SUMMARY:Generative Music Tools: LFOs and Pitch Quantization - On demand
DESCRIPTION:Level: Intermediate \nThere are a broad array of techniques musicians can use to generate music in Max. One fundamental component of traditional analogue synthesiser use is the LFO\, or low-frequency oscillator. Additionally\, pitch quantization can be an extremely powerful tool\, especially when used alongside the values generated by an LFO. \nThis workshop will provide you with the information to construct both devices in Max\, giving you a broader palette of compositional tools. \nSession Learning Outcomes: \nBy the end of this session you will be able to: \n\n\nLearn the basics of LFOs and pitch quantizers. \n\n\nBuild a standalone LFO patch with variable waveforms and a functional UI. \n\n\nBuild a quantizer which will map incoming pitch values to user-defined scales/modes. \n\n\nUse both devices to control parameters of sound synthesis and assist in generative music composition. \n\n\nSession Study Topics \n\n\nGenerative music \n\n\nLFOs and waveforms \n\n\nPitch quantization \n\n\nComposition through MIDI and software instrument manipulation. \n\n\n\n \nRequirements \n\nA computer and internet connection\n Access to a copy of Max 7 or 8 (i.e. trial or full license)\n\nAbout the workshop leader  \nSamuel Pearce-Davies is a composer\, performer\, music programmer and Max hacker living in Cornwall\, UK. \nWith a classical music background\, it was his introduction to Max/MSP during undergraduate studies at Falmouth University that sparked Sam’s passion for music programming and algorithmic composition. \nGoing on to complete a Research Masters in computer music\, Sam is now studying a PhD at Plymouth University in music-focused AI

SUMMARY:Max meetup 17th April - Americas Edition
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: Saturday 17th April 3pm LA / 6pm NYC \nLevel: Open to all levels \nJoin the Max meetup to share ideas and learn with other artists\, coders and performers. Showcase your patches\, pair with others to learn together\, get help for a school assignment\, or discover new things. \nThe meetup runs via Zoom. The main session features short presentations from Max users. Breakout rooms are created on the spot on specific topics\, and you can request a new topic at any time. \nThe theme for this session is Max in live performances. \nHosted by: Chloe Alexandra Thompson \nWith presentations by:  \nMarcus Price: Granular Synthesis \nPresentation on how he use granular synthesis/auto-scrubbing and a variety of custom tools (spacialization helpers\, effects and feedback/delay lines) for live performances. \nMichele Zaccagnini: Nonlinear Sequencer \nMichele will present a max package he designed which is now distributed in the package manager. It covers the use of sequencers in nonlinear fashion\, i.e. the time function of the sequencer is distorted to create tempo oscillations. The overall tempo-predictability and synchronization robustness of the sequencer is nonetheless still present in the Nonlinear Sequencer. Plus these set of objects allow to “measure” the regularity/irregularity of a rhythmic event on an imaginary grid. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXMQVkLE-bKdA7cycXECtCQ   \nhttps://michelezaccagnini.blog/. \nJoão Cabral: Topic: Hardware presentation \nJoão will present a bunch of devices that were made using M4L that work as a 1 dimensional Visual Synth that were used to create LED animations. \n  \nIn the breakout rooms\, you can share your screen to show other participants something you’re working on\, ask for help\, or help someone else. \nReady to present your work at a future meetup? \nEveryone is welcome to propose a presentation. Just fill in this short form and you’ll be put on the agenda on a first come first served basis. \nPresentations should take no more than 5 minutes with 5 minutes Q&A and we’ll have up to 5 presentations at each meetup. \nList of presenters will be updated and announced before each event. \nTopic suggestions but not limited to: \n\nMIDI\nJitter\nSignal processing\nSequencing\nHardware\nOSC\nAlgorithmic composition\nPackage manager modules\n\n\n \nRequirements \n\nA Zoom account\nA computer and internet connection\n\nBerlin Code of Conduct \nWe ask all participants to read and follow the Berlin Code of Conduct and contribute to creating a welcoming environment for everyone.
