Course overview

There are a broad array of techniques musicians can use to generate music in Max. One fundamental component of traditional analogue synthesiser use is the LFO, or low-frequency oscillator. Additionally, pitch quantization can be an extremely powerful tool, especially when used alongside the values generated by an LFO.

Who is this course for?

  • This workshop will provide you with the information to construct both devices in Max, giving you a broader palette of compositional tools.

Requirements

  • A computer and Internet connection
  • Access to a copy of Max 7 or 8 (i.e. trial or full license)
