Final Project Ideas

Things I definitely want to learn to do in Max, eventually:

-analyze audio input for pitch information, have Max respond based on that:  People have made objects you can download, like sigmund~     **also consider amplitude tracking

-automatically change parameters of sound based on darkness/lightness (alpha values) or colors of movie

-improvise live with a sampler (preloaded samples, effects)  **I'm told UCI doesn't have a sampler to be checked out--also, if there were, I wouldn't be the only person wanting it--I'd have to go ahead and get a SoftStep**    **go to AMC for MIDI controllers w/ appropriate software**    **look into other MIDI pedals/pedal boards**

-design my own loop station for live performance, with a few extra features (pitch shift, time shift)

-solo piece for voice and Ableton/Max

-solo sample piece using only sounds from saxophone



I'll have to see if I can buy Ableton before the quarter ends.  If I buy it soon, I'll look into possibilities for customizing a loop setup, and I can perform with voice and/or saxophone that way.  If I'm unable to buy Ableton soon, I'll work on having Max analyze pitch input.  That would be valuable for future projects.
