Abstract

Interactive music using Max/Msp has been extensively used. The Java environment allows for interface of Max/ Msp to other software and firmware applications much easier. In this paper we will demonstrate the integration of Android phones, Arduino micro-controller, Max/Msp and Processing under Java environment for controlling the music and graphic image simultaneously that can be used in installation art applications. The system uses a HTC Desire Z to control a pre-designed Max/Msp patch running on a PC through Arduino interface. The patch is functioning as a musical effect controller of three facets: volume, reverb and tremolo. These three parameters of Max/Msp are then linked to control instantly the graphic images developed by the Processing [1]. We detailed the how-to-do-it procedure. Among them, the Amarino [2] APP is used for linking the HTC phone and Arduino; the oscP5 [3] is used for linking the Max/Msp and Processing.
