Description

Mac OS only

A few days ago, some people commercially released devices based on Mutable Instruments modules, with relatively high prices. The problem is that the code of Mutable modules is open source, and the externals used in these m4l devices too. Even if there is some work behind it (and I'm sure there is), it's not very ethical, and far away from open-source philosophy.

Anyway, it was the occasion for me to learn a bit about poly~, and try a polyphonic version of Plaits !

It has 6 voices of polyphony, ADSR controls, and all the classical controls found in the Volker Böhm's external. I also added a crossfader to fade between OUT and AUX output, and a stereo control to adjust the panning of the 2 outputs at the same time.

And it is Push mapped.

And it is free !

*1.1 : fixed an issue with automation

*1.2 : oups, i previously wrote Attack in french (thanks @klingklangmatze)

*1.5 : UI / color improvement & M1 compatibility

All the hard work comes from :

- Émilie Gillet, creator of these modules

- Volker Böhm who mades theses externals -> (https://vboehm.net/2020/02/mutable-instruments-max-port/)

- cipp0 (https://maxforlive.com/profile/user/cipp0) for the pretty encoders -> (https://maxforlive.com/library/device/6402/nube-texture-synthesizer)

Let me know if there is any bug or thing to add :-)
