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.

Summary


This concludes our journey through the world of gen~. With gen~, we can export code by just using the exportcode message, which produces C++ code that is ready to use. In this chapter, we unfortunately couldn't explain the whole huge topic of signal processing, and therefore, you might feel a little lost in trying to come up with custom filters inside gen~. However, you now have all the knowledge about the tool you will need, so pick up a book about signal processing, and you can start off by building filters. Some very good material is presented later, and there is a wealth of design and analysis methods waiting for you.
