I can barely afford to both eat well and get drunk regularly let alone buy Max. But i do use Pure Data. I've most recently used it in a class to create a Karplus-Strong synth for a touch screen based virtual string instrument. I'm going to be uploading the patch along with the Processing sketch which drives the interface. Open source all the way. Even built the touch screen ourselves! Im a student.

It confused me too much last time i checked it out but now with awesome inline documentation i'm getting to grips with it and excites me with its potential. I've also played with reaktor and found it a bit clunk to work with, MaxMSP interface is a lot better thought out and the whole concept has a scientific beauty in its simplicity. Heres hoping i can learn and utilise it within the 30 day trial :P I’m revisiting MaxMSP now that 5 has arrived.

Oh yes I got your email about that. I forgot to reply! Im glad you posted here for people to see the link. I did watch the video on your site and I can see it serving a purpose. It's good you point out the fade dip issue. I usually just go by ear but I can see the issue stumping people. Hi Mormo. Oh yes I got your email about that. I forgot to reply!

Over the last few years I've usied Reaktor, Synthedit, Synthmaker and Sonic birth but max/msp is the most user-friendly of the bunch. This is in large part due to its excellent documentation and help files. I use it to build little effects and utilities that are missing in the sequencers i use. I just published a small crossfade plugin for ableton live that I'm using in my own projects: http://www.basementhum.com/2008/04/smooth-crossfade-plugin-for-ableton.html I’m using it, and love it.
