PatchWork) of these various algorithms and provide an interface easily accessible using the Max environment for real-time control. All these algorithms have been created using a seeded version of the random function found in the standard AINSI library. That is, each time the function is first run there will always be a different set of random numbers (unlike the random funtions found in Max, PatchWork and other versions of random number generators).
Panaiotis Objects	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='122' Panaiotis	The Mac version is UB. These Max objects have been enhanced since the documentation to the left was written. Help files for the objects provide information on enhancements. The matrix object has been substantially upgraded. It now combines features of unpack, spray, funnel, append, and prepend into one object. This makes a great object to place between controllers and jit objects because it acts like a multi-prepend. There are new configuration commands and enhancements to the old: even, odd, mod,and range, among others). Most commands can be applied to inlets of outlets. There is also a mute function that adds another layer of control. Matrixctrl support has been enhanced. See the help file for full details and examples. Most other objects now fully support floats. RCer and autocount will count in float values, not just integers. Notegen16 is a 16 channel version of its predecessor: notegen. It is more generalized and much more efficient.
PeRColate	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='5'Dan Trueman	PeRColate is an open-source distribution of a variety of synthesis and signal processing algorithms for Max, MSP, and Nato. It is centered around a (partial) port of the Synthesis Toolkit (STK) by Perry Cook (Princeton) and Gary Scavone (Stanford CCRMA). Like the STK, it provides a fairly easy to use library of synthesis and signal processing functions (in C) that can be wired together to create conventional and unusual instruments. Also like the STK, it includes a variety of precompiled synthesis objects, including physical modeling, modal, and PhISM class instruments; the code for these instruments can serve as foundations for creating new instruments (one example, the blotar, is included) and can be used to teach elementary and advanced synthesis techniques. Given it's STK heritage and educational function, PeRColate is largely un-optimized, though all the objects run on a 80MHz 7100, which is pretty good. PeRColate also includes a number of objects not from the STK; some are from RTcmix and others are our own evil creations, designed to crash your computer, but only after making some kind of interesting sound or image.

suivi	debug: SELECT prenom, nom FROM auteurs RIGHT JOIN auteur_libraries USING (id_auteur) WHERE auteur_libraries.id_library='88' Ircam	Two externals performing score following on soloist performances using Hidden Markov Models (HMM) Suivi is based on FTM and requires the shared library FTMlib for Max/MSP. Both externals use an FTM track object - a sequence of time-tagged FTM values - to store the score of the soloist performance to be followed. Notes, trills and other elements of the score are represented by FTM score objects (FTM scoob class). For the moment, scores can be imported from standard MIDI files only. An editor for the FTM track class, which will also provide a graphical control interface for the score follower is under development as well as the import of MusicXML files. The suivi object set is distributed within the IRCAM Forum.
