So i’ve made a new thing. And you can use it right now.
It’s a stochastic drum machine called Orbits that I built with RNBO (the new extension of MaxMSP).
The plan was to just see if I could get a MaxMSP patch working as a standalone web page. The documentation for RNBO offers an easy way to upload your patch and have a template version of it with some HTML sliders and stuff but it’s not very user friendly or interesting looking. Not to mention you still need to get it hosted. So it’s a bit of a learning curve to get from the default template version to a webpage with a musical instrument that people can actually use.
I’d not done much web development before and this is a new technology i’m really excited about so I thought it was time to knuckle down and just learn to do this properly.
I finished this a little while ago, i’m a bit of a nervous sharer of my work I guess. Since then I’ve been working on the Full Stack Open web development course to learn the MERN stack. I’m now planning some upgrades to allow networked collaboration and sharing of patches.
