MultiControl v.04

Posted on | February 25, 2008 | 8 Comments

It has taken a while, but I finally found some time to update my MultiControl application. This was a small program I made back in 2004, and have updated a couple of times since then (that’s why the patching code looks so horrible, please don’t look at that…).

Originally, I made it for a series of workshops with kids, but I have also used it in a few concerts. Inspired by some blog comments and e-mails, I am happy to announce version 0.4 (6.9 MB). The main changes are:

  • It handles 20 inputs (I will make this dynamic at some point, but then I will need to repatch the whole thing)
  • Saving/reading of preset files should now work properly (again)

Thanks for your patience, and please let me know if you have any problems.

    Alexander, your work in Multicontrol is much appreciated! I was about to mail you about the saving problem (I began using the software today and I had 0.3) and it’s awesome to see that you had it fixed.

    I study at UFRJ – it’s the largest music university in Brazil. I am beginning to take Musical Technology classes and Multicontrol was a terrific introduction to Max.

    I will probably use Multicontrol on stage as soon as I can. It will work wonders!

    Thank you again! Compliments from Brazil!
