John,

If it's mainly 'realtime fx' you want, try Audiomulch at www.audiomulch.com. That said, anything that hosts VST plugins should do (I think that rules out SC and Csound).

Around a year ago I was looking into PD, MAX/MSP, Supercollider, CSound, DSP in general etc. after playing with modular synths and synths w/ large modulation matrixes for a couple years.  Kind of dropped all that and picked the guitar back up for a while.  Thinking about getting back in to it but primarily from the perspective of realtime audio effects – reverb, phasing, distortion, ring modulation, vocoding, gating, and 100 different things I’m sure you can think of (as opposed to creating a completely virtual instrument).

 

How does PD stack up against MSP in that regard?  Is there something else I should be looking at?  Another thought is picking up a Nord Micro Modular but that wouldn’t necessarily preclude the PD/MSP route.

 

Thanks!
