Required Audio Equipment

  • Computer: Mac Intel running OS X 10.4 or higher
  • Max/MSP version 5.0 or higher
  • Audio Interface with at least 2 – 4 outputs
  • Mixer with at least 2 – 4 inputs/outputs

If Max/MSP is not installed, the performance patch can be executed on the Runtime version of Max/MSP available from www.cycling74.com.

Amplification of the alto and bass flutes is optional but recommended especially in
larger concert halls and performance spaces. The use of a headset microphone
(near lip plate) and air microphone (at the foot of the flutes) reinforces the sound
of the lower flutes including extended techniques such as tongue rams.
