This is the second in a series of three volumes dedicated to digital synthesis and sound design. It is part of a teaching method incorporating a substantial amount of online supporting materials: hundreds of sound examples and interactive examples, programs written in Max, as well as a library of Max objects created especially for this book. Structured for use in university courses, the book is an overview of the theory and practice of Max, with a glossary of terms and suggested tests that allow students to evaluate their progress. This book will provide a reader with skill and understanding in using Max for sound design and musical composition.

"With their Electronic Music and Sound Design: Theory and Practice with Max/MSP (...) Alessandro Cipriani and Maurizio Giri have produced a series of "interactive and enhanced books" that present the student of computer music with the finest and most comprehensive electroacoustic curriculum in the world. By "illustrating" the text with a wealth of figures and clearly explained equations, they take the reader "under the hood" and reveal the algorithms that make our computing machines "sing". By using David Zicarelli's incredibly powerful and intuitive media-toolkit - Max/MSP to create hundreds of synthesis, signal processing, algorithmic composition, interactive performance, and audio analysis software examples, Cipriani and Giri have provided the means for students to learn by hearing, by touching, by modifying, by designing, by creating, and by composing. (...) I firmly believe that this series by Cipriani and Giri, these "interactive and enhanced books", (...) set the stage for the next generation of innovators. (...)In Electronic Music and Sound Design, Cipriani and Giri feed the hands, they feed the ears, and they feed the minds of the students in ways and to a degree that no computer music textbook has ever done."

From the Foreword by Richard Boulanger

A must have text.

February 15, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I am an Arts Technology student. In some of my classes, the subject matter is about sound design using Max6 (Max/MSP). The tutorials that come with the software are close to being useless in actually understanding the software. When I found the first volume of Cipriani and Giri's book I purchased it in the hope of alleviating my confusion. It accomplished that and a whole lot more. I like the dual chapter format (theory/practice) which provides detailed instruction on what the chapter is about while coinciding with the how to. After having read volume 1 twice and implementing what I learned, I realized that I desperately wanted the next volume. I was very pleased that it was finally released and I bought it four days later. I am now half way through this volume and can hardly wait for the third volume. I highly recommend these books for anyone interested in learning about sound synthesis; especially those who are new to Max6.

This is a great book for Max users. Updated for Max 7. Not a big change if you have previous edition. Lot of technical info and useful examples.

I'm studying audio engineering at ITESM and Max is one of the programming languages that is used throughout the entire career.
These two volumes are the absolute best resources I've found to learn not only this programming language but also found it to be a great resource for sound design. The examples in the book are explained with so much detail that sometimes I don't even use the externals that come with the books.
I'm really looking forward to the third volume.

Would just like to add to the all the positive reviews. This book has taught me more than multiple classes and tutorials put together. If you want to learn Max/MSP, just get this as well as the first volume. It's everything you need to basically get the tools to do whatever you want

This series is probably the best resource of Max/MSP that you can buy.
I haven't finished this one yet, but I already love it. I've learned more with Vol.1 (and a few hours into Vol.2) than a semester in college.
I'll buy Vol.3 blindfolded, whenever it comes out.
