Hi everyone,

Jamoma 0.2.1 is now available at http://jamoma.org (Mac and Windows).

Jamoma is an open-source framework for structuring Max patches  
modularly.  It was developed primarily by Trond Lossius and myself,  
with additional contributions from several folks on this list  
(including Matt Aidekman and John Hudak).

There is a lot of stuff that I could say about it (we’ve been working  
on this for a long time), but I’ll spare you all (this time!).

Enjoy,
   Tim
  

Hello all,

Just to let you know we’ve released two new elastic objects today: elasticx~ and elasticindex~. The externals are based on the Max’s groove~ and index~ objects but with independent speed and pitch controls!

We had massive success from our release of elastic~ so we decided to develop our own algorithm, specifically for Max, meaning the objects aren’t limited on speed and pitch inputs, will play backwards, and except signals in all inlets. The new algorithm is also extremely efficient; about 0.2 – 0.5% CPU.

For any more information have a look at the demo video posted here: www.elasticmax.co.uk

Many thanks,
Simon & Joe

Includes over 120 fixes and enhancements, described here:

One issue worth mentioning is that if you save coll data in a patcher with 5.0.6, prior versions of Max 5 will not be able to read the data. So if you share colls in patchers with friends, get them to update!
