#MAX MSP JITTER VIDEO HOW TO#
Whether you want to create simple exercises for beginning performers or more complex programs for aspiring composers, this book will show you how to write customized software that can complement and even inspire your instructional objectives. This book will be of special value for everyone who teaches music at any level, from classroom instructors to ensemble directors to private studio instructors. The book also discusses ways to interact with software beyond the mouse and keyboard through use of camera tracking, pitch tracking, video game controllers, sensors, mobile devices, and more.
Through clear, step-by-step instructions illustrated with numerous examples of working systems, the book equips you with everything you need to know in order to design and complete meaningful music projects. Manzo provides a user-friendly introduction to a powerful programming language that can be used to write custom software for musical interaction.

It just takes awhile for everyone to feel comfortable with new identities and new forms of expression, i guess. there won't be these delineations between visual and audio artists, or vjs and djs(people might still focus on music or video but they won't be pressured by the rest of society to fit within that pedigree).
Plus, in general, the monome is an open-ended device which will allow you to control whatever you want whenever you want, so you never know when you just happen to pick up 64 video fingers or any other jitter based video app, play with it one night and all of a sudden find a few gigs here and there simply because you happen to be familiar with a technology that is unfamiliar to most.ĮDIT: and personally, i think eventually the way of the artist will be multidisciplinary by default. Jitter can also be used to enhance the onscreen GUI, although i don't know of any monome apps that utilize this, there may be many in the future as new concepts are being discovered(example, on c74 forums, there's recent talks of making step sequencer using jit.lcd). if you get deep enough, you can run audio-processing(effects) algorithms on your GPU while leaving all the timing/sequencing stuff up to Max/MSP on the CPU. jitter is handy for video but it can be used to process audio as well. Just to add: all three are definitely worth it. i knew nothing about this stuff when i came here, and i still know fairly little, but everything i know about building stuff like this on a computer came from getting my monome, way back in '06 (when all this was fields). also, there are a couple of monome projects that do use jitter (though their pretty rare - wolves or frost maybe).įinally, don't let a lack of experience disuade you. you may not use jitter that much, but, who knows where the journey will take you? you may well want to get into the whole video thing somewhere down the road. I can't remember the details of c74 pricing, but i seem to recall the price difference between max/msp and max/msp+jitter being relatively small. to buy just max is like buying a guitar with no neck. and so do some that produce only midi (parc). any monome app that produces sound (rather than just midi), requires it.
