hey all.  dan and i have cooked up a new version of PeRColate for your
enjoyment:

http://music.columbia.edu/PeRColate

currently mac version only; the source code is all there, however, if
anyone has the time or energy to do a windows port for us.  previous
versions with ports by olaf matthes to winmax and puredata are on the site
as well.

the latest version now has seventy-some objects, including a complete set
of the CCRMA STK physical modelling and DSP instruments.  we’ve also added
a few more time- and frequency-domain objects that do some very weird
stuff, and we’ve fixed quite a few bugs that cause crashes on patcher
close.

finally, this distribution is OSX (carbon) only, so no more confusion with
accidentally installing the OS9 (classic) version.  however, please read
the installation instructions as the STK instruments require some
supporting files and whatnot.  

anyway, we hope you enjoy these.  

all the best.

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:

http://www.cycling74.com/version/version_5_0_6.html

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!
