Building A Modulation Delay In Gen~
Taught by: Massimiliano Cerioni
Cycling 74’s Max / MSP’s Gen~ offers a vast playground of audio processing opportunities to create your own audio devices. In this workshop you will build your own modulation delay line that utilizes Gen for signal processing. This workshop aims to provide you with suitable skills to begin exploring modulation delay line devices in the Gen~. Gen provides highly optimised audio processes that matches C++ and is the ideal technology for improving complex Max patches and free CPU.
