I have MUX and I love it. It's a great modular. Maybe the problem is one of marketing if there's no love for it. I wouldn't know as the only way I usually hear of things is either by word of mouth or just surfing the Internet.

Pricewise MAX ($249) need to do about 4 times as many things as MUX ($65)

GUI wise can other type style interfaces than this be built in MAX?

This is no match for MUX

I'd rather think it's a combination of the rocket science GUI, the approach itself (modulars are not for everyone, the most popular synthesis stays subtractive synthesis), and lack of marketing. All in all, i can't imagine it ever leaving the "insider tip" status.

Well, that's a shame because it's an excellent piece of software. You can get lost in it for days.

I think you can patch modules as you want to, have a look at the guide here:

@Numanoid
Max can do much more than Mux
but Mux is very nice and high level user friendly except it is windows only
Max can handle and manipulate audio, MIDI and graphics data
Max4Live can also take control of the Live API
allowing you to set it up for live use
or whatever functions you like
you can also go down into Max and code your own objects etc. in gen/java whatever

I love mux is on my wishlist
if I'm not mistaken you can not use oscillators as mod sources.

can anyone confirm this?

indeed, yes. MUX is an audio plugin; MAX is a visual programming language with native audio and video processing capabilities. You could build a functional DAW in it. or a video editor, or VJ application, or a web browser, or a videogame, or an architectural visualiation environment, yada yada.

Yes, unfortunately MUX doesn't allow audio outs to be used as modulation

thanks for the reply, we hope in a future update because mux is truly amazing

no mac version = no love

I do love (software) modular synths, Ive got Reaktor, Oscillot (M4L), Max with Beap... and then semi modulars from u-he like Zebra/Bazille/Ace...
what would Mux add? and how does it sound?
there seems little on the website about what modules it contains, how it differs from others...

( i know it can hosts vsts and front end them, but Im not really interested in that... Id tend to use Max if I need that)

oh well, I guess when/if a mac version arrives I'll take a look then.

I thought Bazille was Modular...

Perhpas semi-modular in the sense that all the modules are already in place ?

Bazille is semi modular but MAN...the sounds you can get out of that thing. The mod routings can be absolutely insane if you're so inclined.

No love for MUX Modular 7 ?
