This page contains links to programming examples for: Seminar in Music Technology Music 215 — Spring 2014 University of California, Irvine The examples focus on techniques of interactive arts programming using Max. The examples were written for use by students in the Music Technology course at UCI, and are made available on the WWW for all interested Max/MSP/Jitter users and instructors. If you use the text or examples provided here, please give due credit to the author, Christopher Dobrian. The page of Max examples from last year’s class also includes links to the examples from prior years’ classes, totalling hundreds of examples in all. All previous years’ class examples, as well as many more examples I’ve posted on the Cycling ’74 Max forum, are slowly being collected into a single WordPress website (in progress, completion date unknown).
Examples will be added after each class session.
