Hi all,
I teach a free online class in Max 8 every Tuesday and Thursday evening on twitch! The regular meeting time is 5:30pm Pacific (6:30 Mountain, 7:30 Central, 8:30 Eastern.)
Today I am excited to announce the topic for the second unit of Learning Max 8:Building a Polyphonic Additive Synthesizer from Scratch!
This is a BIG topic, and will involve learning many of the most important tools in Max. We will learn about:
- How to work with the file system to include in custom waveforms
- How to build an ADSR envelope to control amplitude over a note's duration.
- How to setup hardware to communicate and control pitch and amplitude.
- How to conceive of and build the basic parts and control mechanisms for additive synthesis. How to wrap code into a poly~ object to enable polyphonic (multiple notes at once) performance.
- And much more!
You do NOT need to be a Max expert to follow along, and the only prerequisite knowledge will be the topics covered in the first unit of this course (all of these classes are available on Twitch to watch for free.) All content can be built alongside me as I work, and by the end of the unit you'll have a fully functioning synthesizer that can also act as a template for future synthesizers!
Learning Max 8 – Unit 2, Class 1 Begins tomorrow at 5:30pm Pacific Time! Feel free to watch the previous classes to prepare: https://www.twitch.tv/musicandtechexplained
