Expanded Modular Habitat

Here’s a clip of the new expanded Max/MSP modular patch. I’ve made quite a few changes to it as you can see. The biggest change is a more user-friendly routing functionality on the left, so I can improvise more freely with that aspect, without having to unlock the patch and delete/recreate patch chords etc.

Other changes I made were:

A random button to generate… random settings for some of the LFO parameters. It’s the small red button under each LFO preset.

Settings to modulate the LFO ramp settings, between linear and exponential curves.

Settings to modulate the shape of square and triangle waveforms.

The Image Capture section which I used to generate the images for the last couple of posts. Here, instead of the images capturing the waveform of the finished audio file, it captures the waveforms of the 5 LFOs. I also added some oscilloscopes to make the whole thing a bit more Pythagorean. They appear to me like different pulses, so it’s an electrocardiogram of sorts, tracing the inner modulations of the sounds.

And, in the end, I did add preset functionality too.
