4. Sequencing in MAX with detonate
Example of non-real time recording using detonate - week10-detonate2 (tutorial 44)
All note events and panning are calculated for each index sent from Uzi (1 to 1000) .
Everything is recorded by detonate. Once Uzi finishes, it bangs a start message (followed by a next message) that tells detonate to tart playing.

7. 306A - Music and Audio Computing
MAX Collectives
Single applications with grouped files:
One or more top-level patches (opened when the collective is opened) and sub-patches.
When a patch is saved as a collective, MAX includes any external objects and sub-patches shown in the top-level patch (!!!!)
Easily transferable but not easily editable!!

MAX Collectives
Hands on: Test different scripts (add patches, objects, and files - save them!)
Always test your collective (from another folder)!!
Sometimes you'll need to include patches, objects or files yourself:
Some MAX objects might require additional files to be input to the collective: coll, funbuff, movie, mtr, table…
Some patches automatics loaded (e.g. using pcontrol) may need to be included by hand…

9. MAX Collectives and Standalone applications
Collectives can be easily distributed and used with MAX or MAXPlay (free).
BUT: collectives can be combined with MAXPlay into a standalone application that does not require either MAX or MAXPlay!

10. Creating Standalone applications
Use the application installer to compile your collective into a standalone application.
Various options to select from: memory size allocated to the application, preset overdrive and all windows active,etc.
Option: Search for Missing files (recommended!)

11. Second Assignment - Due Nov 22 2001 noon
Produce a standalone application based on a timeline to control both internal and external events.
Objects to be included: cd/movie, lcd, bpatcher, seq, detonate, etc.
Use MIDI to control the timeline or as input to a sequencer.
