I'm glad I had the opportunity to develop the hb1Control software with Hornberg Research. hb1 is a nice midi breath controller with some cool features.
The hb1Control software provides you with full control over parameters, presets and preset combinations of the hb1. It also adds features that are not available if the hb1 is used without a computer. The software can be remote controlled with a web browser on (nearly) any device.

My parameter randomizer with probability distribution per parameter. I thought it might be useful for others, too.
Finally I did some updates to the Nocturn m4l device. It makes more sense when mappings are recalled with the Liveset.
A design update for Reminder m4l device to make it compatible with Max 7 UI.
I had some fun with the Digginsack Facebook Group where a given sample has to be used for a 2 minute beat which ends up in a voting.

On a search for things related to audio metadata extraction i came across MEAPsoft quite a long time ago. I didn't like the GUI and the way it was meant to be used but noticed there has to be some interessting code behind it. The intention was to reuse the open source code in Max someday but my knowledge of any text based programming languages was very limited at that time.
It was this summer that i took part in a 7-week C# course which finally gave me the needed insight into object oriented languages that i was missing to understand the code and to start this project.
It's hard to tell when a private software project is finished, in fact it's never. I decided to share this now because it reached a state where it has all main features of MEAPsoft and some more. In addition many bugs in the MEAPsoft source code have been fixed. And i really need a break from JAVA.
MEAP4Max is nothing to use, it's something to build upon. A tool for the Max community. Have fun.

I'm back with this instrument. Like in a previous device, I use Ableton Live's file database as a sample source but this time it's a sample player at the same time. My goal was to have a pretty complete set of controls of a simple sampler engine like playback direction, loop modes, pitch, filter, envelopes, panning, volume and a seemless communication with the database in the background.
The device makes it easy to take a trip through your soundfiles by just pressing Next or Prev (midimapable buttons btw) independent from your folder structure. What I like to do is combining multiple instances in a drumrack with something that generates midi notes and build little generative music maschines. Again not your average Max4Live device instead an innovative approach with well thought out Max patches.
I've learned so much while creating this about MSP (signal processing objects in Max), databases in general, handling dictionarys and databases in a C-external, porting everything over from Windows to xcode on Mac, make multiple instances of the same device talking with each other etc. It was a great jorney and it's not finished. I hope for some feedback and already have my own to-do list for this.

This max4live device uses javascript to access Live's file database to allow advanced filtering of files. For the results we create symbolic links to make them drag-n-dropable from Live's browser. All in all it is more a proof of concept than a really useful device. Strange that Ableton isn't implementing more browser features in view of the fact that all file meta data is stored in a sqlite database.
