Oopsy: Daisy from gen~ in Max/MSP

I've really been looking forward to announcing this! Oopsy is a way to embed the precise flexibility of Max/MSP's gen~, from microtemporal scheduling to single-sample feedback loops, into the hands-on flexibility and performative happy accidents of modular analog and digital hardware, using Daisy-enabled devices.

Background: I got excited about Daisy hardware when I heard about the kickstarter, and backed it immediately, as I'm really fascinated by the possibility of putting the capacities of digital signal processing and control in gen~ (from microtemporal scheduling to single-sample feedback loops), into the midst of modular analog and digital hardware, with its hands-on flexibility and performative happy accidents. The folks at Electrosmith kindly sent me some other Daisy hardware, and in spare moments over the past months I put together this Oopsy package to streamline the mapping of gen~ to the Daisy hardware. It's now open sourced on the ElectoSmith Github, and I'll be continuing to add more features, hardware support (e.g. Noise Engineering's Versio), examples, and posting videos here.

What is gen~? An open-ended domain of audio-processing inside of Max/MSP, which regenerates its optimized machine code with every edit you make, allowing a variety of things that are difficult or impossible to patch normally, like sample accurate granular scheduling and single sample feedback for complex filters. Also the code can be exported as C++ for use outside of Max for embedded devices etc. Also gen~ was kind of my PhD thesis :-)

What is Daisy? A fantastic kickstarted DSP platform that runs in Eurorack, guitarpedals, synths, etc.-- with a few commercial users already like Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio, the QuBit Surface & Data Bender, etc.

What does Oopsy do? It snoops your Max patch, exports and snoops and the C++ code of each gen~ it finds, and wraps that up in a bundle of code to make it work with the Daisy with some nifty mappings. So, every time you hit Ctrl-S to save, it can rebuild & upload to your Daisy hardware.

Like, subscribe, etc. etc. to hear more about it :-)
