 About inputs/outputs and diffusion

Live percussions and the voice of the player must be sent respectively to adc1 and adc2 of Max/MSP.

In the Max/MSP patch, the recorded percussions and voices are sent to outputs 1 to 4 ; spatializedlive and recorded percussions and voices are sent to outputs 5 to 8.Outputs 1 to 4 & 5 to 8 should be set to produce two superimposed quadrophonies diffused aroundthe audience.

The cd-rom includes all software and soundfiles needed to play the piece.

It consists of a so-called collective that does not requires a ful installation of Max/MSP. It allows tomodify parameters and saves faders values, but not to change the program.
