Composability for Musical Gesture Signal Processing using new OSC-based Object and Functional Programming Extensions to Max/MSP

Adrian Freed, John MacCallum, and Andrew Schmeder

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract:

An effective programming style for gesture signal processing is described using a new library that brings efficient run-time polymorphism, functional and instance-based object-oriented programming to Max/MSP. By introducing better support for generic programming and composability Max/MSP becomes a more productive environment for managing the growing scale and complexity of gesture sensing systems for musical instruments and interactive installations.
