hi all!

i’m pleased to announce the initial release of COOPER.

COOPER is a flexible environment which allows to control patches from a
meta-parameter-level.
all the audio-processing is split into modules (generators and modulators),
which are connected to each other through a matrix.
every input you give to a module (with input devices like midi
controlers, the computerkeyboard etc)
can be recorded into a figure-file.
recording and playing figures allows the user to produce complex musical
structures
without the need to control every single parameter by hand.
there can be any number of meta-levels:
a figure can itsself contain commands to play figures (which themselfs
can play figures etc).
figures can be local or global, containing commands for only one
particular module or
for all modules touched within the time recorded.
and you can of course write figures by hand or with other programs.
it’s easy to integrate custum patches as modules into the environment.

COOPER will not work with versions of Max/MSP prior to 4.5.x.
currently COOPER runs only under Mac OS X.

COOPER is available from:

Hi all,

Forgive the promotion, but maxers may enjoy this max/msp improvisation
I just put up on my netlabel:

A fifteen minute exercise in blissful and tortured improvisation for
piano and laptop is the first solo luvsound contribution from
Wisconsin’s Bryan Teoh (also a member of ICELU). Bryan’s primary
instrument is guitar, but it’s clear he operates just as well striking
strings as he does plucking them. Bones break, strings vibrate, on a
landscape.

You can download the release here: http://www.luvsound.org/index.php

Best,
Erik

Hi all,

“resumai” is a Natural Language Processing toolkit and text
classification in max mxj class.

For the moment, “resumai” does summarization (natural language based or
bayesian technique), categorization, key phrase generation, part of
speech tagging (VERY USEFUL), anaphora resolution (i.e., matches proper
names with pronouns), identification of place and human names, and
sentence boundary detection. It will soon do document clustering by
similarity and use vectors instead of text. It will soon use Jitter
matrixes for staying in max rather using text files.
You can use it using a max symbol or directly from a possibly large
file. Available file formats are .txt, .htm, .html, .pdf, .doc, .abw
and .ppt.

You can download it from :
ftp://ftp.forumnet.ircam.fr/pub/max/MXJ/resumai.zip

I hope to give other good news soon. Meanwhile, I’d be happy you debug
it.
