Linnstrument EDO Mode

[bfuhrman]

I've been meaning to post this sooner (it was actually finished in September), but have unfortunately been pretty insanely busy. Anyway, I've been wondering about using the Linnstrument for microtonal composing and performing, and after a deep dive into MIDI, NRPN's, and the less than well documented parts of MaxMSP, I've created a patch that lets you play in 2-24EDO on a full size Linnstrument using either a VST or ReWire device. Here's a demo video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpSwDGsDpW0

The Max patches can be found on my site - no applications though due to issues with Apple requiring developer signatures. http://benfuhrman.com/linnstrument-edo-mode/

Nice, is the max patch outputting midi or using internal sounds?

[bfuhrman]

It's sending MIDI through the [vst~] object to Falcon (although Pigments 2 also works really well). It would be pretty easy to adapt to internal sounds by replacing [vst~] with a [poly~] using the [mpeparse] objects and reordering where the pitch bend is located.

Thanks for the info, I'm guessing you are using PB to accomplish this, does PB slide from the Linstrument work as well?

[bfuhrman]

Exactly. PB is used to offset the pitch going out of Max to retune the MIDI note. As of now, slides are disabled on the Linnstrument, but that's something I'd like to add in the future.

Thanks, I will download it and have a look...

Looking good!! thanks for sharing; refreshing get-away from "normal" octave division.
