For all intensive purposes I believe this is it!!  My jsui library,  
MatSUI 1.0, is here!  http://www.estatesound.com/matsui.html

I just can’t wait any more. I want to hear what everyone has to say  
so much.  I would advise people to exercise a wink of caution until  
they are confident everything is fine.  Everything works here. My 7  
or so beta testers seem pretty happy.  I will readily admit to never  
being formally/academically trained in programming.

One thing I wanted to ask the more seasoned programmers and  
academics:  Are there any researchers that might be interested in  
this? I’m in no way familiar with the HCI field.  However, there are  
a couple things in here I’ve never seen before.  Would it be worth  
compiling a standalone as a demo to see what GUI-ish scholars think?

Working on MatSUI has been my creative output.  I haven’t written  
music for months.  When I needed guidance I asked myself what Kai  
Krause would do.  I’ve got tons more ideas…. TONS!!!!     This list  
has brought me up as a maxer (and a creative human) asking for  
nothing in return.  I’ve thought of MatSUI as an attempt to show that  
I am a wise and strong investment.  forgive the acceptance speech…

Don’t hesitate to give questions comments or bug reports to this  
address.

a note to beta testers:
I kind of feel like I pulled the rug out from under beta-testing.  
but I’m confident that I’ve fixed all reported bugs. so…   THANK  
YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!   OBVIOUSLY PLEASE DON’T DONATE. the beta  
testers rocked. let’s see how it goes.

For those of you in Québec …

We are presenting a free workshop on spatial audio and spatial hearing tomorow
in Québec City (french only!). The workshop includes live interactive
demonstration of Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) that we have been implemented with
MAX/MSP (with a single G5!) (in the very few past days!) using a compact
16-channel loudspeaker array. (See my DIY column in the current MusicWorks
(93).) Other demonstrations include “beam-forming” so that sound events behind
the audience are created with a compact frontal disposition of loudspeakers (no
loudspeaker behind) while firing acoustical beam on room surfaces.

The MAX/MSP patches are the first version of our WFS free patches. The second
version (cleaner, with a GUI) should be compiled and distributed in 2006.
Freely, of course!

Hi everyone,
At last, adding/editing/deleting of libraries is back on the site  
http://www.maxobjects.com
Sorry for having being so late…

If you are registered, you can add objects from a library at once  
using a 3 fields ASCII tabbed text file. Please follow the  
instructions on the dedicated pages (“ASCII tabbed text file” as a  
link).

You also can add objects to an existing library using a same formated  
ASCII tabbed text file. However, only the person who added something  
can edit or delete it.

The possibility to add comments on objects is also available since  
late october.

Mathieu and myself are still open to suggestions and feedbacks.

Ninh
