Here is an idea for absolute novices, like me: - Build exactly what is on the video - Delete it - Build it again from your memory, doesn't matter if it's exactly the same as before. - If you got it wrong, good, do it again - If you got it right, delete it and build another one What's up with all the deleting? You will only learn by doing it again. Soon enough you will create something that surprises you, but at first everything sucks (; Anyway, I guess I'm just following Oliver's advice anyway... but here is a testimonial: It works!
THIS THIS THIS! The things you will remember are the interesting bits, the things you forget are the bits you'll find cool new solutions / weird problems to solve. There's always a handful of ways to solve a problem in Max and this is the best way to explore different routes and learn along the way!
Thank you very much indeed. Oliver Thurley, this is a fantastic presentation. I play electric guitar (mostly) but have integrated with a Logic Pro based DAW for about 10 years now. I am barely proficient with the system and am not that keen on the Login plugins. I've messed around with 3rd party AUs (notably Surge XT, Vital, and Reaktor). I have only had max for a few days now and have been so blown away by the depth and scope of it that I have barely been able to touch it. Your teaching style is very easy to understand, delivered at a relaxed pace with the 'right' level of attention to detail, so thanks, Oliver, When I heard you questioning "What is a synthesiser?". That was great and got me thinking, ruminating and thought I would present you with a (dictionary) definition: • combine (a number of things) into a coherent whole Michael G Caverly
Oliver, thank you for making this video. I have just started trying to learn Max/MSP and there is so much to take in at the beginning. One of my main goals is to make my own synthesizers and this video was a fantastic tutorial. Going to go through the rest of the lessons, but wanted to express my thanks to you.
Love your videos Oliver! Very well explained. I want to build a 8 voice FM synth with 4 operators and dedicated ADSR, a pitch envelope and LFO. I think I can do it thanks to your videos. I hope you diving in the FM hole.. That is my favourite synthesis. :)
Interesting... well there's a lot of different ways you could try. Maybe simplest would be adding a small amount to the frequency using a simple [+ ] object after your main (coarse) pitch control. However, this won't track evenly across your frequency range. To do that, you'd probably want to get a reading in cents (1200 cents per octave), and then make your adjustment in cents... say +/- 50 cents... but I'll leave you to explore the different ways of doing that. Good luck!
This is insane, saw lots various versions of emulators including internal ones provided by DAWs, Max seems to be the most user-friendly. Is there way to export the resulted sound to .wav file at particular volume/velocity/frequency? Thanks!
it means, when the object receives something, it will [T]rigger a [B]ang and the input [I]nteger from the outlets. You can add other arguments to output more bangs or numbers or whatever...

I'm a musician and a software developer, and/but this is the first time that I totally grokked the basics of waveform synthesis. Thank you so much!
This helped me through the obligatory Max 8 assignments in school

this is the best video out there. Great job @oliver.
thank you for taking it to basics!..great vid..cheers.
Glad it was helpful!
This explanation is so professional!!!

Holy shit what a useful channel. Love your knowledge and how well you transfer it, very fun to work through

My cat bit me when the four sound waves began to sound hahaha
Much thanks bro, you are more than a teacher
Thanks for this one! I'm just getting started with MAX and it was fun way to learn some basics.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative video, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
when its all finished, how do you epost it out with a user interface ready to use in a music software package?
Thank you so much! :)
very good tutorial
Great video Oliver - question: how could we setup fine tuning for the oscillator?
Interesting... well there's a lot of different ways you could try. Maybe simplest would be adding a small amount to the frequency using a simple [+ ] object after your main (coarse) pitch control.

Well done
Is this how vst's are made ? Can this program be used to design and made as a plugin ? I'm new here just gathering some information. Thank you.
.exe only
You can use max as a plugin with ableton. Its called max for live.
can build with max arranger like Korg pa 600 or Yamaha?
love your work''
You're great 🦔
Thanks! 😀
can anyone share the link where i can download Max,i will be thankfull
1 year later. Were you able to figure out how to Google the word Max/MSP?
Man, how did you convert the object "gain" in a slider?
Not sure which bit you mean, but I generally use the [live.gain~] object for my gain sliders?
nice video
wow
❤️🥰❤️
brutal¡¡¡
\m/
what does the t b i bit at the end mean?
it means, when the object receives something, it will [T]rigger a [B]ang and the input [I]nteger from the outlets. You can add other arguments to output more bangs or numbers or whatever...
What is the little button/trigger thing you added around 36:00?
how can I use 5 oscillators at once?
Make 5 oscillator object and use them all at once.
