Come and spend some time diving into the powerful world of Max for Live. This is a hands-on workshop; by the end of the class you will have built your own audio effects, incorporated video processing into a Live set, and built unique controls using the camera, the Kinect, and anything else we can think of. You will also leave with a starter kit of Max for Live programs you can play with and customize for your own performances and composition.

When Cycling74 and Ableton teamed up to release Max for Live, it suddenly became possible to do unheard of things inside Ableton Live. Max for Live lets you turn Ableton into a live video performance system, build your own Live instruments and effects from scratch, control faders and dials with a wave of your hand or the motion of a dancing crowd, sidechain any effect to anything… the possibilities for new creative expression are stunning.

Software Required: Ableton, Max for Live, and Max. Please note that Max — not just Max for Live — is required if you are interested into doing video processing inside Ableton.
