Max MSP is a program which allows for the ultimate freedom in creating new sounds and using technology to alter events in audio and video in real time. One of our classes as second year students (Interactive performance lab) teaches us how to create a signal chain between objects for the purpose of creating new sounds and adapt it to other forms of media. Some of the functions that i find extremely interesting right now is the creation of virtual instruments by manipulating a generated waveform and also mainpulating a video feed with a sound source. above you can see a picture of a synth that i created. There are five different waveforms that feed into a multiplication object from two seperate synths. Each waveform has a fader that can be adjusted to change the timbre of the sound. on the second synth there is an additional tool above each waveform which allows for fine tuning each waveform seperately. the result is an adaptive ring modulation control tool that can be used to create dark atmospheric drones and also be fully automated in ableton. My next max patch will likely be one that alters a video feed that is being manipulated by a sound source, hopefully to create some psycedellic imagery to accompany my electronic music. I used this synth in my peice "no safe place" the link is just below
