OSC chat program – note: forgot to save this but it is essentially just two or more computers using [udpsend] and [udpreceive] to send text messages back and forth

Topics…
  • OSC
  • updpsend, udpreceive
  • serial
  • externals
  • terminal
  • curl
  • API’s
  • print, message object right inlet
  • Max window
  • attrui
  • clippings
  • prototypes
Useful things to know
  • Pasting patches from the c74 Forum into a patcher
  • Using externals (set Max path options)
  • Where are the examples? (inside the application)
  • Max For Live – Use it as a “shell” to give your patches Midi, audio production, recording, automation, etc.,
  • vignettes

 Assignment

Choose one of the Internet Sensors Projects and get it running. Tweak it to make it do something else, improve usability, or connect to another process.

Alternative: Design a Max interface to something outside of Max.

Assignment

Connect one of the projects you have already written to a patch that generates video, using Vizzie or jitter.

For example:

  • connect a control panel to a video effects processor
  • use the built-in camera to modulate audio (instant soundtrack)
  • use audio to modulate video (instant visualization)

How to get Youtube video into Max (jitter) using Syphon and Quartz

This method doesn’t work. Check out this link for a better way 5/2014

Original post…

[another update – having issues with video noise in the quartz viewer 12/2013 – have tried various obvious things without success – overall this is kind of a kluge anyway]

An update to previous post

1. Read this post about QC + syphon

http://cycling74.com/forums/topic/using-jitter-to-display-a-website/

Have installed this plugin with Quartz Composer

http://code.google.com/p/cogewebkit/

Now have installed a Syphon server example in quartz with a youtube video. Load this file:

tkzic/quartz/GoGe WebKit RC3/Example Patches/GoGe Players/Webkit Stuff/SimpleBrowser syphon.qtz

Then run the client example Max help file from Syphon:

tkzic/syphon/Max 6 Help/jit.gl.syphonclient.maxhelp

You will need to add the folder with the syphon externals to your max file path – in my case:

tkzic/syphon/
