Programming via Gen~ Codebox In Max
Taught by: Massimiliano Cerioni
In this workshop you will learn how to program audio patches within Codebox in Gen~ via Max. Codebox expands the options of working in Gen~ allowing for procedural operations not easily achievable via graphical patching. You will use Codebox to provide programming functionality to your Gen~ audio patches. This workshop aims to enhance your skills in developing creative audio patches via text based coding techniques in Gen~ via the Max environment. Experience with Gen~ is required (i.e. previously completing the Getting Confident With Gen~ course) and familiarity with basic text-based programming techniques (i.e. basic Python etc.).
