Description

Simple device that allows you to download a random sample from the BBC Sound Effect database.

http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/

/!\ This device require the object node.script to run i.e. Max 8.0.0 or greater

Also the device wasn't tested on Mac

It was made for a school project, the goal was to create a tool that let you use random material as inspiration or constraint in the creative process.

The core of the device is in Javascript. I used Node for Max with the packages request and csv-parser to download the soundfile.

Have fun ;)

    Hello
    Very nice idea Mathieu.
    I had some code in order that it fit for a mac too.
    If you need, just ask me at [email protected], I will send you the patch.
