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.

After almost 6 weeks of not being updated, the maxlist archives are now being
updated again. I apologize personally for this lengthy period of time in which
the synthesisters.com lists were unavailable.

The lists are now being archived with hypermail again, but you should see this
only as a stop-gap measure while we continue finishing up the new web site,
which will feature a much nicer interface to the list archives (including a
*fast* search!).

(The archives, again, are located at http://www.synthesisters.com/hypermail/max-msp )

If you’re wondering why it took so long to get the archives back up, well, just
chalk it up to a combination of some internal server moves at cycling, new
mailing list management software and a lot on my plate.

Also, a bit earlier, Jeremy mentioned something about the list archives possibly
being scanned by a mail harvester as a possible reason for some viruses you may
have received. While this is certainly possible, I think what’s more likely is
that someone who is on the list and maintains a folder for their own archives of
such contracted a virus, and the virus went through the folder and picked out
names from list postings to propagate itself under the guise of. This is a very
common problem on large lists with lots of mail, and would not disappear even
with the complete removal of the email addresses from the public list archives.

cheers
