Max/MSP/Jitter Meditation Assignments:

Please place your meditation assignments on your project page. If they are very small (i.e. just Max patches with no media) you can also e-mail them to me as attachments.

Please name your mediations in the format:

[ID]_[Meditation Number]

Upload single files as Zip (.zip), BinHex (.hqx) or MacBinary (.bin); upload multi-file submissions as Zip (.zip) or Stuffit archives (.sit). For example, my version of the first meditation might be named:

rd64_1.sit

(remember, you must do three of these, and they expire after two weeks)

coming soon...

Random Stuff:

The Cycling'74 homepage. They make the stuff we mess around with.
