Max Interactions: Program Live Musician-Computer Interactions

Intermediate Level

Prerequisite
Advanced knowledge of Max programming. Successful completion of Max: Musical Programming: From Simple Patches to Live Performance Patches or knowledge of the Max tutorials (Basic tutorials 1-22, Data tutorials 1-5, MIDI tutorials 1-5, and MSP tutorials 1-31).

Upon completion of the three advanced Max/MSP programs (processing, interaction, synthesis) participants will be able to program their own complex audio-processing patches, analyze and synthesize sound signals, chose the tools best adapted for their needs and include them in a program for real-time applications.

Description

This specialized course, focused on the idea of interaction, lets participants explore interactive patch programming and advanced MIDI generation before learning to detect, follow, stock, and use the data that come from audio analysis (amplitude, pitch, specter) when using interactive musical applications. The different libraries developed at IRCAM - libraries of spectral descriptors and MuBu libraries - will also be the focus of this course.
