Max/MSP/Jitter is a graphical environment for music, audio, and multimedia that runs on both Macintosh (OSX) and Windows XP platforms. In use worldwide for over fifteen years by performers, composers, artists, teachers, and students, Max/MSP/Jitter is the way to make your computer do things that reflect your individual ideas and dreams.

##Topics:

- Navigating the user interface

# 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. Name them envelope1, " envelope2", " etc."

Live processing

# 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
