We talked about whole-tone chords when we looked at scales in the last chapter. Dominant seventh chords with a lowered fifth (enharmonically equivalent to a French augmented sixth chord) and raised fifth are [...]

For example, you can tell a metro how fast to go by typing an initial time value (usually in milliseconds) as an argument. [...]

This post explains objects and messages. Objects Everything in Max, everything you see, is an object. Integer number boxes, floating-point number boxes, [...]
