Friday Lecture

# Ideas
Max is often used is inter-device and inter-media "plumbing." In other words, some sensor, controller, or input device is connected to a computer, running Max, which then outputs some audio, video, motor control messages to realize the artists wishes.

# Topics
- Keyboard and Mouse as controllers
- External devices (joystick, tablet...?)
- Open Sound Control
- Building a User Inter

#Ideas
Much Max programming can be thought of "getting the right message to the right place at the right time".

# Your assignment
## Sound

Play with the patches we have provided for making envelopes with line~ and adsr~ to get a feel for amplitude envelopes, and make yourself a collection of amplitude envelopes that you like.

# Ideas
A common and powerful method of control is grouping messages together into lists, and storing lists in collections to be played back, like a musical score. Methods of creating an playing scores will be discussed.
Also, as projects get more complex, it becomes useful to organize one's patches. Two useful tools are: Sub-patchers and Abstractions.

# Topics
- lists in message boxes: variables
- lists with pack and unpack
- collections
- encapsulating
- abstractions: variables

# Ideas
Max is a graphical programming where messages are passed between objects using patch cords. Today's lecture begins with the mode of interacting with the Max environment (locked/unlocked, patching/presentation). It moves on types (ints, floats, symbols, lists, audio, matrix) of messages, and how they can be formed and transmitted. Basic debugging techniques are addressed.

#Topics
- navigating the patcher window
- messages and objects
- getting help
- data types
- file paths and the file browser

# Your assignment

Play with the additive synthesizer instrument we have provided (named simple-additive~) to get a feel for additive synthesis.

Play with the slide show patch we have provided, named "simple-slideshow."

simple-sequencer demonstrates the concepts of playing a score, or a timed list of cues. Currently it "plays" each note by printing a list in the Max window.

# What we have provided
- "percussion-buffers", a small patch which reads nine percussion sound files into nine buffers.
- "simple-sampler~", a straightforward sample-playback synthesis patch based on play~. There is also a help patch that shows how to use simple-sampler~.
- "simple-draw.maxhelp" draws triangles, squares, and circles into an LCD object.

# Your assignment

Using the audio and visual patches provided, build a four voice poly-rhythmic metronome.

Hint: Use the metro object.

Friday Lab

#When, where, who
- The workshop runs July 14-18, 11 AM-4 PM (Lecture 11-12, lunch break 12-1, lab session with instructor support 1-4)
- CNMAT is located at 1750 Arch Street, Berkeley, CA
- Instructors: [cnmat:node/509|Michael Zbyszynski] and other experienced Max/MSP/Jitter teachers

The workshop will be held in the Main Room at CNMAT.

#Description:::
Jitter is an extension to Max that allows flexible generation and manipulation of video, matrix, and 3D graphics data.

Max/MSP/Jitter is a graphical environment for music, audio, and multimedia that runs on both Macintosh (OSX) and Windows XP platforms.

# Hardware Setup:

- Components:
- Icosahedron
- Ethernet cable and female-to-female extender
- Word-clock sync cable and female-to-female extender/junction
- Firewire cable
- Rimas box
- Beamserver (mac mini)
- Power supply
- RangeArray sensor
- Pole mount

# Setup Proceedure

1. Connect Icosahedron to gigabit ethernet switch
2.

Internal sensor data arrives as input audio channels from the icosadehron.

# Current

Audio channel #1; multiply by factor 6.0 to get power utilization in amps.
