Part 1 - Introduction & Variable Waveform Setup
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.
Learning outcomes
Build a standalone LFO patch with variable waveforms and a functional UI
Build a quantizer which will map incoming pitch values to user-defined scales/modes
Use both devices to control parameters of sound synthesis and assist in generative music composition
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)
