Multimedia Programming Using Max/MSP and TouchDesigner

By: Patrik Lechner

Overview of this book

Max 6 and TouchDesigner are both high-level visual programming languages based on the metaphor of connecting computational objects with patch cords. This guide will teach you how to design and build high-quality audio-visual systems in Max 6 and TouchDesigner, giving you competence in both designing and using these real-time systems. In the first few chapters, you will learn the basics of designing tools to generate audio-visual experiences through easy-to-follow instructions aimed at beginners and intermediate. Then, we combine tools such as Gen, Jitter, and TouchDesigner to work along with Max 6 to create 2D and 3D visualizations, this book provides you with tutorials based on creating generative art synchronized to audio. By the end of the book, you will be able to design and structure highly interactive, real-time systems.

Replicator COMP


The official documentation of Replicator COMP can be found at http://www.derivative.ca/wiki088/index.php?title=Replicator_COMP.

Let's consider some more simple examples, and then come back to the noises. Lastly, we'll consider an example using a replicator in combination with cloning.

The first example we will talk about is /project1/03_ReplicatorComp/simple. Here, we find the basic setup of a replication: Replicator COMP, Table DAT, and some other OPs to be replicated. Replicator COMP takes a so-called master operator, in this case slider1, and creates a copy of it for every row in the table referenced in the Template Table parameter. Create or delete some rows in DAT (right-click on it and select add/delete row, or use its rows parameter). You will see sliders appear and disappear immediately. Can we modulate this behavior? Sure, have a look at project1/03ReplicatorComp/DynamicExample. When you get all this, the rest of Replicator COMP's parameters should be quite straightforward...
