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.

Audio synthesis


Awareness of these possibilities of viewing a signal and their constraints, and knowing how they actually work, will greatly increase our productivity. So let's get to actually synthesizing some waveforms. A good example of different views of a signal operation is Amplitude Modulation (AM); we will also try to formulate some other general principles using the example of AM.

Amplitude modulation

AM means the multiplication of a signal with an oscillator. This provides a method of generating sidebands, which is partial in a very easy, intuitive, and CPU-efficient way. Amplitude modulation seems like a word that has a very broad meaning and can be used as soon as we change a signal's amplitude by another signal. While this might be true, in the context of audio synthesis, it very specifically means the multiplication of two (most often sine) oscillators. Moreover, there is a distinction between AM and Ring Modulation. But before we get to this distinction, let's look at the following...
