Max/MSP
by Juan Parra Cancino 
3 EC / max. 10 students / time 10.00-16.00 / 

In the last few years, Max/MSP has become one of the most popular tools for designing systems of control and processing of audio and/or video in real time. During the course, we will present an overview of the system, the basic principles behind the 'graphic module-paradigm' in programming, how to create simple tools for sound and video transformation, and we will look at the possibilites of the system as a data flow generator, organizer and controller.
