Open in it Max and ensure that all objects are available and working. Check the Max window for errors and other messages. Note that this patch is not very stable - choose an object or some objects and start your own patch!
Review each object by checking out the associated help file.
Choose one or more objects to work with.
Using the features involved in each object, create a short, automated composition lasting no more than a minute demonstrating one or more of these features. For instance, you might simply record your own voice and then manipulate it.
Include full instructions for how to use your patch within the patch itself.
Make a demo recording of your patch working. Please keep the size down to a minimum (maximum duration approximately 30 seconds). Use adoutput~ for the easiest way of doing this:

The Projects
The projects and tasks are designed to help you through the various courses and materials that you'll have to deal with, and also to provide an active and practical element to what could otherwise become a rather dry and technical exercise. Tasks are small exercises - you may be asked to complete one or two per week. Projects are larger and carry a higher percentage of the mark. We will undertake two, three, four or more projects and tasks. The final project is usually an individual choice project, and will be worth significantly more than the others in terms of percentages in your portfolio. We will usually try to set aside a time to perform the projects in a public setting.
