Real-time Audio Reactive Visual Programming in Max - On demand
Membership plan: Going Deeper | Topics: Visual Arts
Course overview
One of the best aspects of Max MSP is it’s ability to do real-time visual rendering. In this workshop we’re going to learn how to program our own custom visual designs as well as different techniques to make them respond to audio in real-time.
What you'll learn
- Program their own visual animations in Max MSP
- Have a basic understanding of Jitter, OpenGL and the differences between them
- Learn several techniques to make the visuals responsive to audio in real-time
- Think of the design aesthetics from a new perspective
Who is this course for?
- Through this workshop we’ll explore different aspects of how Jitter and OpenGL operate within the Max domain along with a look into many incredible max objects. We’ll also touch on some signal processing techniques and how to patch it all together.
