Overview

Name | Version: Sounds of the weather turning 1.1
Author: processor1
Device Type: Audio Effect
Description: A max4live audio effect that uses weather data (from the WAQI API) to adjust different effects like delay, reverb, echo and distortion. It uses the newly available ABL objects which are an extension of ableton effects and DSP components for MaxMSP.

Free API Key for the weather data: https://aqicn.org/api

Version Changes:

1.1:

- Made a modification to replace 'LFO' knob with a delay mix knob, ensuring a more safe dry/wet audio mix
- Set the LFO frequency to modify the delay time creating a more 'friendly' sound.


This patch was part of my Computational Art class at Aalto University, Finland.
