News

2012-08 - A new version of Maestro Frankenstein is in the works and will be released soon! It is a complete re-write with a much better GUI, better performance, and hopefully far fewer bugs. Version 2 may not have all the features of version 1 when first released, but i hope to add all the reasonable one back as I go.

2012-07 - Still Working on perfecting a looping system in Max/MSP for solo performance that allows me to record loops and arrange on the fly to create distinct sections and different textures.
