The trackpad on the late MacBooks can track up to 10 or more (!) fingers at once. Fingerpinger is an external object for MaxMSP that we wrote around code from steike.com. It’s an experimental hack… but its fun and its free…
TrackPadSynth is a simple but fun example of what you can do with fingerpinger. It’s a standalone version, you don’t need MaxMSP to try it out…
Fingerpinger provides the following data in realtime (about every 8ms, very low latency):
You’ll need a recent Apple MacBook with Intel processor
MaxMSP 4.6 or MaxMSP 5

On the latest MacBooks with 4 finger gestures, we could not find a way yet to suppress the gestures for Exposé, so you’ll be confronted much too often with flying windows when playing with fingerpinger. Any help for turning off this “feature” is greatly appreciated.
Somehow we had to copy the MultitouchSupport.framework from /System/PrivateFrameworks/ to the xcode project folder to be able to compile the external.

We interrupt our usual broadcasting to bring you a special preview of the unreleased Max for Live!
Ableton gave Christopher Willits the green light to show off some of
the features from the not-yet-released Max for Live. If you’re a
digital-signal-processing dork like us, you know this represents an
exciting leap forward.
Tune in once a month as Christopher shows us some of the ways he
produces his own music, as well as the many cool things you can do with
recording software. According to Christopher, “I simply want to excite
people’s imaginations and creative processes so they can more easily
create the sounds and music and art they love.”
