Scheduling Musical Events in Max/MSP with Scheme For Max
summary
Scheme for Max embeds s7 Scheme inside Max/MSP (and Pure Data) to run live code that schedules musical events. It implements a closure-based scheduler that registers closures in a C hash table and fires them via the Max clock, letting functions reschedule themselves precisely. Demo shows a 25-line sequencer that randomly walks a pentatonic scale, supports on-the-fly redefinition of run_step, immediate vs. delayed capture of parameters, and works reliably for live coding and sequencer building.
