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.

SUMMARY:Gravity Synth Masterclass with Leon Trimble - LIVE Session
DESCRIPTION:Don’t forget to also sign up for the Live AV Performance by Leon Trimble followed shortly after this Masterclass – Live AV Performance by Leon Trimble – Music Hackspace \n \nMasterclass Date & Time:  Friday 16th April 5pm UK \nThe Gravity Synth is a musical instrument combining the instrumentation used to detect gravitational waves\, and a modular synthesiser. The experimentation with the scientific and musical equipment has been a collaboration between researchers at the Institute for Gravitational Wave Astronomy at University of Birmingham and audiovisual artist Leon Trimble. This is a parallel journey exploring the similarities between the processes of art and science. Leon Trimble has been working on the gravity synth since 2016 when\, having sat down next to Dr.Hannah Middleton (Gravitational wave data analyst). From that moment on they started meeting and Leon & Hannah planned how the sound of a Michelson Interferometer (IFO) could be shaped into a performance. As time went on and the interferometer bedded into the performance\, Leon upgraded parts of the modular synthesiser to accompany the IFO and Aaron refined components of the IFO to more accurately make sound. \nLink: https://gravitysynth.tumblr.com/ \nSupported using public funding by Arts Council England \n\n \nRequirements \n\nA computer and internet connection\nA Zoom account

SUMMARY:Generative Music Tools: Turing Machine - LIVE Session
DESCRIPTION:Level: Intermediate \nThere are a broad array of techniques musicians can use to generate music in Max. One such process involves taking inspiration from Alan Turing’s early work on proto-computers\, in particular the notion of a tape with data being displayed on it. \nThis workshop will provide you with the information to construct such a generative device\, a ‘Turing Machine’\, to supplement your compositional practice. \nSession Learning Outcomes: \nBy the end of this session you will be able to: \n\n\nUnderstand the fundamentals of a Turing Machine in a musical context. \n\n\nPatch together a generative process using randomisation and counters. \n\n\nBuild a functional UI to tweak different aspects of the generative process in real time. \n\n\nUse the finished device to both generate music through MIDI and control broader parameters of software instruments. \n\n\nSession Study Topics \n\n\nTuring machines\, generative music. \n\n\nRandom processes: drunken walks and probability. \n\n\nVisual design in Max \n\n\nComposition through MIDI and software instrument manipulation. \n\n\n\n \nRequirements \n\nA computer and internet connection\nAccess 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:Live Eurorack DIY build workshop: Make a CONTROL module with Tom Whitwell of Music Thing Modular - LIVE Session
DESCRIPTION:Sign up here: CMusic Thing Modular – ‘Control’ Online Workshop with Tom Whitwell – Thonk – DIY Synthesizer Kits & Components \nDate & Time: Saturday 27th March 7pm GMT / 8pm CET / 12 midday PST / 3pm EST \nLevel: Beginner – Intermediate (basic soldering experience required) \nEurorack modular synthesizers can be expensive and bewildering. \nThis workshop will help you develop confidence to build DIY modules yourself\, unlocking a huge range of satisfying new opportunities. \nBefore we start building\, Tom will talk briefly about the process of module design\, touching on ideas\, usability\, prototyping\, electronics and tools\, and answer any questions. \nTogether\, we’ll build a brand new module called Control. It has four big knobs\, is 18hp\, and gives detailed fine-grained control over any parameters in a modular synth. \nTom wrote about the development process for Control here: \nhttps://medium.com/music-thing-modular-notes/make-knob-twiddling-great-again-47065a346c2 \nSession Learning Outcomes \nBy the end of this session\, a successful student will be able to: \n\n\nConfidently solder a through-hole electronic PCB \n\n\nAssemble a fairly complex Eurorack synth module\, ensuring pots and switches are correctly aligned. \n\n\nHave a simple understanding of the process of designing and prototyping music hardware. \n\n\nRequirements \nRequired materials: \n\n\nThis is a through-hole kit. All SMD parts are pre-soldered. \n\n\nA fine tip soldering iron – ideally with temperature control. \n\n\nFine rosin core solder (1mm or less in diameter). Leaded solder is generally easier to work with\, particularly for beginners. \n\n\nSide cutter pliers \n\n\nRequired workspace:  \n\n\nFrom running many workshops in the past\, we’ve found that a good workspace is as important as the right equipment: \n\n\nSpace: You don’t need much\, just a clear patch of desk\, with a surface that won’t be damaged by the odd drop of solder. A silicone soldering mat is nice but absolutely not essential. \n\n\nLight: Enough light to see small components and check their placement. A desk lamp is good. \n\n\nSight: Everyone’s vision is different\, but have whatever you need to see small objects clearly – glasses or a magnifier. \n\n\nVentilation: soldering with rosin/flux creates small amounts of smoke and fumes\, so work in a room with some ventilation – a window you can open\, or just a desk fan to blow the fumes away. \n\n\nIf you have any questions about equipment or workspace\, don’t hesitate to email tom@musicthing.co.uk \nRequired tech:  \n\n\nA computer and internet connection \n\n\nA web cam and mic \n\n\nA Zoom account \n\n\nAbout the workshop leader \nTom Whitwell designs Music Thing Modular electronic musical instruments from a shed in Herne Hill\, London.  Tom has been designing devices and writing about music for many years\, developing hugely popular DIY modules including: Turing Machine\, Radio Music and Mikrophonie.
