SUMMARY
RNBO is an add-on for Max that allows you to take Max-like patches and export them as portable code. It can directly compile that code to targets like an Audio Plugin (i.e. VST/AU), a Max External, Javascript (i.e for a web page) or a Raspberry Pi.
RNBO's goal is to give you the best of Max - rapid iteration, creative exploration - with the freedom to take the resulting work and use it outside of Max. This course will get your started using RNBO to create a plugin, a webpage or an external object.
