Just downloaded a demo of Max - seems like an awful lot of useful little things could be written with it...

like: MIDI filters - relative MIDI cc implementation -- stuff... anyone had a peek - ModulR?

Max is the schweeet! but I've decided to start playing with pd... written by the same guy who started max, but it's open source and free. It's a little rougher around the edges.. but more than enough to give you the feel of working in that kinda environment. It's like visual based coding.

check it out... http://puredata.info/
ModuLR / Radio

what grabbed me about Max (don't know if pd is similar here) was its midi support and its ability to render patches as vsts. I thought I might be able to make like a little console-like app to alter incoming controller data to allow the use of a relative controlller like doepfer pocket dial. Also I thought some MIDI vsts (can vsts output midi?) to do MIDI compression, scaling, humanizing, echo etc. would be a good thing.

for audio here's another worth a look

osw.sourceforge.net

Max has been my main axe for 10 years. I've mostly used audio vsts built in Max with Tracktion, but you could certainly work with MIDI alone.

Max may be the polar opposite of Tracktion--out of the box it does nothing and there's a steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it you can do practically anything you can imagine. I know people who use it for realtime video processing, to control robots, to control theatrical lighting systems, to log data from weather stations, to conduct psychological experiments...oh and to make music. :)
