back on the Max jag again - I am building & re-building a small set of patchers to help me create music/soundtracks for some performance works I've been asked to help out with.
One of these - basically a sample-player which uses soundfile markers to determine playback - has been around since 2006 in various forms. I even wrote a helper app for it using Libsndfile, before Patrick Delges' sfmarkers-v0-4-1 object was around (or before I became aware of it's existence).
I think I just rewrote it for the seventh time - it's definately acting in a more consistent manner now. AIFF only - there just seem to be endless uncommon & weird problems getting markers out of WAV files. I also created an M4L version, which was instructive in the problems that embedding in an Ableton project solves (memorising specific setting per-instance of the patch) - and also the extra problems it brings up (access to presets & automation).
The need to move this patch/instrument between a few different Macs sent me off to finally look at version control for Max.
more on this in a minute...
