Then I guess what midi support each has got woud be a large factor, if you want to integrate it with live. Writing's easier than joining those silly little wires, imho. I mean, ChucK's come along way, supercollider server is stable and has been for some time.

Like someone said, you could also check out supercollider, and csound. I believe that reaktor could consume a whole heap of your time to learn it (if you want to build your own instruments etc), id suggest you put that time towards mastering maxmsp - maybe you'l decide you want to build your own custom controllers or interactive media art thingggs. definatly worth the 70 dollars its going for at the moment and its also great for mangling sound without much effort (compared to max). alas, NI do suck as a company tho.Īnyways, I'm just starting too - and i'm only putting serious book time into maxmsp - and csound when that book arrives (thanks computo for the book title.)īidule is real snappy to use to process midi before it gets to live. Has an analogue sound to it, plus theres a tonne of instruments available for it - which you could dissect and tear apart - to see how it works. like a similar color of sound for everything. it all seems to be cut from the same fabric, if you know what I mean. I've listened to most of the music people are posting over at plogues forum.

Well, you'll get results faster with plogue bidule.but if you're up for it, you should definatly go for MAXmsp.
