This ongoing clinic is open to all levels and gives the opportunity for feedback and troubleshooting in a supportive environment with an experienced technician. The Clinic will be structured with a brief opening presentation on the development, customization and user control of patches built in Max / MSP, followed by question and answers by the participants or the remainder of the session. Artists will be invited to present their projects to the entire group for a back and forth exchange of ideas.

Examples of techniques explored:

  • audio routing: flexible routing schemes with simplified controls
  • patch management: the effective use of sub-patches
  • performance optimization: avoiding crashes and audio metering
  • user interaction: midi controllers
  • plug-in building: creating standalone devices to use in DAWs
  • rewire support: using Max with other programs such as Ableton, Reason, etc.
