Instructions
Global description of the live-electronics
The Max patch plays some stereo sound files which are dynamically spatialized through 4 speakers placed around the audience, and mono sound files played through frontmost speakers . Sound files are triggered from a keyboard player on stage.
The keyboard is linked from the stage to the live-electronics computer in the control-room through a MIDI connexion. The keyboard player triggers MIDI notes together with the conducting, and MIDI program-changes to select different banks of sound files. Therefore the keyboard needs to have the possibility to send some MIDI program-changes easily. A Yamaha SY77 or KX88 model is recommended.
The role of the computer music designer is to set up the live-electronics, install and run the Max patch, monitor the MIDI input while following the score, and mix the live-electronics during the performance.
Please read the documentation files for further details.
