If you ever want to learn to write externals for Max, I would recommend starting out by learning to write Java classes for the mxj object. It’s a good way of learning what needs to be in the code for the external while avoiding the more nitty gritty details of C coding.
mxj and Java is truly great for prototyping code and externals. The screenshot above is of a patch and class I made yesterday as prototype/proof of concept code for Espen Sommer Eide to solve a particular task in an iPad app that he is currently developing.

Sound can be one of the principal channels conveying information, meaning, and aesthetic/emotional qualities in interactive contexts. The twelve works in this exhibition showcase the use of Sonic Interaction Design within arts, music and design, and also provide examples of sonification for research and artistic purposes.
The exhibition was collocated with the permanent Music Technology exhibition at the Norwegian Museum of Science, Technology and Medicine in Oslo.
