Recreate my sine tone generator above, using coll.Much appreciation that his project is still being maintained. # Sean 'Sevish' Archibald's 'Trapped in a Cycle' JI scaleД¬ongrats, youвЂ™ve just replaced the mtof object with your very own, microtunable coll! Enjoy playing microtonal scales in Max/MSP.Д«ig up to Manuel Op de Coul, the creator of Scala, who added support for Max/MSP coll files on my request. # Tuning file for Max/MSP coll objects created by Scala txt file into coll, you can check that the data went in correctly by double-clicking the coll object. Use this to load the file you just exported from Scala. You can click the вЂњreadвЂќ button to bring up an open file dialog.

Connect this up to the coll object (as shown below). txt file is saved somewhere convenient, your can load it into your coll object.Д¬reate a message button which contains the word вЂњreadвЂќ. This will bring up a familiar save file dialog, and you can save your. Now click File в†’ Export synth tuning as shown below. Scala will say вЂњSynthesizer 135: Max/MSP coll data, via text fileвЂќ. Then type the following command into Scala: set synth 135 (For now weвЂ™ll just load a file from ScalaвЂ™s huge database) txt files that coll can read.ДЇirst create or load some tuning data into Scala.

For this tutorial, weвЂ™ll be using Scala tuning software to create. txt files, and there is a much better way to generate tuning data in this format. This is the lowest possible MIDI note number, and according to our data we should receive the float value 100.0 from collвЂ™s first outlet.ДЄ success! ItвЂ™s pretty simple to get it to work, but the only problem is that the tuning data took us a looooong time to typeвЂ¦ 128 lines in total! Luckily coll can read. To test this out, letвЂ™s send the number 0 to the coll. Kinda trippy if youвЂ™ve never heard this kind of scale before, so try it out).

#MAX MSP FREE SERIES#

(Interesting note: This scale is a harmonic series with a fundamental of 100Hz. # This is a simple scale which starts at 100 Hz on MIDI note 0. # Lines that start with a # symbol are comments. So we double click coll, and we start inputting data for what frequency corresponds to what MIDI note number. We want coll to spit out a frequency in Hz. We send a MIDI note number (0-127) to the coll object. First we need to understand our data structure. HereвЂ™s how we can use coll as a replacement for mtof. Mind you itвЂ™s not very useful for our goal of exploring crazy scales. HereвЂ™s whatвЂ™s inside the above coll object: OndesMartenot, 1928 To see and edit all the data inside the coll, just double-click on the coll object. I just clicked the вЂњYamahaDX7вЂќ button, so вЂњ1983вЂќ was sent via the first outlet of coll. For example, we could use coll to remember the release years for various killer synths.ДЄbove, the coll object is waiting to receive an index (either YamahaDX7 or Theremin) before it spits out the data we want. Each item of data contains an index followed by some content. We simply replace the mtof object with coll.Д¬oll can be used to store and edit collections of data. There is a very simple way to get microtonal scales out of your Max/MSP synths. Perfect if youвЂ™re working within the confines of 12-tone equal temperament-or rather limiting if you wish to use all kinds of expressive intonation systems outside of the Western common practice. This clever little object waits for you to send it a MIDI note number (0-127), then it spits out a frequency (Hz).

Those of you who have built synths in Max/MSP or Max 4 Live will have used the mtof (MIDI-to-frequency) object.
