(maxmsp) adding functionality with reuse
Couldn’t think of a great title. You can make use of the different little patchers you’ve made for assignments by bringing them in to your performance patch. The easiest way to do this is to use the patcher object (p) — at least it makes it easy to bring a lot of different functions in…

(maxmsp) presentation mode
Demo patcher: presentationMode.maxpat In addition to having a patcher be locked or unlocked (for performance or editing), Max makes use of two viewing modes: patcher or presentation. We’ve been working with patcher mode so far. Presentation mode allows you to create a user interface containing only the objects you need to see, and to arrange…

Using Max/MSP create an interactive/algorithmic performance patcher and perform a short interactive MIDI work during class.

(maxmsp) metro synchronization
My metro synchronization patcher is uploaded (synchRhythm.maxpat), with some comments and enhancements. There is also a subpatcher (p noSync) that provides the entire patcher without sync capabilities. Play with the time values of the second metro object to see how easy it is to get the two metros out of sync. The very basic info…

(musTh212) Chords and Verticalities
General Naming and Issues of Identification Some people avoid the word chords for non-tertian structures. For our purposes, we can use the terms chords, verticalities, and sonorities interchangeably. With all the chord types now possible, it can be difficult to properly identify the type, or construction, of any give chord. Musical context will be of prime importance, and there…

(maxmsp) midiinfo, loadbang, loadmess
midiinfo The midiinfo object can report on currently available MIDI inputs and outputs, outputting this information in a format that can be stored as items in a umenu object. Look at the example patcher midiinfoLoadbang.maxpat. A bang into the left inlet of midiinfo sends out midi outputs. Check the print window to see that it…

(maxmsp) timer and tempo detection
The timer object can be used for detecting elapsed time between events. By default, it tells you the time in milliseconds out its left outlet, but it also can output a formatted time value (hh:mm:ss or beats/bars/tics, for example) out the right outlet. Bang in the left inlet starts the timer. Bang in the right…
