Membership plan: Getting Started | Topics: Sound Design
In this workshop you will create music based on multichannel spectral analysis and resynthesis in Max. Spectralism is a popular technique in which composers utilize the spectral profile of sound as a key feature of the process, blending harmony and timbre in interesting and novel ways. This workshop includes performing spectral analysis in the free app SPEAR, importing the frequency analysis files into Max and manipulating them to synthesize musical ideas via Max’s data (coll) and multichannel (MC) objects - the aim is to provide you with suitable skills to begin exploring multichannel spectral synthesis in the Max MSP environment.

Hi Umut,
Really enjoying your courses! You asked about flipping 0 and 1 values around. You can use the subtract and abs object. e.g. if value is 1: abs(1-1) = 0, if value is 0: abs(0-1) = +1.
technically you don’t need abs for 1-1 but it follows the same route and is fine.
