-This “toolbox” is collection of Max/MSP objects that we have found useful in creating gesture processing patches for digital musical instruments. Each patch is accompanied by a help patch to demonstrate its use.+The Digital Orchestra Toolbox (DOT) started its life back in 2006 as repository of useful MaxMSP functions for the CIRMMT/McGill Digital Orchestra Project. Over the years it has grown and evolved as it was used in subsequent projects at McGill and elsewhere, including the development and performance of a number of new digital musical instruments such as the T-Stick and the Spine.
  
-**Download:** +Currently, the DOT includes more than 120 tools, and unlike many packages available for extending Max, it consists only of abstractions rather than compiled external objectsThis ensures easy cross-platform functionality, and makes the internal structure and function of the tools viewable, understandable, editable and appropriable by users within Max itself.
-  * [[http://idmil.org/pub/software/dot/dot_20121204.zip|digital orchestra toolbox for Max5 or Max6]] (512 KB) +
-  * [[http://idmil.org/pub/software/dot/|Previous releases]] +
