My background is in mathematics and software engineering, including 10 years at Google. I'm now focused on pushing Max for Live beyond typical patch-based devices through optimized C++ externals.
My DSP code is developed in the open, combining and extending existing open-source implementations into a coherent library of high-performance audio tools. I then benchmark against multiple commercial plug-ins to achieve comparable analog character with lower resource usage.
You can read my code at https://github.com/apresta/max-studio-tools. I'll keep this updated as I release more devices. You're welcome to contribute to the codebase or reuse it in your own projects.
Thanks for reading, and please share any ideas or feedback!
