Max/MSP: AU object for using audio unit plug-ins

From Michael Norris software: a beta version of a Max/MSP object that lets you use installed AudioUnits audio plug-ins [ Mac ]. If you've got a fair number of plug-ins this can be really useful, similar in spirit to some of the prior Vst~ objects.

Visualizing sound with an Arduino [ from MAKE ]

Nick Lally has a nice post about visualizing sound on an Arduino. He uploaded the Processing and Arduino code so you can try it out yourself. This looks like a good place to start learning about the Minim library and Processing.

I modified another old Processing program of mine to graphically react to sound using the Minim library. The program outputs the sound level to an Arduino connected to a breadboard, creating a sound level meter using LEDs. The code is a bit sloppy (and uncommented!) as I quickly tried to prototype these ideas.

Demonstration of eyeSequencer

This video demonstration by Patrick in Karlsruhe of eyeSequencer is based on the imagery of people's eyes used as a generative source. The video analysis is done in Processing and Open Sound Control (OSC) messages are generated and sent to SuperCollider and Ableton Live.
