Hello friends.
First I would like to say that I am MAX-beginner. 

I have idea to build an instrument:
1. By connecting the electric Yamaha violin,
2. By connecting the MIDI keyboard,

...and trough MAX get some nice sounds. :)
Well, except learning MAX is there any available material on the internet (webpages, youtubes...) or available books about that subject?

It goes through loads of the most commonly used objects, and goes through at a nice pace, I found it's very good for beginners getting into max/msp. And if you follow all the chapters through you will have a load of nice max/msp patches ready for live jammming!

Hey man I think this book is great: http://www.vjmanzo.com/clients/vjmanzo/mmjformusic.htm

these topics are covered step by step in the tutorial patches
