A modular kit providing high-level sound generation, processing and performance tools for students of Music 264 at Harvard University.
The best way to install 264 Tools and make sure you always have the latest version, is to use Nathanaël Lécaudé’s Max Package Downloader:
-
Download and uncompress this ZIP file to your Max Packages directory. You can find this under
~/Documents/Max/Packages
for Max 6 or~/Documents/Max 7/Packages
for Max 7. If you use both Max 6 and 7, install it for both. -
Open (or restart) Max.
Once you have Max Package Downloader installed you can install or update 264 Tools by following these steps:
-
In Max’s ‘Extras’ menu, select ‘Package Downloader’.
-
Select ‘264 Tools’ from the Package Downloader’s drop-down menu.
-
The information displayed will let you know the latest available version — ‘Remote version’ — as well as the version you have installed — ‘Local version’.
-
Click ‘Download’, to install/update 264 Tools.
Alternatively, download the latest release directly to your Max packages folder and repeat to update manually.
The toolkit currently includes the following modules:
264.delay~
— a single, flexible delay line, for use in abpatcher
264.sfplay~
— a simple sound file player, for use in abpatcher
These modules have been tested with Max 6 and 7. They will not work with Max/MSP 5 or lower. Please report bugs under the issues tab above.
