Live coding Max from the browser

gibberwocky.max package

gibberwocky is a set of environments for music programming and live-coding performance. The gibberwocky.max package provides live coding controlling Max/MSP/Jitter and Gen. Easily create looping sequences, transform patterns over time, and dynamically create Gen synthesizers and modulation graphs using a JavaScript client that runs in the browser.

The client is also available online at http://gibberwocky.cc/max/

Installing

For the latest stable release, search for "gibberwocky" in Max's package manager.

For the latest development build, download the package from the development repository and place into your Max Packages folder. (On Windows, My Documents/Max 7/Packages, on Mac, ~/Documents/Max 7/Packages), then restart Max.

Using

Once installed, simply create the object [gibberwocky] and then open the associated help file to get started.

Reference

http://gibberwocky.cc/reference/

Note that this is a reference for all three gibberwocky systems (gibberwocky.live, gibberwocky.max, and gibberwocky.midi); they share many objects in common in addition to having their own unique affordances.

Read the Cycling '74 article about gibberwocky.

More help

Outside of the Max help patcher, there are a bunch of included tutorials in the browser-interface to get you started using gibberwocky.

gibberwocky.max's Issues

no gibberwocky_tutorial_1-4 max patcher included

copy pasting from the c74 forum thread :
in the demos of the gibberwocky script editor, "tutorial 1 : basic messaging" it says :

* To start make sure you open the patch: 
* gibberwocky_tutorial_1-4

but there doesn't appear to be such a patcher inside the gibberwocky max package

[FR] Listen to external messages

It would be great to have gibberwocky listen to external midi/osc/max native messages. It could make it work as a very dynamic mapper / matrix for any control devices one might have.

Arp object crashes

Hello,

I keep gettingthe following error:
error with user submitted code: TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined

To replicate, please open "using the Arp object" help file. Run the following lines:

myarp = Arp( [0,2,4,5], 4, 'updown' )
devices['bass'].note.seq( myarp, 1/16 )

Then, change the myarp object and run the following lines:
myarp = Arp( [0,2,4,5], 2, 'updown' )
devices['bass'].note.seq( myarp, 1/16 )

You should get the error. I was just trying to decrease the number of octaves of the arpeggiator.

make vst~ etc. work as Device in same way as amxd~

note,midinote,velocity, and duration don't behave as expected with namespace objects

These messages should behave the same as they do with devices; that is, calls to velocity and duration should alter subsequent note and midinote messages. Currently all messages are just sent directly to Max and don't generate MIDI messages.

See this Slack thread for reference.

Question for @grrrwaaa : does anything need to happen internally to the gibberwocky Max object to make namespaces generate MIDI messages? I'm guessing it does...

update sequencing tutorial to better explain sequence ID numbers

Although briefly mentioned in the sequencing tutorial, there's no explanation of how the sequencing ID number can be used to stop / start / rotate / transform individual sequences.
