Max!!!! damn man, i'm in the middle of doin the same kinda shit for my thesis work, i graduate in just a few short weeks, but i'm doing sample based productions and performing them in a live setting, i was using max last semester for it, but i'm past that, using max as a sampler when you already have a sampler that does what you need is overkill, so i'm just gonna rock 2 404's to perform with......by the way those vids were pretty tight, for the first one, did you use timecode records in conjunction with max for the turntable to control the user interface??
