110.modular
Contents
System Requirement[edit]
110.modular has been built in and for Max/MSP 4.1 on Mac OS 9 around new year 2007/2008.
it requires the abstractions libraries 110-MAX and 110-MSP to run, but it uses (almost) no third party externals, to ensure best compatibility and easy maintainance.
third party externals currently used by some modules are:
- lorenz (mzed, not available for all platforms)
- mtof~ (percolate, only required for OS 9)
- scramble and sort, renamed to jmc.scramble and jmc.sort (jmc, only required for OS 9)
- atoi and itoa (only required for OS 9)
- granola~ (eric lyon, not available for all platforms)
- flame (if you know what this is, you already have it installed)
- In Mac OS 9 110.modular also requires the pak object (i.e. you must have jitter.)
- future modules might require mousetrack (you can find this under "quasi objects" in the various pluggo distributions.)
- on windows you will finally need quicktime in order to be able to open the (currently) .pct format pictures.
known bugs in Max 5: background pictures are off for 1/1 pixels, minor init error for waveform object. Max 6 is untested.
Data Types[edit]
when composing in 110.modular we work with the following symbolic types of data between the modules:
a step
...which is a single integer and is used as trigger containing its own index. steps are mainly used to represent position in time, relative position, or forms of relation to other steps.
the majority of modules, for example the sequencer gates, will just wrap input when it is outside their internal range, so that you may also send 17 or -5 into a 16-step sequencer gate.
a note
...which is regulary a float, but also may be an int if you are working with a chromatic scale only. it is representing a note number equal to the midi note specification. but unlike midi notes, you may also use numbers smaller than 0. or bigger than 127. in 110.modular. there is no "note on", "note off", "velocity" or "duration" value for a note, unless you add it yourself (probably in the final part of your composition/patch.)
a chord
...which is a list of notes.
start and stop
...which are two special messages sent from the master module only. the master module´s start command tells clocks in other modules to start running. the master module´s stop command stops other clocks across the runtime, and it also and resets a bunch of parameters in many other modules to their initial state (such as a counters, which are reset to 0 on stop.)
a stream of successive notes is called a melody, and a group of a given amount of successive notes is called a phrase. these two symbolic "data types" play a role in certain processes such as the "phr" modules.
of course there is also "modulation data" or "controller data" beeing used, mainly by GUI elements and "generators". it is regulary in the range of 0.-1., in some cases also "bipolar" from -1.-1.. theoretically it may be anything, of course.
the use of symbols, lists or quasi lists (such as "set 1 0.66") are avoided where possible, but there might be the one or other exception in the future.
