Beautiful software and tutorial.
Thanks

[@TheSuperAwesomeKAT]

I'm completely confused on what any of this stuff is supposed to do.

[@melocomanTV]

Generate audio and music from numbers/math/logic . It is very interesting as an alternative to analog music production. Which is controlled by voltage and circuitry. A normal DAW is basically doing what this is doing afaik but this gives you direct control with a visual language

[@Romaindeud]

Hi dear Andrew, the lesson you give are clear and helpful. I like them anyway because I'm working with Max one project. For example the switching words is simple and helpful. I have few technique to build my project, but I cannot code them to work monthly. Is it possible to communicate with you to get some solider technique for the purpose I have? I appreciate your reply on this matter. Thanks. Yours, Berhanemeskel

What does the "$1" mean next to your "set" function? at 19:52 min in your video

[@AndrewRobinson26]

The $1 is max’s way of creating variables. The $1 is replaced by the data coming into message, in this case that’s the text. So the text is output through the patch cord into the message “set $1” and the $1 is replaced so that the actual message being output is “set always”, “set check” , etc.

[@liamhardison]

What is the name of the object displaying the jit.noise signal?

[@AndrewRobinson26]

Jit.pwindow

[@shatteredsquare]

yes

[@aevin_io]

Thanks

[@sophiecooper672]

Good vid, not totally sure why you put $1 in there to randomise the set message, could you explain further please? (total newbie here!)

[@AndrewRobinson26]

The $1 is Max’s way of creating a variable. So if you have a “set $1” message and you send a random number like 15 it will update the message to “set 15” then if the next number was 42 it would update to “set 42” you’re going to need to use variables any time you need to pass changing values.

[@wheelersounds]

also the number after $ represents the item number, so $1 will use the first item in a list, $2 will use the second, etc

[@SeFu2006]

1.. 2.. 3... 4???

[@AndrewRobinson26]

I apologize for not having the other parts uploaded yet. People wanted to see more advanced max topics but it’s definitely time to return to this series, part 2 will be up this week.
