CC2 – Week 2 – Max Quickstart:
Below is the picture example and text for recreating my first (graded) Max patch. I was already familiar with the objects and processes talked about in Thursday’s lesson, so this was not a big challenge. However, I suspect experienced users may know of more efficient ways to deal with this type of program.

I think the image above makes the process pretty self explanatory but here is the basic run down:
1) Toggle for start and stop of Metro
2) Number boxes (int and flo) for tempo selection of Metro
3) Counter to provide the count range
4) + operator for mapping numbers to relevant MIDI note range (changeable with number box on far right)
5) Makenote object providing velocity and duration of note values and receiving pitch value from + operator
6) Noteout object for sending MIDI data to the software synth.
Load it up and have a go. It kind of reminds me of that giant pinball machine in Sesame Street – 1 2 3 4, 5, 6 7 8 9, 10, 11 12…
