I'm going cross-eyed now that I've finally finished working through the fourteen thousand exercises in Chapter 03 of VJ Manzo's book Max/MSP/Jitter for Music. (Well, it felt like fourteen thousand. And, as VJ may drop in on this post, I'd like to emphasize that it's an excellent book and very thorough. I think I just tried to do too many at one go.) Anyhow, after an extended break to work on other pressing matters (like an academic job application), it's nice to be back into things. I can tell that Max has many, many more things in store for me. That being said, here's my progress report in pictures and video.
