Use RNBO in Max to export your patches as Max externals and audio plugins, building an audio recorder, controlling groove~ and buffer~, handling MIDI and exporting a VST3 effect for use in Ableton Live.

COURSE INCLUDES – 2 Lessons – 22 Topics – Course Certificate SUMMARY RNBO is an add-on for Max that allows you to take Max-like patches and export them as portable code. It can directly compile that code to targets like an Audio Plugin (i.e. VST/AU), a Max External, javascript (i.e for a web page) or a Raspberry Pi. RNBO’s goal is to give you the best of Max – rapid iteration, creative exploration – with the freedom to take the resulting work and use it outside of Max. This course will get your started using RNBO to create a plugin, a webpage or an external object.
