John Richards - Dirty Electronics

Since 2003, John Richards has been exploring the idea of ‘Dirty Electronics’ that focuses on face-to-face shared experiences, ritual, gesture, touch and social interaction. In Dirty Electronics process and performance are inseparably bound. The ‘performance’ begins on the workbench devising instruments and is extended onto the stage through playing and exploring these instruments.
John recently collaborated with graphic designer Adrian Shaughnessy to create a specially commissioned hand-held synth for Mute Records (the Mute Synth).

Max 6 gui control scripts

I updated a couple of old Max JSUI scripts to use the new mgraphics engine in Max6. This allows the JSUI object to draw much more quickly and to support transparent backgrounds.

ol.clickedlist.js

A JSUI javascript that displays a list of symbols. You can click on the symbol to select it. Then you can send a message to see which symbols are selected.

ol.pngknob.js

A JSUI javascript that loads a vertically-stiched knob strip image. The background colour of the knob can be set with an argument. There is also an optional readout.

WDL-OL - enhanced IPlug Framework

IPlug is a simple-to-use C++ framework for developing cross platform audio plugins and targeting multiple plugin APIs. Originally developed by Schwa/Cockos, IPlug has been enhanced by various contributors. I have just published my version which now targets VST2, VST3, AudioUnit and RTAS APIs. It can also produce standalone Windows/OSX audio/midi apps and apps for Apple's IOS devices, all from the same code.

IPlug has a permissive licence and and comprehensive GUI functionality via Cockos' LICE (lightweight image compositing engine).
