Music Hackspace Getting Started With Interactivity With Max by Kyle Duffield

Make Max patches respond to input: trigger and sync audio with playlist~, map keyboard keys, randomise playback, remap value ranges, and build a presentation-mode GUI, finishing with an introduction to Jitter video.

In this workshop you will build an interactive system in Max to control audio and visual elements. This workshop aims to provide beginners to Max the suitable skills to begin exploring working interactively with audio and visual patches in the Max environment, in the context of creative exploration and performance. This is part one of a series of three workshops looking at interactivity in Max. No additional hardware and no experience with Max is required but it is recommended that you have taken the free “Getting Started With Max” on-demand course.
