Hey,
Sorry, just want to praise Jitter a bit. Tried the demo today. Great
stuff! Everyone who haven't tried it yet, go to www.cycling74.com and
download it. Try it. Then hand over that rectangular piece of plastic
you keep in your pocket.
Great list. Thanks for a lot of good info!
PS. Jitter is the video add-on-part of MaxMSP.
Yours cincerely,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
