Hipno is collection of over 40 audio plug-ins that is hard to categorize. The individual effects feature granular techniques, spectral manipulations, filters, delays and wild hybrids in between. Additionally it features a truly unique control interface called the Hipnoscope and XML import/export of presets. I worked with Electrotap to develop Hipno and Cycling'74 is handling the distribution and sales of this product. Visit their website to find out more.

Granular Toolkit

1.49 macUB [dmg - 408 k] 1.10 CFM [stuffit - 208 k] 1.49 winXP [zip - 500 k]

Last updated: 19 March 2007. This set of externals and abstractions developed using several granular synthesis concepts. Effects available in this download include pitch shifting, spatializing, "clouds", chord production and looping. My paper about this software that was presented at the SEAMUS 2002 National Conference is now available in the research section of this site. Available for Max/MSP 4.x. Thanks to Tim Place for the windows port of the externals.

FFTexternals v0.2

osX [stuffit - 16 k] winXP [zip - 32 k] os9 [stuffit - 16 k]

Last updated: 24 March 2006. A small collection of externals used for various spectral processing. Includes objects for computing amplitude in decibels and a few complex math functions. Available for Max/MSP 4.x. Thanks to f.e chanfrault for the windows port.

gverb~ object

v0.5 UB [dmg - 65 k] v0.3 CFM [stuffit - 8 k] v0.3 winXP [zip - 8 k] v0.2 os9 [stuffit - 8 k]

Last updated: 29 November 2006. This object implements the same reverb algorithm found in my Griesinger VST plug-in below. It is a pretty good stereo reverb at a low CPU load. It currently allows the user to change the decay time and not much else. More parameters (like those in the plug-in) will be available in future versions. Available for Max/MSP 4.x. Thanks to f.e chanfrault for the windows port.

cpPan~ object

osX [stuffit - 4 k] winXP [zip - 32 k] os9[stuffit - 4 k]

Last updated: 24 March 2006. This object implements a constant power panning formula and applies it to any input signal. Panning info can be sent as audio or control data. Uses a lookup table, so it is very efficient. Also included in the granular toolkit.

patchname object

os9 [stuffit - 4 k]

Last updated: 2 October 2002. A simple object that reports the name of the patch in which it is contained. It's handy for getting information about a patch when working with certain included objects, like using "filedate" to find out when a patch was last updated. Available for Max/MSP 4.x on OS 9 only. This object will not be updated to OS X because the method it uses appears to be broken in OS X.

tilt object

os9 [stuffit - 24 k]

Last updated: 06 May 2001. This max object implements an algorithm that is used to monitor changes in vehicle tilt for car alarms. It can be used to monitor changes in a floating point values and sends an alarm ("bang") when those values exceed the alarm parameters. A flow chart showing how the algorithm works is incuded in the help file. Available for Max/MSP 4.x on OS 9 only.

vst carbon [stuffit - 20 k] vst classic [stuffit - 20 k]

Last updated: 6 January 2003. Implements seven bandpass filters that are spaced in octaves. Now available in vst classic and vst carbonized versions for use in OS 9 and OS X respectively.

Bass&TrebleBoost

vst carbon [stuffit - 20 k] vst classic [stuffit - 20 k]

Last updated: 6 January 2003. Two shelving filters enables boosting of the bass and/or treble of an audio input. Now available in vst classic and vst carbonized versions for use in OS 9 and OS X respectively.

ModDelayLine

vst classic [stuffit - 20 k]

Last updated: 12 May 2001. A modulating delay line that uses all-pass interpolation on its output. For use as the basis of several common effects.

PoleZeroFilter

vst carbon [stuffit - 20 k] vst classic [stuffit - 20 k]

Last updated: 6 January 2003. Position a pole pair and zero pair to manipulate a filter through its z-plane components. Now available in vst classic and vst carbonized versions for use in OS 9 and OS X respectively.
