SUMMARY:Algorithmic Composition in Max: Bringing Order to Chaos
DESCRIPTION:Learn to construct music-generating algorithms in Max\, to compose semi-autonomously or supplement your compositional practice. \nLevel: Intermediate  \nComposing with randomness \nFor centuries\, musicians have incorporated chance-based elements into their compositions\, first through coin flips and dice rolls and more recently through computer software. Today\, building music-oriented algorithmic systems is easier than ever with Max. \nWhat you will learn \nIn this workshop you will learn a variety of algorithmic processes and useful tools to construct your own systems: including drunken walks\, list manipulation and step-sequencer pattern generation. Primarily focusing on MIDI-controlled instruments\, you will gain an understanding of how chance can be factored into numerous aspects of composition\, from melody and harmony to overall piece structure and instrumentation. \nBy the end of the workshop you will have built a system for algorithmically generating a short multi-instrumental composition which you will be able to go on to improve and expand upon to fit your own preferences. \nRequirements \n\nYou should be comfortable with the general workflow and data formatting in Max.\nKnowledge of MIDI format and routing to DAWs (Ableton\, Logic etc) would be a plus\, although Max instruments will be provided.\nYou should have some basic knowledge of music theory: chords\, scales\, modes etc.\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 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. \n \nWebsite \nYouTube channel

SUMMARY:Build a web assembly synthesiser with iPlug 2
DESCRIPTION:Learn to use iPlug2 C++ audio plugin framework to create a synthesiser that runs on the web. \niPlug2 is a new C++ framework that allows you to build cross-platform audio plug-ins\, using minimal code. One of the exciting features of iPlug2 is that it lets you turn your plug-in into a web page that anyone can use without a DAW (see for example https://virtualcz.io). In this workshop participants will learn how to build a web based synthesiser using cloud based tools\, and publish it to a GitHub pages website. We will look at some basic DSP in order to customise the sound of the synthesiser and we will also customise the user interface. The same project builds native audio plug-ins\, although in the workshop we will focus on the web version. \nNote from Oli: Even though the workshop might use lots of unfamiliar technologies\, iPlug2 is designed to be simple to use and has many of the more confusing aspects of cross platform programming solved for you already. Don’t worry if the technology sounds scary\, everyone should be able to build a custom synthesiser using the example projects and workflow. \nRequirements \n\nA GitHub account (free)\nVisual studio code (free)\nA basic familiarity with Git\, C++ and audio processing\nDocker Desktop installed (free)\n\nUseful links \n\nhttps://iplug2.github.io\nhttp://www.olilarkin.co.uk\nhttps://www.facebook.com/olilarkinplugins\n\n\n\nAbout the workshop leader \nOli Larkin is an audio software developer and music technologist with over 15 years of experience developing plug-ins and plug-in frameworks.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Markov Chains: Machine Learning in Max/MSP
DESCRIPTION:Difficulty level: Beginner \nOverview \nMarkov chains are mathematical models that have existed in various forms since the 19th century\, which have been used to aid statistical modelling in many real-world contexts\, from economics to cruise control in cars. Composers have also found musical uses for Markov Chains\, although the implied mathematical knowledge needed to implement them often appears daunting. \nIn this workshop we will demystify the Markov Chain and make use of the popular ml.star library in Max/MSP to implement Markov Chains for musical composition. This will involve preparing and playing MIDI files into the system (as a form of Machine Learning) and capturing the subsequent output as new MIDI files. By the end of the session you will have the knowledge of how to incorporate Markov Chains into your future compositions at various levels. \nTopics \n\nMax\nMarkov Chains\nMachine Learning\nAlgorithmic Composition\n\n\n \nRequirements  \n\nYou should have a basic understanding of the Max workflow and different data types.\nKnowledge of MIDI format and routing to DAWs (Ableton\, Logic etc) would be a plus\, although Max instruments will be provided.\nNo prior knowledge of advanced mathematical or machine learning concepts are necessary\, the focus will be on musical application.\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.
