41. Thanks For Watching (And 1 more project!)

Thanks for Watching! A few thoughts on some more things you can do to keep learning!

40. Controlling Filters by using the Beat

Now that we have a beat, and a filter, lets connect them and see what happens!

39. Finding Beats

We can get the tempo from Live easy enough, but what if we want a steady beat? It can be a little tricky.

38. New UI Object: Filtergraph~

The Filtergraph~ object is what we use to control a filter. But it isn't actually a filter itself. For that we need [biquad~].

37. Controlling Any Parameter

More detail on how we can ask for different devices and difference parameters in Live.

36. M4L Patches

In this video I'll walk you through the basic language of how we talk to Live, and show you a few patches I've made to outline the syntax.

35. The "M4L List of Abstractions"

This is a list of a bunch of Abstractions that comes with your installation of MaxForLive. You already have these!

34. Abstractions

We've seen Abstractions before, but for the next part we will really want to look at them a bit deeper.

33. Presentation Setup

Lets go one extra step and make this one look nice by visiting Presentation view.

32. Multitaps

Now that we have one delay, we can deploy it out and make many delays!

31. Audio Toggle

We should probably have a way to turn our dry signal on and off - so lets build that in.

30. Volume Control

We might as well slap an audio fader (and level meter) on this while we are here!

29. Tapin~ and Tapout~

Our main object for delaying an audio signal is Tapin~ and Tapout~. These work a little different than other objects we've seen so far.

28. Walkthrough

You will soon get used to these! I do them all the time.

27. Audio UI Objects

When we work with audio, we have a few extra UI objects for showing and interacting with our signal.

26. The Tilde (~) Objects and Yellow Patch Chords

Objects with a Tilde (~) can have an audio signal in them - they mostly work the same, with a few oddities.

25. Deploying and Encapsulating

Once we do something once, we can deploy it to do it a bunch of times.

24. Transposing Notes

Step 2: Transposing notes!

23. Delaying Notes

Step 1: Delay some notes!

22. Walkthrough: What we Will Need For This Project

First I'm going to walk through the different things we are going to need in order to put this project together.

21. Why Not Notein?

We made this using the default [Midiin] object. But we could have used something called [Notein]. Whats the difference?

20. Adding the Dry (not delayed) Signal

Next we need a way to add back in our not-delayed signal. While we are at it, lets learn how to put a switch on this so we can turn it on and off.

19. Our First Object: Pipe

Pipe - this is an object that will delay numbers, lists, and messages. Perfect for a MIDI delay.

18. Workflow: Approaching a New Project

This is how I approach programming a new MaxForLive patch - this is a trick that helps us to outline what we are going to build before we start.

17. Learning How To Learn Max

One more note about my approach to teaching Max, and how you can best take advantage of this class.

16. Bangs & Buttons

The mighty "bang" message is something completely unique to Max, and a little tricky to wrap your head around at first.

15. Messages

"Messages" are another kind of building block in Max, important to understand how to use.

14. Objects & Arguments

Max is made up of hundreds of things called "Objects". In this video I'll show you how they work.

13. The Max Editor & Patching

"Patching" is what we call connecting things to build more complex things. In this video I'll walk you through how to patch things and start building.

12. Modes: Presentation, Patching (Editing), Locked, and Unlocked

Max has 2 different "modes" and both of them have 2 "views".

11. Getting Help: The Help Windows

MaxForLive (like Ableton) has a built-in Help section that can guide you to answers quickly.

10. Starting From Scratch

Finally - I want to talk about some workflow tricks for starting from scratch (which we will be doing for the rest of this class)

9. Finding and Sharing MaxForLive Devices

The MaxForLive community is large, and growing every day. There are a number of great resources for find and sharing patches.

8. Loading MaxForLive Devices

Your installation of Ableton Live probably came with a bunch of MaxForLive devices. Take a quick look at what you've got - knowing that any device can be opened and altered.

7. The MaxForLive Devices (in Ableton)

The MaxForLive Devices are our basic building block - sort of our canvas for creating devices.

6. A Brief History of Max

Max has actually been around for a few decades - while MaxForLive is fairly new. It has a long and strange history - worth knowing about (and fun to talk about!)

5. MaxForLive vs. Max vs. Max/MSP/Jitter

The name of this thing can be a little confusing. I'll address that here just to get us all on the same page.

4. What We Can Do in MaxForLive

Lets talk a little bit about the possibilities of MaxForLive.

3. The 10K ft View

Next, I want to take a 10,000 foot view, and show you how MaxForLive works.

2. MaxForLive in a Nutshell

For starters, I want to just talk about the basics of MaxForLive, and show you what it looks like.
