Oh and if you want to know firsthand "how good Max's synths" are (whatever that means)... By "how good are Max's synths", I mean "how good are Max's synths". As in "How good are they". Get it? The reason the question doesn't make sense is that Max doesn't &qu...

Oh? Is my nomenclature off here? I meant a new section linked from the "Forum Index" page.

Oh and if you want to know firsthand "how good Max's synths" are (whatever that means), download the Max 5 demo, go to Extras->ExamplesOverview, then click on the pane that says "X.FM~".

Those are the people who will be using the devices that the roll-your-own crowd create.

academic is for teachers, students, private teachers....and such.


educational is like if i'm berklee college of music and want 50 copies for a lab.
Hmm, could have sworn all my student copies had an "EDU" on the box. I know the EDU upgrade to 4 was cheap as shit.

Re: So how good are Max/Masp synths anyways?

Of course they are. M4L is Max. For Live. :) jb Yeah from what jeremy has said it seems all discussion of "how much Max is in MFL" is moot. It IS Max, just not standalone. Yes, but will it support 3rd party objects and libraries? I hope so, because some of my favorite objects aren't nativ...

Yeah now that I've rolled it around I can't see them making M4L a free runtime because in the end, whether you're interested in patching or not, it's an added functionality. Of course if you buy it and you're not patching I think you've kind of missed the point.

And one more: "Think of it this way. Max for Live is a) a full install of Max + b) a full install of Live + c) the "bridge" code so that a) knows how to talk to b). You will always need Live for this to work (Max for Live is a _Live_ addon). You don't need to own MaxMSP to use/edit in...
