You processed everything? I haven't! (yet?)

If are you comfortable with Max and MSP, the Jitter tutorials are actually
quite enjoyable. Go slowly, make sure you read the tutorial pdf, and you
will love it. It won't take you months. Jitter tutorials are a real pleasure
compared to Max tutorials!

By the way, what you described seems possible to do just in Max, with [lcd].
