On my August 2008 post entitled A Free Tutorial on Spectral Sound Processing Using Max/MSP and Jitter , Alex asked: " I was wondering if you also put "Melody to Harmony" patch on line ". Good news, the patch is online! It is called 6-melody-to-harmony and free to download on this page: Jean-François Charles' Max MSP Jitter patches (link updated 01/12/2010) .
