Betreff: [cec-c] Max workshop (advanced topics) this summer in Belgium
Advanced Topics in Max will be dedicated to spectral processing. We will
examine how FFT analysis is implemented in Max and the format of the
data it produces. We will then explore techniques for using this data to
perform such operations as filtering, pitch shifting, frequency
shifting, filtering by amplitude (noise reduction, amplitude
equalization), spectral compression/expansion, time smearing, frequency
blurring, bin shifting, spectral delay, phase distortion, cross
synthesis (various methods) and phase vocoding (for time stretching and
freezing). We will concentrate on fully understanding these techniques
and on implementing them in such a way as to render them musically
compelling and practically useful. The course is open to all experienced
Max users.
Method. The sessions will combine lecture-demonsration-explanation with
collective, hands-on, practical instrument building. We will spend a lot
of time making patches together, so you should come away with a fair
amount of concrete practical experience.
You will need to bring a computer with Max7 installed, a set of
headphones, and a portable Midi controller (if you have one). (There
will be some headphones and controllers available for those who need them.)
Courses will probably be taught in English, but might alternatively be
taught in French (or Italian!), depending on the students‘ preferences.
