Let's get going!

1. download and install Max = https://cycling74.com/downloads​

   • you will need Max all semester, but you can begin with the 30 day trial ... then choose if you want to pay per month ($10/month) or annually ($60 for students) or for a permanent license ($250 once for students = best to buy now when you are a student!).

2. check out the many resources that help you learn Max = https://cycling74.com/get-started​

   • my favorite short series is "Did You Know? (2.0)" = https://cycling74.com/tutorials/video-series-did-you-know-series-2​

   • my favorite intro to Max is = http://darwingrosse.com/20Objects/​

3. in Max:

   • open it up and see what you can do ... I'll walk you through it during next class ... but sometimes it is fun to just get a little start on your own

   • start by finding the "MSP Sampling Tutorial 1: Recording and Playback" by going to Help > Reference ... then looking for MSP tutorials

   • also check out "MSP Sampling Tutorial 3: Playback with Loops" which will explain the groove~ object
