Introduction to MaxMSP: Getting Started with Objects and Messages

This tutorial introduces the two most important concepts in MaxMSP: messages and objects. Messages are graphical widgets that the user can click on with the mouse. The mouse click causes the widget to create a piece of data, which could be a number, a word, or a few other different things. Objects are the real building blocks in MaxMSP patches. Each object carries out a different task. Objects require input data in order to function, and one of the ways they can receive this data is from messages.
