Tutorials (large-scale topics for teaching and learning)

MMJ Depot Tutorials: The tutorials explain specific topics in depth; they cover programming details as necessary but tend to focus on core theoretical and conceptual issues in computer music, synthesis, signal processing, etc. Tutorials are designed primarily for learning purposes, but are also available to be plundered.

Download the MMJ Depot along with the CNMAT Everything package, found here.

Tutors (single topics covered in-depth)

A Max/MSP/Jitter (MMJ) patch and reference document that serves as a single collection point for the expanding communal wisdom on a particular MMJ object or programming topic. For an advanced user it is a mnemonic aid and for entry level users it is learning space.

Demos (ready to play demonstration patches)

A patch that shows one (impressive) idea, not necessarily with enough flexibility or generality to be useful for extended work (Desired reaction: “Wow!”) Formatted for projection.

Processing

#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

Categories

#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.

Structure of the MIC

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

Music Information Node

#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].

Topics

#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.

MIC Panel

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].
