This is exactly what I was wondering about...

This is exactly what I've been working with in jitter! Controlling triggering sounds with the
amount of color coming in from a live video feed. I briefly was experimenting with MAX/
msp/jitter and a Serge but my access to the Serge was somewhat limited. I can't help but
get goosebumps thinking about electronically interactive environments. MAX/msp/jitter is
made for sensors, motion detectors, etc. One of the reasons I'm thinking of getting a
Doepfer is because of its ease of use with MIDI.

I'm confused about how it would work to use audio outs....What would the drawbacks or
differences in using an audio out from MAX/msp to voltage control a Doepfer module
What sort of things might be frustrating and what things would be totally possible Would
a trigger just have to be a quick change in current Could you just use an low oscillator in
MAX as an lfo It's just difficult to imagine it being that easy..Would you just try to mimick
whatever sounds the Doepfer modules made with your msp patch
