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.

The Media Studio, also, commonly referred to as the Middle Studio, is ostensibly configured to support video production. It is located downstairs, immediately adjacent to the Machine Room.

Here is a collection of tips and policies on presenting a concert at CNMAT, Hertz Hall, and on the road.

There are just a couple of things you need to meet in terms of public safety:

1). tape down any cable that crosses public pathways (including aisle stairs and in between row of seats)
2). at doors, run cable over the frame, not through the floor.

Assuming you are running the cable from the mixer (located somewhere center in the house), you have a couple choices on your cable route:

Please report any problems you experience with clear and complete information, including steps to reproduce, software and system information, and where possible, an isolated example patch and crash log. Something like the following would be ideal. This makes it easier for us to find and fix the problems you experience. Without
