Discover a new instrument in this live-stream and learn their design story. Based in Tallinn, Estonia, the Mash Machine team has put together a kit version of the Reactable. While it looks similar to the Barcelona instrument, the software and sound engine is different. Mash Machine is designed as a social instrument, playing and meshing […]
In this workshop we’ll look at scripting techniques for changing the appearance and behaviour of Max patchers, and the use of Javascript graphics to build new types of on-screen displays and controls. /**/ Max contains an embedded Javascript engine which can be used to control aspects of Max from a textual language, providing more power […]
Learn to construct music-generating algorithms in Max, to compose semi-autonomously or supplement your compositional practice. Level: Intermediate Composing with randomness For 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. What you […]
During these workshops you will prototype your own instrument (hardware and software) using an Arduino microcontroller, sensors, and Max or Pure Data. Registration includes access to all sessions. You will be introduced to the basics of working with an Arduino microcontroller and interfacing it with a computer software in order to generate, control and manipulate […]
Level Intermediate. Knowledge of Max or Pure Data is required, and some rudiments of digital audio. Max offers a vast playground of programming opportunities to create your own audio FX devices.
