This software is an endless drone synthesizer that allows for variable waveforms, dynamic low-pass filtering, microtonal tuning, and a random parameter generator. It is designed for creating a range of polyphonic soundscapes.
Max/MSP Collective is a cross-platform software application designed to provide digital signal processing tools within the Max/MSP Runtime application. To begin using a Max/MSP Collective, users must first start the Max/MSP Runtime application and then open the desired Collective (.mxf) file from the File menu.
One of the highlighted features of the software is the Master Audio Controls, which serves as the main audio control interface. Users can toggle audio processing on and off by pressing the space bar, and a circle next to "on" indicates that audio processing is inactive, while a plus symbol indicates that it is active. Additionally, the interface includes drop-down menus for selecting audio drivers and input and output vector sizes, as well as sliders that can be adjusted to set the master output levels.
For more advanced audio controls, users can access the "dsp" drop-down in the upper-right corner of the Master Audio Controls interface to open a window with additional options.
Another feature of the software is the Drone Parameter Control interface, which is used to configure global drone parameters. The left keyboard can be used to set the pitch class of all drone voices, and users can randomize all parameters of all drones by clicking the "randomize" label. The "read" and "write" drop-down menus can also be used to load or store in a file with all drone voice settings.
Lastly, the Drone Synthesizer Voice interface allows users to configure each drone voice with various audio settings. Users can select a waveform type and gain setting, and the dynamic low-pass filter's minimum and maximum frequencies are determined by min and max scalars applied to the frequency of the voice pitch. The "dur" parameter configures the time over which the filter moves over the minimum and maximum frequencies.
Overall, Max/MSP Collective is an impressive software application for audio professionals looking to produce high-quality audio processing and signal manipulation. Its intuitive interface and exhaustive array of audio tools make it a highly recommended software in the audio processing genre.
