Virtual Instruments

Thanks to RNBO and Max/MSP, it is possible to bring a significant part of patches developed in this environment to web platforms or mobile applications, greatly enhancing accessibility and interaction. While not all Max/MSP objects are available in RNBO, this technology enables sound processing and synthesis to exist in a more flexible environment, opening up new possibilities for experimentation and participation.

My virtual instruments created with RNBO serve different purposes. In some cases, they are used for educational applications, allowing students and musicians to explore synthesis and sound processing without the need for specialized software. In other cases, these instruments function as interactive tools in live performances, enabling performers and audiences to actively participate through their mobile devices, creating an immersive experience and expanding the traditional boundaries of musical performance.

Below is a video presenting a virtual instrument as used in a live performance. The accompanying buttons grant access to two distinct examples of the same instrument, each illustrating a different approach to interaction and functionality.
