Ableson Two free Max for Live devices for quick and dirty sonification of time-series data in Ableton. GitHub
Deacon Deacon is a Max for Live concatenative synthesis audio generator that I use in lots of my works. It is implemented in using the MuBu toolbox and operates as an audio effect that generates new sounds in response to incoming sound (e.g. other performers). GitHub
MassiveSpectral This was a commission from a well-known music company to develop an interactive instrument that reimagines everyday samples in some unique way. It uses a sampling front end coupled with two stages of spectral convolution to create complex and evolving textures.
Andrson Andrson was a machine-listening powered app that connected A&R scouts with new independent music artists based on the acoustic similarity of their music recordings to those of more established acts.

RhythmCAT RhythmCAT is a VST software instrument for creating new loops intelligently using existing samples. By capturing a one or two bar target loop within your DAW, you can emulate the timbre and rhythmic pattern of that loop using any other samples of sounds you provide. GitHub · Video · Paper
EssentiaRT~ Real-time implementation of Essentia in Max/MSP and Pure Data developed by Martin Hermant, Ángel Faraldo and myself for Sónar Music Hackday in 2014. Project
Essentia During my time with the Music Technology Group at Barcelona I contributed to the Essentia project. Essentia is one of the most popular open-source library for audio and music analysis, description and synthesis, used by many projects and companies like Freesound, Waves, Arturia, Korg etc.
I added iOS support, additional FFT backends and the Bark Frequency Cepstral Coeffients algorithm as part of my research. GitHub · Site
GenDrum GenDrum is a Max for Live device that automatically generates drum patterns using Genetic Algorithms. It has a 16-step sequencer creates kick, snare, hat and clap sounds mainly using subtractive synthesis. GitHub
SimpleGA SimpleGA is a basic, general purpose genetic algorithm external object that was developed for Pure Data and Max/MSP environments. It can handle binary, numerical and alphanumerical strings. A target string is supplied for determining fitness based on a variation of Hamming distance between population member strings and the target strings. A bang message on the leftmost “hot” inlet causes the genetic algorithm to undergo a generational stage of evolution and outputs the fittest individual from the pool. The second outlet outputs the fitness of the individual. Finally, the last outlet reports a bang if the target fitness has been achieved. This target fitness defaults to 1.0 but a lower target can be optionally specified. GitHub
ReactAct The ReacTacT software system is a set of Max / MSP patches, externals and scripts for real-time algorithmic composition using the ReacTable. The ReacTable Tangible User Interface is an alternative controller for synthesizers that uses computer vision technology to track physical markers on a table surface. Using the open-source reacTIVision computer vision component provided by the ReacTable team, the TUIO protocol data it provides is used to manipulate a number of compositional algorithms. At present these algorithms consist of probability tables (i.e. Xenakis), grammatical evolution and a simple tone row generator to create serial music.GitHub
