Chapter 1P - Sound synthesis with Max/MSP 1P The command equivalents of undo and redo are and on the Mac and and on Windows. 16 HELP This book is self-contained: within it you will find all that you need for understanding and using the patches with which we illustrate Max/MSP synthesis and signal processing techniques. But the Max/MSP environment also provides extensive illustrative materials that can be accessed by selecting the Max Help item from the Help menu. When you select this item, you will obtain the window shown in Figure 1.13 (which may be quite different looking in different versions of Max/MSP). Fig. 1.13 The main help window In the middle part of this window are many resources for getting to know Max/MSP, and in the column on the right side of the window are some tutorials that will teach various aspects of programming and briefly illustrate some techniques for sound synthesis and signal processing. If you want to take a tour of Max via its help system, we recommend beginning with the article named “How 16 is the modifier key used to type capital letters. from “Electronic Music and Sound Design” Vol. 1 by Alessandro Cipriani and Maurizio Giri © ConTempoNet 2010 - All rights reserved 63
1.1 64 Practice Paragraph 1.1 - First steps with Max/MSP the Documentation Works”, which you will explain how to move between the many sections and how to find discussions that will be pertinent to your own needs. We reiterate, though, that while it may be helpful, taking such a tour is not absolutely necessary for the comprehension of this book. There are also help patches for all of the individual objects found in Max. When you are in edit mode, on an object (without dragging), and a help patch relevant to the clicked object will open. This patch will be fully functional, and will summarize the principal characteristics of the object. while in edit mode on the cycle~ object, for example, will bring up the help patch seen in Figure 1.14 (which again may be quite different in different versions of Max/MSP). Fig. 1.14 A help patch As you can see, many different characteristics of the cycle~ object are explained by this patch. A menu at the bottom right of the window under the See Also label extends the scope of the information, by providing a way to call up additional help on objects that are related to cycle~, or are often used with it. Clicking on the items in this menu will open either additional help patches for related objects, or tutorials in which the target object is used, and which can be tinkered with to increase your understanding of the object. Another resource in this window is a link to the reference manual, entitled open cycle~ reference, which can be found at the very top of the help patch on the right. Clicking on this link will bring up a reference page that explains in great detail all of the characteristics of the cycle~ object. Such reference pages are very useful for discovering and/or remembering details needed for your patching activities. Whether or not you read the deeper explanatory material contained in a help patch such as this one, we still recommend that you take a peek! They are working patches that can teach a great deal about the practical techniques and specialized vocabulary used in Max. from “Electronic Music and Sound Design” Vol. 1 by Alessandro Cipriani and Maurizio Giri © ConTempoNet 2010 - All rights reserved
