Ribosome patcher - help with poly~

Here is the ribosome patch I've been working on all semester - I have put off uploading it because I kept wanting to make it better, but I hope you can live with this version for now. It does have a fairly decent implementation of poly~, as well as Emmanuel Jourdan's script for quickly loading a folder of samples for use with sflist~. You can get it here, I hope it works!

Rainy day convolution patching

A very nice redone version of the "Forbidden Planet" example patch by Max guru Gregory Taylor (no relation unfortunately):

Assignment 8, due Monday, Oct. 31

In class today I'd like us to record some samples - anything. I'd like to ask Nikita and Natalie to bring their instruments, and we'll take turns setting up our laptops to record some nice samples.

Then, we'll upload links to the samples here on the blog. For next week, I'd like you to come up with a patch using poly~ that uses these samples in some way. I hope this can be a way to spur new ideas as you start working on your final projects. If we have time, we can look at processing these sounds in programs like Logic, as well as Max.

So I'm putting off the NCSA field trip until next week (again). Sorry about the change! But I think this will be a way to learn poly~ that is more inspiring than some artificial exercise.

Video processing .

Assignment for Wednesday, October 19

Sorry everyone, I've been without wifi all week; but I want to remind you that we're not having class today since I'm driving home from Minneapolis. For Wednesday, please make a patch using Jitter in some way - I've been having fun with the Dobrian example patches. See you Wednesday!

Christopher Dobrian's Max examples

Professor Chris Dobrian from UC Irvine, the author of the original Max documentation, has a terrific collection of examples from his own computer music course. Lots of excellent material here; we'll be using some of it in class.
