# 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.

#Description:::
Jitter is an extension to Max that allows flexible generation and manipulation of video, matrix, and 3D graphics data.

Max/MSP/Jitter is a graphical environment for music, audio, and multimedia that runs on both Macintosh (OSX) and Windows XP platforms.

# Hardware Setup:

- Components:
- Icosahedron
- Ethernet cable and female-to-female extender
- Word-clock sync cable and female-to-female extender/junction
- Firewire cable
- Rimas box
- Beamserver (mac mini)
- Power supply
- RangeArray sensor
- Pole mount

# Setup Proceedure

1. Connect Icosahedron to gigabit ethernet switch
2.

Internal sensor data arrives as input audio channels from the icosadehron.

# Current

Audio channel #1; multiply by factor 6.0 to get power utilization in amps.

Acquiring a New Musical System

requirements for the degree of

An experiment which explores settings of a multiband compressor using a 2d-interpolation user interface.

This technological proof-of-concept demonstrated a real hearing aid reprogrammable in realtime using 2d interpolation over presets. The hearing aid is the Starkey Labs behind-ear type, programmed through a HI-PRO interface.

Open Sound Control was used to link the user interface (implemented with MaxMSP) to the HI-PRO.

- Significant time requirement to program hearing aid prohibits full-rate interactive reprogramming. HI-PRO is ~ 2400 baud.

# Training Instructions

Here are 7 objects on the bottom side of each object is a picture of a shape. The shapes may be different types, sizes and colors. You need to arrange the shapes on this board such that the shapes you perceive as similar are close together and those that are different are far apart.
