Project Proposal

What I intended to do

As a final project for this course, I will attempt to utilize what we’ve learned so far about Cycling ’74 Max MSP in combination with using a PS2 remote to generate some kind of musical aspect. Ideas that I have so far include using the buttons to on the controller to make certain sounds or initiate certain patches within Max. I’m leaning towards the idea of creating a Simon-like game within Max if I can get everything to work.

What skills I already know

I already know how to use Max to some extent, along with passing MIDI channels to other programs such as Ableton Live, and Acoustica Mixcraft. If I need to edit sound files, I can do that from within Audacity.

What skills are yet to be learned

Throughout this particular course, we have been learning a few things at a time with the Max program. Although it is not necessarily one of my favorite programs out there, this project will make me concentrate on using applications that I don’t necessarily prefer along with allowing me to create something interactive instead of just a composition created in Ableton Live.

Deliverable(s)

The final project should include a Max application file, along with any associated sound files needed. If I need to implement other objects not native to Max, I will be sure to include those as well. The entire project will be compressed into a .zip file and uploaded to myWPI.
