NIME 2014 (New Interfaces for Musical Expression)

Please note, attendance to NIME 2014 workshops is by registration only. For more information on how to apply, please visit: http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/learning-to-program-haptic-interactions-using-max-applications-with-sound-tickets-11441165835

In this workshop, participants will learn how to program force-feedback haptic interactions in Max. During the workshop, each participant will borrow a FireFader haptic device with the option of purchasing it at the end of the workshop. This workshop aims to get participants easily up to speed by examining simple example haptic interactions in the familiar Max programming environment. Many of these examples are based on physical models and leverage Max’s palette of visualization objects to help communicate the means of operation to participants. More advanced examples help provide participants with specific insight into how haptics can be integrated into novel music compositions and sound art. Several music compositions will be used as examples: "Metronom," "Transmogrified Strings," "Engraving–Hammering–Casting," and "When The Robots Get Loose."
