Blogg Post #1 - Introduction, Max Msp and Spatial Transient Tracker 2.0

Hello, my name is Joachim Goba. I am a musician based in Berlin. Working towards my first Public event which will be held the 7.jun 2024, i wish to document some of my artistic work and path towards this date. Currently, I'm deeply exploring Max MSP as my preferred tool for experimentation for its versatility and potential for creating complete new.

At the start of 2024, my friend Mike and I developed a Max patch tailored for spatial audio, aiming to simplify the integration of sound materials into spatial audio systems. It took considerable experimentation to refine the patch into a functional and practical tool. Only now, months later, as I work on a musical piece for the Spatial Sound Festival, do I fully appreciate its utility. Consequently, I've decided to embark on a version 2 of the patch.

Having a novice understanding of Max it can be hard to know where to start patching whatever you are trying to create. Luckily we live in the age where almost all information is accessible trough the internet which is wonderful. Max Msp has a great community, in my opinion one of the most helpful communities that i have come across over the internet, seeing many people taking the effort of making patches that can explain whatever people is wondering of on forum, also offering diffrent sollution.

Inspired by a tutorial from ersatz_ben on shaping transients of incoming audio, I've successfully integrated this feature into the transient tracker of the patch. Before releasing it to the Max community, I aim to enhance it further with additional features. One such feature is the ability to select distinct routing patterns for the sounds, a concept I have been working on since the initial release.
