Max’s data types: messages, bangs, integers, floats, and lists. Open Sound Control, audio signals, and Jitter matrices. Structure and interpretation of Max programs: objects, timing, patchers and abstractions. Basics of DSP: sampling, aliasing, amplitude, the frequency spectrum. Examples of sample playback and looping, synthesis (FM, additive, and granular, audio effects). Basics of Digital Video: the Jitter Matrix Examples of Movie Playback and Manipulation, and Animation with OpenGL. Dealing with input from controllers and sensors (MIDI, the mouse and keyboard, USB devices, and Ethernet). Mixing event processing, signal processing, and matrix processing. Using the CNMAT Max/MSP/Jitter Depot, an online repository of patches, tutorials, and repertoire.
