    Real-Time Interaction
    Edit






    Mastering the tools for interaction in real-time makes it possible to imagine multiple interactions between machine and musicians, dancers, actors, and the audience as stage performances or installations, combining sound, visual, multimedia, and virtual reality elements in a sole environment.

    Users program interactive real-time MIDI and audio applications with Max.  Max for Live lets the numerous fans of Ableton’s software for electro musicians and DJs hear possibilities for live performances.

    Certifications Max level 1 and Max level 2

    IRCAM has implemented two certifications in Max. Taken at the end of the Max classes (Initiation or Intermediate), these certifications assess the students’ level in Max by testing their capacity to design, implement, and use applications created with the software. 



    Since 2017, 16 Max certification exam sessions have been held. 74,28% of the participants passed Max Level 1 and 78.69% passed Max Level 2.

    "A super interesting class. Thank you to the teaching staff who shared with us the different possibilities of using the Max for Live software." Hend Z., musician, Max for Live

    "Very good course. The instructors are very competent and attentive. We leave this training with a lot of good reflexes and ideas for implementing Max in educational and artistic projects. Recommended!" Federico, Sound Arts mediator, Max initiation, Max level 1 certification

    "Thank you to the entire team for these Max immersion courses during lockdown!" Chloe, musician and producer, Max perfectionnement, Max level 2 certification

    “I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and respect to the professors with truly advanced knowledge and skills, and the wonderful staff at IRCAM. I hope that I will be able to visit here again!” Masao, Composer, Max initiation in English

    “Excellent course taught by wonderful instructor.” Chi Hin, Assistant Professor, Max initiation in English

    All classes held on site at IRCAM follow preventitive hygiene practices and guidelines related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the event that IRCAM cannot physically welcome students for a program that requires face-to-face instruction, the program will be cancelled.
