Investigating Jade

January 18, 2004
Today I’ve been spending lots of time working on Jade by Tim Place. Jade is an attempt at solving one of the major difficulties in Max/MSP. Max lacks functionality for creating movement and changes in time. Jade is an arcitecture for embedding patches as modules and scripting progressions and changes in time.

So far Tim has develloped Jade to work mainly with mono and stereo audio signals. For the installation I’m doing in collaboration with Jana Winderen and Jørgen Træen we need to be able to use a quadrophonic setup. Today I’ve been tinkering with Tim’s code to be able to create 4 channel modules and now I’m about to start testing if it works as supposed to.
