Electrasound

Hi, I've been reading Peter Elsea's BasicSynthesis tutorial and he has patches in the pdf file. The patches have the object Legato 100 60000 0. I tried typing it but it's not an object. What is it? Is that a subpatch? Can someone explain how it works.

Also, can someone recommend me tutorials to go through. Many times I feel very discouraged with composing because I am trying to find the right techniques to create sounds. The only programs I use right now are Adobe Audition, Max/MSP, AudioMulch, and very sparingly Csound which I'm poor at.

I believe you can download it here: http://arts.ucsc.edu/EMS/Music/research/Lobjects.readme.html

Do you know how I can get the objects working in Max/MSP. I downloaded a bunch of zip files, but I can't seem to make them work with Max/MSP. I don't think I downloaded the legato object either because I didn't see it in the zip. Do you know how I can add other objects and what zip has the legato in it? Thank you very much.

I'm guessing you're using max/msp on windows. Honestly I've never ever used max/msp on windows.

However, there's a readme file (Lobjects_Win_readme.txt) that explains how to install the Lobjects on windows. I'll paste the instructions here straight out of that readme file:

First make sure the files are truely unzipped:

Make an empty folder in C:Program FilesCommon FilesCycling'74externals

open the zip file, select all of the contents and copy to clipboard (control C)

paste them in the new folder. (control V)

Now pick out the help files (sort by type) and drag them to the new folder, then move it to

C:Program FilesCycling'74MaxMSP 4.3max-help

Second: You need a magic file in C:Program FilesCycling'74MaxMSP

I checked and the one you're looking for (Legato.mxe) is in Lpack_4.
