Investigate mapping between parameters.
You will need:
- Arduino with a sensor connected to Max, SuperCollider or some other relevant application.
- I would suggest using a potentiometer, light dependent resistor or something similar.
- Choose a Max patch. It could be one you've developed yourself or one that you've found. It could simply link through to a channel or plug-in in Logic or be a Max for Live instrument in Ableton.
- Choose two parameters that you're interested in mapping. Implement these, either together or separately and give a short written or recorded account of why you chose the mappings that you did.
- See if you can find other examples of interesting (or bad) mappings using technologies.
 The Task
- Make a working circuit and choose one of the following mappings to investigate:
- Experiment with different resistors, capacitors and ways of interaction and output and fully document these.
- Document the process with plans, photos and, yes, videos of it and of it working!
- Media files
You must submit media files, such as video, audio or image files, but please ensure that video files are compressed to a reasonable degree. You should never submit dv files, but compress these to mp4. You should submit no file that is greater in size than 25MB/minute.
- Added value
By completing the details of the task you will achieve at least a pass mark. By imaginatively and creatively considering how you might implement the task originally you can add value to your submission, and this added value may increase your mark significantly. Even when making videos of short demonstration tasks try to consider musical and performance criteria.
- Suggested questions to consider answering in your logbook
- You may find that this circuit is particularly sensitive to voltage and capacitance. After experimentation did you find the to be true? Explain your findings.
- Include all these components in one section of your logbook. Include images within the logbook, and any audio or video recordings alongside.
- Submit your logbook to the i-Centre by 2pm on Tuesday 8th May 2018
