Week 2 - Class Notes

Max/MSP:

• Objects - functions
• Messages - telling object how to behave

• Object with ~ = signal
• Object without ~ = message or control rate

• cycle~ object - constantly spewing output
• 44100 numbers every second - digital audio - samples
• Amplitude = multiplication/division
• Offset = addition/subtraction

Electronics:

• Current = flowrate - measured in Amps - I eg. 300A
• Voltage = pressure - measured in Volts - V eg. 330V
• Resistance = diameter (of pipe) - measured in Ohms - R
  
• Ohms law - V=IR, V/I=R, V/R=I

• Voltage drop across a resistor...
