negative goes away
positive goes towards
camera
flat surface in a 3D space
render- to make an output. a printer is a render.
qmetro- willing to drop bangs, even if there’s no time to. bangs aren’t high priority- good for video.
[qmetro fps]
4 planes of data. red green blue alpha (opacity)
line] x y z – make it seem like it is moving through space
henon map
volume- size
pitch – color
brightness
disorder- order
focus on the low frequencies- like bass drum and analyze if it’s gonna be the focus. Or high frequencies- like cymbals
maybe have the visuals react to the bass drum/ low frequencies
as one is fading from 1 to 0, the other is fading from 0 to 1.
line~
they’re inversely related
[sig~]- sends out a constant signal
[matrix~] -multi channel imput/output matrix
My final project ideas:
I want to incorporate both interactive and video aspects into my final project. I want the user to be able to choose what video is being played and each video will have a synthesized soundtrack that goes with it. I want to use percussive sounds- probably record myself playing woodblock, ride cymbal, ….- and use electronic dubstep samples.
I will have to explore jitter more
Transport- timepoint
table only holds integers
-use call instead
urn- wont repeat numbers. random until it uses all numbers without repeating. right outlet- done. message clear- ready to go again
encapsulate (edit- encapsulate)- makes a subpatch with an inlet and outlet
function]- can design messages
How max manages time:
– musical time is different that real time- there’s measure, divisions of beats. Quarter and eighth notes different depending on what the beat is.
music time (tempo relative time)
[transport]- starts a separate clock than MAX scheduler- on and off with 0 1. with metro obj- can make quarter notes [metro 4n]
MIDI- from the 70’s or 80’s- way for musical devices to communicate to each other.
binary= 10101001
-8 bits= 1 bites
msb- most significant bite
lsb- least significant bite
hexadecimal- numbering system- has 16 digits = 123456789abcdef (a=10, b=11….)
0= 16^0
A=16^1
=decimal 100
midi was developed in mid 70’s- there were hella synthesizers, corps. and geeky people were building them. computers could read numbers, send out voltages.
mac has MIDI studio. we can mediate
midi is not audio, it’s just instructions to make a sound. the object determines the sound.
60- middle c.
12 semi tones
status bite 128-255
data- velocity 0-127
data- release velocity 0-127
midi doesn’t give information of note duration. nope, because it’s designed to be used in real time.
AU dls synth- mac has a synth
[pgmout]- uses number as status bite
channel messages- allowed receiving device to determine if message is for them
[metro~]= outputs a bang at a constant time interval (in ms)
cycle sends out a full amplitude wave- you have to control the volume
[cycle~ 440]
meter~ obj creates a level meter
scope~ does best to create a sine wave
multiply~ 0]
plot~
linear interpolation- interpolating in a straight line. [line~] expects two messages. in a list [0.5 100] or (0.5) (100) right to left ordering- how it’s triggered
