Multitouch Rotary Dial and X-Y Granular Exploration
November 6, 2009 – 6:57 pm by John KestonWith help from Josh Clos I have shot a short video documenting what my latest MaxMSP project does.
It’s a sort of swiss army knife of wavetable glitch machine and sample scrubbing tools. Hopefully the video will shed some light on what this project is about. I’ve been trying to describe it in a few other posts without much success, but seeing it in action seems to make a bit more sense.
The next step invovles integrating this tool into the Five Output Atemporal Looper i describe in my last entry.
For more information check out some of the related posts including Physically Modeling Multitouch Controls, Traversing Samples with Granular Synthesis, and TouchOSC Controlled Glitch Looper in MaxMSP.

John, this is great stuff that you are doing with Max/Msp and TouchOSC.
If you are willing to share, I’d love to see more info on how you get that scrubbing to work so flawlessly.
I’ve been looking forward to seeing your new patches each week. Thanks.

Very cool John!

Hey Max. Thanks for the note. At some point I’ll try and make a quick abstraction that only includes the scrubbing feature and include it with a new entry here.

John…. this is awesome. It looks like you’ve been putting in some SERIOUS work!

woah, this looks sweet! I’d never heard of TouchOSC (or MaxMSP, for that matter) before, and both look really cool.

Hi John, I’ve been reading your blog for some time now and find it really fascinating and inspiring. I had a look today to see if you had any tutorials about creating ‘wind sfx’ but saw none so I created my own puredata patch and wanted to share it with you. the link is

Hey, great stuff! I was just wondering how you managed to implement the JavaScript to control the wheel friction. Where is the JavaScript held?
