#Troubleshooting

I had a lot of problems getting Processing to successfully communicate over Serial.

First I had a version mismatch which gave me this error:

WARNING:  RXTX Version mismatch
        Jar version = RXTX-2.2pre1
        native lib Version = RXTX-2.2pre2

CNMAT recommended free or near-free third-party software links

#Overview
The Music Information Center is a resource for students to find all of the content on the CNMAT website that is related to a category in the MIC.

There are 3 pages that are used to implement the MIC:
- the MIC Panel which is the primary view of the MIC

#Overview

In MIC Terminology, a "Category" is an umbrella term under which multiple "Topics" can be placed. Categories appear on the lefthand side of the MIC.

#Adding

The Music Information Center is composed of Categories, Topics, Music Information Nodes, the Music Information Panel, and MIC Resource pages.

#Overview

Music Information nodes associate categories to topics. These nodes do not appear directly in the MIC, but they are the scaffolding which associates Categories to Topics.

Read more about adding Topics by creating a Music Information node and tagging it appropriately [http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/node/10959|here].

#Overview

A "Topic" is a term that appears under a "Category" in the Music Information Center. These appear on the righthand side of the MIC after selecting one of the categories on the left.

#Adding

The main view of the Music Information Center is through the MIC Panel. The panel contains a script which shows all of the MIC Categories on the left side and when one of those categories is selected, it shows its topics on the right side.

Edit the layout or contents of the panel [http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/admin/build/panels/edit/30|here].

The MIC Resource page is an automatically generated page which takes a term ID as an argument in the URL and creates a page with all of the nodes tagged with that term.

The page itself is a panel and each of the components of the panel is a view. You can edit the panel [http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/admin/build/panels/edit/21|here].

#Overview

Nodes tagged properly will appear in the MIC Resource page under the corresponding node type.

#Tagging the Node

#Overview
The Music Information Node type is used to join a category (a tag in the Music Information Center Vocabulary) to a topic (a term from any other vocabulary). Though these nodes are not directly visible from the MIC, they are the glue the joins Categories to Topics in the MIC world.

#Creating the node

#Overview

Currently, the Music Information Center is a list of terms automatically generated using a small php script which makes a URL for each of the terms in the MIC vocabulary and arranges them hierarchically as they appear in the vocabulary set.

#Adding a new term, an example

These are some examples for common maintenance tasks in the MIC.

CNMAT presents a series of intensive and immersive summer workshops for artists, musicians, interface designers, and anyone wanting to improve their skills with Max/MSP/Jitter or learn from scratch. The courses will be taught by programmers and artists with a great deal of experience both using and teaching the software.

Max/MSP is a visual programming environment for music, audio, and new media. The Max section is the oldest, MSP is an additional library that handles audio signals, and Jitter is the most recent library that handles video, animation, and other types of matrix data.

Download
To start, download Max/MSP from here (choose either the current Mac version or the current Windows version):

These patches were either built up in class, or used by instructors during breakout sessions (during which new material was presented). We will be updating this page with new materials as we move through the week.
