I will point out, that this does not force anybody to use Max at all, I built my first looping instrument around hardware, I had a digitech 7.6 seconds delay, a SPX 1000 and a pitchshifter, patched together with a mixing board. I consider this to be a self built looper/instrument as well. (That time I didn't think in terms of loops...) Max is just making it more easy for me...

There are two ways of thinking harmony, the other one does not need to be let go... But whatever you learned what harmony has to be... forget it. It is obvious why counterpoint is the most difficult part of teaching composition, especially for those teachers who think it has to do with the ability to compose like Palestrina (they haven't experienced counterpoint yet themself, though Palestrina without doubt did know it!... ;-) > The four elements for me: > > 1) Dynamics > 2) Pitch > 3) Velocity > 4) Texture maybe 5) sound? but that could be texture... and for sure 6) emotion/connection/devotion...
