Cycles Volume 3 description:

The MAX CYCLES VOLUME 3 Incidental Gesture Sample CD. Active sonic textures and melodic meanderings that provide movement, emotion and narrative expression, perfect for use in film, DV and multimedia.

MAX CYCLES VOLUME 3 Incidental Gesture is part of a 4-volume series, created by sound designer Ron MacLeod. A series of 'inspirational' sonic collections, utilizing the innovative processing tools from Cycling '74 -- Max/MSP, Pluggo and Radial. Each Cycles release contains two discs: a DVD-ROM containing 24-bit .wav files and a standard audio CD for an easy auditioning alternative. The samples are supplied as 48kHz for use in film, DV, and multimedia productions and 44.1kHz version for compatibility with music production tools. Files are seamlessly looped end to end. Incidental Gesture gives you active sonic textures and melodic meanderings that provide movement, emotion and narrative expression to your compositions or media projects. Composed to integrate easily into existing pieces yet intricate enough to stand on their own as incidental beds. These long (30 sec. to 3 minute) files were designed around direct use in digital workstations yet are all seamlessly looped end to end for extended play as well.
