(1) Create and save a four (4) .aiff sound files in ProTools (or any other application with similar capabilities). Using the studio microphone, record the phrase "I don't want to" and then edit the file into four individual files "I," "don't," "want," and "to." Name them with a convention such as "I.aiff" and "don't.aiff".

(2) Create a MAX patch that will play back these files in order to create the phrases: "I don't want to"; "Don't I want to"; and "I want to". Also, include a method to vary the gap between the playback of each file, individually and globally.

Utilize the following MAX objects to accomplish this assignment (not all are necessary).

route
select
delay
message
slider
expr
if/then/else
funbuff

Utilize the Clue Menu (found under the WINDOW menu) to identify the objects available in the palette. Remember that you can use print statements, number boxes, buttons, etc. to debug your patcher. These items will help you track the program flow though the patcher.

BONUS: use the above concept to compose a 60 second musical gesture. These will be performed in class.
