In this 2-hour workshop, Darwin Grosse (Cycling '74) will use Max/MSP to combine audio clip playback with VST effects and Max for Live devices to create a range of soundscapes from glitchy beats to warped ambiences. The focus will be to create a personal performance system that can be tailored to your interests and style. Topics covered will be audio playback, effects processing, user-interaction development and MIDI mapping.

A basic familiarity with Max will help ensure success!
