Audio visualization with multiple planes of video sprites in Jitter
By Andrew Benson
Recipe 6 from Jitter Recipes Book 1 https://cycling74.com/2006/02/06/jitter-recipes-book-1/
Example Output:
An increase in audio amplitude causes the video planes to dance out from the center of the display.

These are my versions of some of the patches. Not Cycling 74’s. If you find ‘official’ versions please let me know. The list isn’t complete. The simpler (beginning) patches are not included, but the interesting ones are.

Fractal geometry with Jitter.
By Peter Elsea
“Fractal geometry is the study of objects that have a property known as self- similarity – They are made up of smaller copies of the overall shape. One of the most popular is called the Sierpinski triangle”
The Max patches were developed (stolen) from Elsea’s lecture notes at http://peterelsea.com/Maxtuts_jitter/Fractals_in_Max.pdf. The first patch draws Sierpinski triangles. The second patch is generalized to circular shapes with N corners.

Drawing Lissajous curves with Jitter
By Peter Elsea
“Jules Antoine Lissajous (1822-1880) developed a technique for projecting light figures in the 1850s. He placed mirrors on tuning forks and bounced a light beam off them onto a screen. This became a standard technique for studying vibration and enabled major discoveries by Helmholtz and others.”
These two patches are adapted from Elsea’s lecture notes at http://peterelsea.com/Maxtuts_jitter/Lissajous_Art.pdf. The first patch generates curves with two sine waves assigned to X and Y. The second patch adds AM (amplitude modulation). There is an optional feedback module to make visual trails.
