does max/msp support rewire?

I don't think it does....

Does it?

How do you ableton and max together?

Thoughts, ideas?

I know I've rewired max apps into ableton before..

I just can't stand rewiring anything really, kinda weird that way I suppose.

I don't own max yet...

my demo just died... but I'm seriously considering it.

But it doesn't do Prop heads style, rewire? I was not able to find it in the tutorials.

I'm looking for more power, I think I want max...

but it is a scary thing to buy

theres an app called mlr for the monome, there are quite a few different versions of mlr but one in particular has 16 (i think it was 16.. maybe less) outputs that can each be rewired to different channels in ableton.

I'm also quite certain you can route standard midi to all sorts of places in max.

but it's not going to be easy, you're aware of that right?

hi j2j,

max definitely does rewire.

it does support rewire, but my initial (and quite limited) tests showed some instability and crashes, so i went the soundflower route and t worked like a charm for routing audio back and forth between live and max.

The Cycling guys are pretty anal about this stuff. Chances are, If you report the crash and can reproduce it, the fix will be in Max 5.0.6.

Yeah...and I've found rewiring the two to be pretty stable, fwiw.

That looks awesome, thank you so much.

Yep, the Propellerheads tech is pretty tightly coded, AFAIK....

Anyways, off to read the cycling links.....
Thanks guys.

it does.

it seems like you'd be more interested in downloading the plug-in packs thou, Hipno and Pluggo which are just all VSTs.

No I'm not. I don't know where you gathered that. I'm interested in doing sequencing, and all sorts of trippy filtering, and really wacked out things that you couldn't achieve on a vst.

I don't code at all, so the 30 day demo, and tutorials is a really short time for me. I just wanted to make sure max does rewire. I've been thinking about it, for the studio and all.

I have my vst's... I was looking for something with a little more kick. I'm not all that interested in Pluggo, or Hippno....

Cheers Mate...

pluggo can offer all of these things. it's essentially a large set of really good max patches. nothing should be too scary about max programing though. it is by far one of the easiest program environments out there. there is a ton of support and the documentation that really teaches you everything about synthesis, signal processing, and programing.
