Build highly efficient signal processing operations in Max using Gen~. The course contains 24 custom-made example patches along with audio samples that you will build as exercises during the course and be able to use in your own projects.

What you'll learn

Become familiar with the Gen~ environment
Build various audio processing tools via Gen~ (i.e. delay FX, AM and FM tools)
Construct basic Gen~ sampling and synthesis tools
Apply a myriad of Gen~ operators

Requirements

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