The MAX composition
AB_NORMAL QUARTET
the old MAX screen of the active processes transport-rows-patchers
A quartet needs 4 players ! So I could need just four rows.
But to keep the idea of a dominating first player, I split it into 3 rows ( pointillism) .
I think a general melodic line has played out
.
The classic form of a quartet is the over two hundred years grown
"string quartet"
the first "LINE" of my computer piece I called the"three maccis series"
The second line is made from the specially constructed soundlayer
The third line takes its materials from the sitar sound characteristics and effects
the bass line consists of a number of different bass sound collections
I played cello during my life from simple Haydn basses to the most modern Cello handlings

The technical side of the positions for the two joysticks
There is one "Head" that you can push forward or backwards 1 to 8000 , 1 to - 8000
You can turn it 1 128.or 1 to - 128
And there is the one slider to choose any value 1 to 255
Those activities coordinate the flexible outputs
Tip
A very useful patch to manipulate the values is the "SCALE"
scale 1 8000 1 4000 transforms the input of 8000 to the output of 4000

This is a transfer situation of of the different time points
WHEN I OPEN THIS DISPLAY I CAN SEE THE CONTENT of my patch
And here I can control the actual event activated in the special row
