    This document provides a list and brief description of various Max/MSP objects used for sound synthesis, including: - Arithmetic operators for Max and MSP that perform multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction on numbers or signals. - The append object, which adds its argument to any message it receives and outputs a list. - The buffer~ object, which allocates memory to contain a sound. - The button object, which generates a bang on each mouse click and flashes to indicate this. - The comment object, which allows adding captions but does not perform any functions. - The curve~ object, which functions like line~ but requires a third "curve parameter" that

    LIST OF MAX/MSP OBJECTS USED IN THIS CHAPTER

    Max arithmetic operators


    * Mu ltip ly numbers on the inlets of the object
    / Divide numbers on the inlets of the object
    + Sum numbers on the inlets of the object
    - Subt ract numb ers on the inlets of the object
    For all of these operato rs, t he fi rst operand is the numbe r on the left inlet, whi le
    the second operand is the argument (or else the number on the right inlet). These
    objects are listed among the math operators in the Math menu of the object list.

    MSP arithmetic operators


    * - Signal mult iplication
    /- Signal division
    +- Signal addition
    -- Signal subtraction
    In all of these operators, the fi rst ope rand is the signal, which enters via t he left
    inlet, wh ile the second operand is the argument (or the number o r signal on
    t he right inlet). These objects are listed among the math operators in the MSP
    Operators menu of the object list.

    append
    The append object adds its argument to w hatever message it receives. Its
    outlet produces a list composed of a received number or list, followed by its
    argument, which is always at the end of the list o n t he out let.

    buffer-
    This object allocates memory th at can contain a sound . See also g lossary 2P.

    button
    Generates a bang on every click of th e mouse, and transfo rms all messagesthat
    it receives into a bang on its own out let, flashing to indicate this.

    comment
    (comment box)
    Al lows the additi on of captions to a patch. The object doesn't carry out any
    fu nctions other than comment ing upon the program.

    curve-
    Functions like line-, but requires a t hird paramete r called th e "curve
    parameter" wh ich is sent along with a value and a time to be spent reaching
    the value, and wh ich varies between -1 and 1. The curve parameter indicates
    d ifferent gradations of curvatu re: positive values indicate an exponent ial curve,
    negat ive values a logarith mic curve, and the value O w ill generate lines th at are
    identical to those produced by 1 ine-.

    cycle-
    An oscillator which produces a wave that is by defa ult sinusoidal.
