SuperCollider Project

This is an application I made for the final in my sound design class click the image below to watch an overly tired gradate student attempt to explain it.

SPDSX Chord Builder

This is an application I made in Max to control chords from the drumset when my band didn’t have a guitar player for a few rehearsals. It mainly functions with FM8, but it could be mapped to another synth plug-in.
