Objectives
Upon completion of this training program, participants will have acquired the theoretical and practical notions for realization of interactive sound and music systems using R-IoT sesnsors (9-axis sensor with accelerometres, WIFI), as well as pattern-recognition systems. Programming interfaces such as the Arduino or R-IoT will also be addressed
Public
Composers, musicians, performers, teachers, designers
Prerequisites
- Participants must be able to justify a good knowledge of Max and its environment: completion and understanding of the basic Max tutorials (Max Basisc tutorials 1 à 11, 14 à 22, Max Data tutorials 1 et 2, MSP tutorials, MSP Basics tutorials 1 à 5, MSP Panning tutorials 1 à 3, MSP Analysis tutorials 1 à 2, MSP Delay tutorials 1 à 3 et 6) or to have followed the Max Initiation course.
- Possess a good knowledge of technical English vocabulary and terms used in common audio software.
- Mastery of the basic functions of a Macintosh computer (use of a keyboard and mouse, create and manage files and folders, use menus, launch an application).
- A good knowledge how to use of an audio sequencer (Ableton Live, Reaper, Protools, Logic Pro...) is also recommended.
- Basic mathematical concepts will facilitate understanding: integers, rational and decimal numbers, sums, subtractions, multiplications, divisions, absolute value, study of simple functions.
Training Period and Organization
24 hours of training. Tuesday-Friday, May 19-22, 2026. 10am-1pm/2:30pm-5:30pm
10 students maximum
In the event that IRCAM cannot physically welcome students for a program that requires face-to-face instruction, the program will be cancelled.
Program
Some details of the training program are subject to revision as the software on which it is based evolves.
Tuesday
Morning | Overview of different types of sensors, interfaces, and suppliers. The particular case of wireless sensors Hands-on exercises: use the programming environments Arduino. |
Afternoon | Hands-on exercises : master the basics of programming in Arduino, first simple examples of coding, uploading code towards the Arduino and R-IoT interfaces. |
Wednesday
Morning | Recuperation and processing of sensor data in Max (Arduino and R-Iots) Filtering (average, median filter, low pass filter) and normalization |
Afternoon | Implementation of a mapping system Direct use of sensor data with simple sound processes. Synthesis control, playback of sound files |
Thursday
Morning | Hands-on exercises: create a sonification system: using the R-IoT Sensor, recuperation of data and sonification in Max |
Afternoon | Introduction to the MuBu library and Gesture follower. |
Friday
Morning | Theory: introduction to "machine learning" with the Mubu for Max library allowing advanced applications for gesture and motion recognition. Presentation of examples of use in sonic and artistic projects (performative art) |
Afternoon | Hands-on exercises: produce a system with sensors connected to the R-IoT interface, learning, and recognition in Max with MuBu |
Educational Resources and Techniques
- Classroom equipped with computers with all the necessary software installed, headphones, and MIDI keyboards
- Participants will be provided with kits that include an R-IoT card.
The R-IoT module is part of the training fee (valued at €99 excluding VAT). - Class Format: training alternates between presentations, explanations on theory, studying examples to analyze, and hands-on exercises.
- Didactic Materials: video-projected presentations and PDF documents.
Supervision
- Welcome the first day of training beginning at 9:45am
- Attendance controlled: signature of an attendance sheet required every morning and afternoon
- A certificate at the end of the program is given to each participant with the results of the exam
.Assessment
- Assessment of knowledge will take the form of hands-on exercises throughout the training.
