Anyone on here fuck with MAX/MSP? I installed the trial (fully unlocked for 30 days) over the weekend. I was getting fed up with midi routing roadblocks in Logic, and started looking at Ableton again...which led me to MAX.
I gotta say, I'm blown away by it. I always avoided it because I didn't want to do a bunch of autechre music. And frankly, because I didn't see the appeal of being so low level. But, it's a great environment for building midi tools, and relatively easy to come to grips with.
I solved my Logic program almost immediately, and also started in on some custom sequencers. I got it working with my launchpad easy too. I might have to retire Numerology in favor of my own sequencers.
That said, I realize it's not for everyone. I have lots of years of programming experience, and have already built some custom sequencers (software and hardware). So, I'm probably primed a bit better than most. But, anyone with technical skills and some patience could hop into it, I'm sure. Especially if you're tired of being brick-walled by Logic and whatever else for midi.
- it's fantastic. used it for years but not enough to warrant the upgrade price when i switched to intel. often think about getting in to abelton just for M4L tookingsteven
- Yeah, a full license is as much as Ableton almost. I'm gonna give it 30 days and decide then.section_014
