Thanks for the article here. It’s boosted my web-hits and my confidence in the white boxes I am making. Recently hit a wall in the transition to Max 6 (still don’t like it apart from the natty flowing connections!) and realised I MAY need to learn some programming.
If any one wishes to follow Whitebox on Facebook please do.

You’re very welcome. You have some great sounding devices definitely worth a feature. 🙂
Hi Madeleine,
I liked your Glass Synth so much I enjoyed seeing how you made it. It inspired me to make my first very simple Live Pack using Whitebox 8-Box and Ableton’s fab ambient delay FX.

Great. Was it made with Live 9 or 8?
Live 8, so it should be up-compatible. My 9 beta just ran out!
Guess who just got featured on the Ableton Blog?
