installing Max for Live

[deeplfo]

I think it's the end result that counts.  Live already has some midi devices that does something similar, but again I think they are all just tools really.  The communication is in the final product.

Kind of funny, this dovetails with the Pat Metheny thread a little :-)

Great!  Now all I have to do is make a random note generator and I don't
even need to bother to show up!  Better yet, I'll put together a power trio
of three laptops each with a random note generator running through this
quantizer.  Now if I could only make an audience plugin then we could just
send our laptops to the show and not be bothered at all.  

I'm increasingly distressed how automation has replaced communication under
the guise of the democratization of art.  I mean really, a scale is 5 notes
at best, typically 8, and 12 at worst (in the most of the world at least).
Is this really so difficult?  Am I the only crusty one here he sees this as
so much paint by numbers?
