this is small growing externals set for max msp jitter by cycling74.
ranges from utility objects to some 3d synthetic motion physics sonic
undulation
install notes:
- move the folder 'a-objects 0x10 ub'
somewhere max knows of
(under options menu, select file
preferences)
- copy 'a-objects 0x10 overview.pat' to
max/patches/extras
modifications:
update 20110722: src is now available @http://github.com/s373, license for my max objects collections is since now G P L v3 ( http://gplv3.fsf.org/ )
the a-objects are licensed under gnu-lglp. a previous version used the
creative commons license, but somehow the previous lgpl use suits fine
from now on.
the a-objects have moved from sier.risco.pt/code/a-objects to
s373.net/code/a-objects
