Jersey Shore Ableton User Group welcomes Max4Live.info’s Michael Chenetz: Dec. 13th, Red Bank, NJ

With Max For Live on everyone’s mind the Jersey Shore User Group is gearing up for its second meeting where Michael Chenetz of max4live.info will be in town to break it all down. In Michael’s presentation you will be introduced to the basic concepts needed to program in Max For Live. What’s more, Chenetz will touch on: hardware interfacing, basic OSC and MIDI concepts, as well as going into the world of Max and MSP itself. Immediately following will be a Q&A session, so be sure to have a text file open ready to type your queries into.

After the skinny is doled out on M4L it will be time to open up the stage for members to strut their stuff. So finish up that Set you’ve been working on, pack the necessary peripherals and show us what you’ve been working on. There will be a kickin’ sound system manned by the house engineer ensuring you all sound your best—so, bring it on!

This second meeting follows a superb kickoff event hosted by Jersey Shore UG founder and Ableton evangelist Chris Buono at The Downtown in the heart of cozy, yet hip Red Bank, NJ where none other than Controllerism pioneer Moldover and his completely cool Octamasher were in the house. Check it out!

Future meeting topics will span the gamut. From Live basics all the way to juicing controllers like the Akai APC40 and Novation Launchpad. In the near future is a presentation from Jay Smith of Livid Instruments in which he will show users how to create a Live Set geared towards performance where his amazing Ohm64 will be featured and explained.

So come out and help continue creating a NJ-based digital community you can excitedly call home.
