Introducing RNBO

RNBO is a new patching environment built to export software with the sound of Max.

Create web experiences, hardware music devices, audio plugins, and new Max objects all from the same patch. And when that’s not enough, RNBO generates source code that you can use however you want.

Tom Hall explains how RNBO took his patching to new places in the teaser videos

One Patch, Many Targets

RNBO is a new patching environment built to export software with the sound of Max.

A single RNBO patch can export compiled code that runs in several defined target contexts, and source code you can integrate into any C++ or Web Audio project.

Build guitar pedals, Eurorack modules and much more with Raspberry Pi export

Run your patch in any DAW as a VST3 or AudioUnit Plugin

Compile your own self-contained, shareable Max object

Increase performance and loading times of your Max for Live devices

Embed your RNBO sound engine into a website using Web Export

Generate easy-to-integrate C++ source code

Hear the Code While You Patch

The sound you hear while patching in RNBO is generated and compiled code that updates as you make changes. This running code is identical to the code you export, so your work will sound the same no matter which target you choose.

Inspired by What You Love in Max

Full Gen integration, with the addition of event support and interactive UI objects

Every RNBO object has its own help file, just like in Max

Events and signals can be mixed in the patcher, just like in Max

Use param, inport, and outport objects to define the controls for your RNBO export

Mix patching and text-based programming directly in RNBO

Easily make your patches, subpatches, and abstractions polyphonic with the?polyphony?attribute
