Programming with Max/MSP/Jitter - Beginner workshop 4 Days 
Max/MSP/Jitter is a programming language with a graphical interface to 
connect sound synthesis, sampling, MIDI, video and Open GL 3-D graphics, 
sensor electronics, network-communication and more. 
Based on a concept similar to modular synthesizers Max/MSP/Jitter is 
relatively easy to learn, suitable for small applications (i.e. 
converting mouse movements into midi messages) and complex combinations 
of various electronic media (i.e. the computation of a realtime score 
based on the pulses of the participating musicians. see 
http://www.heartchamberorchestra.org) 
The workshop gives an introduction to the concept of Max/MSP/Jitter and 
shows how to work with sound and visuals: 
MAX: 
* Introduction to the concept and user interface of Max 
* How to control Max patches with MIDI controllers 
* How to control external instruments from Max via MIDI 
* How to build a sequencer in Max 
MSP: 
* Recording of external sound sources 
* How to play and control sounds 
* How to build instruments (sampler, synthesizer) 
* Possibilities of sound editing: filters, effects, analysis, 
automatisations,... 
* How to use VST Plug-ins (effects and instruments) 
JITTER: 
* Playing, mixing, recording movies 
* Jitter matrices 
* Drawing in Jitter 
* Color tracking 
* 3-D Open GL with Jitter 
MAX/MSP/JITTER: 
* How to interconnect sound and visuals 
Programming with Max/MSP/Jitter - Advanced workshop 5 Days

works, some experience with patching and problem solving.
Anyone interested in developing a specific project is encouraged to do so. 
ADVANCED MAX/MSP/JITTER: 
* Discussing project plans of workshop participants 
* Dealing with all topics of the beginners workshop on a more advanced
