For the past two years I've been programming in Max. I first became acquainted with Max in the late nineties through the work of Bob Ostertag. At the time I couldn't think of anything I would want to do with it.
However, as my writing progressed I became dissatisfied with making tracks in conventional DAW software, and also really wanted an electronic music system that could be played live. I worked extensively with the Yamaha RM1x. I loved the hardware interface, but the unit, amazing as it is, wasn't flexible enough. I tried Live, but it just didn't grab me, and I didn't want to be hunched over a laptop in performance. It was time to learn Max.
