- Alas, I think the stand-alone program will not be seen

Hello,
I was very excited to try out this program, but looks as if I will to cobble one together on my own. Has this been an issue with other D.I.Y. articles with code or downloads mentioned in the paper article not being available?Posted by schmeckpeper on November 19, 2005 at 10:07:52 Pacific Time
- Standalone coming -- Here's the patch itself
You must be logged in to reply.
To everyone, I'm very, very sorry this is still not up. I've been facing some odd technical difficulties which I hope to resolve in the next day or two. This is my fault, not Make's. The standalone is working fine for me on Mac, but not on Windows.
In the meantime, here's the patch on which the standalone is based. It can be used in the Max/MSP + Jitter demo for up to 30 days. Honestly, I recommend that course, as you may find you want to adjust the patch for your own use. Over the coming months, I will continue experimenting with generalized patches, but for now, I think you'll like the ability to edit it.
For those who just want to see what this is about without having to follow the instructions for downloading the Max demo, I do hope to have those standalone apps very soon. If you're subscribed to this trackback, you'll receive notification.
Let me know how the patch works for you (full instructions and my contact info inside):

Hello,
I excitedly checked this page to download the stand-alone app that Mr. Kirn mentioned in the article (supposedly including download, instructions and hack details), but I am unable to find it here! Any hints on where to look?Posted by schmeckpeper on November 01, 2005 at 21:07:08 Pacific Time

That's coming very soon -- sending along an improved version that takes advantage of Jitter 1.5. Testing and uploading this week.

Hi I was just wondering if the stand alone has been finished yet?
