Since I am a programmer and am passionate about music, this is really the only tool that I was missing. You help me understand the basics, thank you for that!
Hello Oliver, congratulations for your channel. REALLY important for people like me that day after day, discover new thing in this incredible software.
Great tutorial. Thanks for creating these. They are perfect. I think the way you explore different methods rather than over-explaining one really works well as max seems to be really about exploring the environment and seeing what works for you.
Hey, I am coming from the sampling instrument tutorial part 1. The Comments where turned off there. I just wanted to thank you deeply for your tutorial. It was really, REALLY helpful for me (a completly noob). Keep up the good work!
@@oliverthurleymusic just saw the granular synthesis one, so so so helpful!! thank you! can't wait for the polyphonies of grains, how soon is soon now? :D can't wait!
Hey there. Thanks for the video. I have a suggestion: In the slider sequencer example one way to work around the unwanted triggering of the midi note is to add an integer box so that the slider values are being received in the cold inlet and the bang running at the top triggers only the value integer box when it passes by the corresponding slider. Take care!
I am very late in viewing this video.... But this is among the best max tutorials! So I am very excited by these sequencing methods.... What I would like to explore is a way of storing in Max the patterns that appeal to me... I would like to store the patterns in a grid or container so that I can store, pick and remove patterns in real time. What would I use for that?
Hey Oliver, absolutely love your tutorials on Max! Just a doubt, how did you get your default piano sound changed to the one you're using from 6:35 - the "loopMidi" option? Since I can't find that option. I'm using Max on Windows and I use FL Studio as my DAW. Can't seem to figure out how to change the sound/midi from the default piano to whatever I want. Thanks!
I was running into the same problem, until I bought the intro version of Ableton,(cheapest) because then you can automatically run the midi output into Ableton to control whatever sound you have there, using the Max 1 or Max 2 channels. It's super practical, but I'm guessing there is also someone to connect it to other DAWs
I'm using Tobias Erichsen's free tool www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html I'm not sure how you'd hook it up with FL Studio, but it's pretty simple with Max + Ableton. You just double-click your [noteout] in Max and change the MIDI driver. Hope that helps?
@@oliverthurleymusic For some reason everytime I do that the note out wants me to change the name compared to bringing up the option menu when i double click
Enjoying the super clear vids, thanks! Have you played much with BEAP in Max? I find this package very intuitive for pulsar type sequencing (I come from a Buchla background, now toying with Max for precise advanced sequencing + triggers). Lobjects by Peter Elsea (An early Max developer) is another great but more unheard of group of objects that greatly improve on the standard Max objects, especially when thinking about mapping sequencers.
Is Max cpu efficient? I normally use Reaktor and that seems really efficient, but some recent posts on the Reaktor forums suggest that Reaktor 6 might be the last version NI release, so I'm looking to switch to something that has a future!
@@vladyslavb4866 it was a joke, these tutorials are well done, stop being an elitist, you're the one devaluing it by mystifying it and trying to exclude people, really lame.
That live.grid is visually appalling 🤣 Other than that really cool tutorial, thanks a lot!!! I'll check more of your stuff, though this I can use for my melody already :)))
Modulo explanation as if I was a baby: Alright, imagine you have a bag of candy, and you want to share them equally with your friends. The modulo operator helps you figure out how many candies will be left over after you share them. For example, let's say you have 10 candies, and you want to share them with 3 friends. You give 3 candies to the first friend, 3 candies to the second friend, and 3 candies to the third friend. Now you have 1 candy left. That's what the modulo operator tells you - the number of candies left over after sharing them equally. In this case, 10 modulo 3 is 1, because there's 1 candy left over.

Why not SuperCollider?
Hello Oliver, congratulations for your channel. REALLY important for people like me that day after day, discover new thing in this incredible software.
Thanks so much Oliver! I’m really starting to understand Max now.
Thank you for creating this creative, helpful video, Oliver.
Glad it was helpful!

Glad you like them! Thanks!
I just picked up Max 8, and this intro has gotten me hooked. Your video is the first thing I found on here. Thanks for sharing.
2 years later. Are you still using Max?
Great tutorial, really nice to have a tutorial made by a composer rather than a techie for a change..!!

Thank you for these great tutorials. I made it to this last video and acquired a lot skills of programming Max/MSP.
Thank you very much for this tutorial. Will be viewing it again, to then test some things out to learn MAX.
Thank you for the video. I clicked the bell button after you said "Mark Fell"
Awesome! Thank you!
Extremely Helpful, Thanks, Oliver.
Best max tutorial super clear! 🤜🤛
Excellent! Well done, clear and fun!
Thanks a lot! Very instructive & easy to understand...
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making this!
Thank YOU for watching!
So good! Many things to ponder from this great tutorial.
Great vid! Still waiting on part 2 of the granular synthesis though :D
Coming soon!
same haha

Love this tutorial! Would you mind explaining how you get the notes to stay in key?
thank you so so much for this
Glad it helped!
Nice tutorial and ideas, I liked it. Why multislider didn't output note values of chromatic scale?
Fantastic! Nice job!
Thanks a lot!
Hello Oliver. First off, great tutorial, thanks so much! Can you please tell me how you cleaned up your cords at the 14:20 mark?
Never mind, I found it! Cmd+Shift+Y :)

Hi Oliver , great explaining. How do you route max midi to Ableton live ?
hold control/command and left click to change the source of output from Max to Ableton, it's probably just Max
How do you make this start at 1 with the transport of Ableton?
Awesome tutorial, thanks!
Love your videos ❤
Super helpful thanks a lot!!!
I am very curious about how you set up the Ableton sound effect, can you share how it works?
Best video on this thank youuu🎉
Glad you liked it!!
great video, thank you so much
How do you keep the lines connecting the texts neat like how you kept things neat at 14:16

Thank you for sharing. Is there a link to the sequencer?
Just follow along and build it yourself. That the point in tutorials.
How to add fetch argument? I'm using 8.5.5 but it doesn't recognises the fetch!
amazing. thank *YOU*
thank you so clear
brilliant vid! cheers
aaahh i love your tutorials!
can you tell me how to change the sound in max mps of abelton?
This is amazing
10:50 your facecam is covering what you are tweaking and I dont see what you are describing so I'm a bit confused there, otherwise great vid!
He's in the inspector menu of the multislider, changing the number of steps to 8 and then changing the range of the Y axis for the midi relevant data
i see
Didin't realise it was so easy to turn on Mark Fell mode
autechre/snd mode is just TWO [random] objects!
@@oliverthurleymusic this is not random man
