1. Start with this YouTube Tutorial

Watch this if you missed class or need a refresher of the basic concepts. It even introduces some objects that we didn't cover yet but are great to know! Follow along in a Max patch of your own to practice as you go.

2. Look at some MaxMSP Cheat Sheets

Keep them handy as you're learning! Print them out or have them open beside you as you are working.
