Friday Lecture

# Ideas
Max is often used is inter-device and inter-media "plumbing." In other words, some sensor, controller, or input device is connected to a computer, running Max, which then outputs some audio, video, motor control messages to realize the artists wishes.

# Topics
- Keyboard and Mouse as controllers
- External devices (joystick, tablet...?)
- Open Sound Control
- Building a User Inter

#Ideas
Much Max programming can be thought of "getting the right message to the right place at the right time".

# Your assignment
## Sound

Play with the patches we have provided for making envelopes with line~ and adsr~ to get a feel for amplitude envelopes, and make yourself a collection of amplitude envelopes that you like.

# Ideas
A common and powerful method of control is grouping messages together into lists, and storing lists in collections to be played back, like a musical score. Methods of creating an playing scores will be discussed.
Also, as projects get more complex, it becomes useful to organize one's patches. Two useful tools are: Sub-patchers and Abstractions.

# Topics
- lists in message boxes: variables
- lists with pack and unpack
- collections
- encapsulating
- abstractions: variables

# Ideas
Max is a graphical programming where messages are passed between objects using patch cords. Today's lecture begins with the mode of interacting with the Max environment (locked/unlocked, patching/presentation). It moves on types (ints, floats, symbols, lists, audio, matrix) of messages, and how they can be formed and transmitted. Basic debugging techniques are addressed.

#Topics
- navigating the patcher window
- messages and objects
- getting help
- data types
- file paths and the file browser

# Your assignment

Play with the additive synthesizer instrument we have provided (named simple-additive~) to get a feel for additive synthesis.

Play with the slide show patch we have provided, named "simple-slideshow."

simple-sequencer demonstrates the concepts of playing a score, or a timed list of cues. Currently it "plays" each note by printing a list in the Max window.

# What we have provided
- "percussion-buffers", a small patch which reads nine percussion sound files into nine buffers.
- "simple-sampler~", a straightforward sample-playback synthesis patch based on play~. There is also a help patch that shows how to use simple-sampler~.
- "simple-draw.maxhelp" draws triangles, squares, and circles into an LCD object.

# Your assignment

Using the audio and visual patches provided, build a four voice poly-rhythmic metronome.

Hint: Use the metro object.

Friday Lab
