Hi all,
I have a question/suggestion. I’m a new music composer, very interested on the use of the space as a musical parameter. I work in Max MSP since few years. I’m very interested in spat~, I’ve used it and I think it’s (as you may already know) an excellent and effective tool for composing, creating, expressing, researching, music and music art in general.
The one negative part of the program I found is the licensing. My pieces, when done, come with a score and a max patch in a “standalone application” version (by using this version I don’t force musicians to purchase Max for just performing my piece). Inside the max patch I want to use spat, but I know that the person who’s interested in performing the piece must have a spat license to make my patches work, I know it because when I want to run my standalone app in a computer that is not mine, it won’t launch until I enter the access key from IRCAM.
I found this inadequate and I believe there should be a solution to this problem, there should be a way of getting pieces performed when the owner of the license is not present anywhere where the piece will be played.
Would IRCAM or the spat developers open to create a solution to this problem? (like the Max developers did).
Comments?, ideas?
Thanks very much for your time.
