Getting Started
To use the project you need to install several things :
- Install the latest version of Max.
- Install python 3.x (tested with python3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11).
- Install spat5 package for Max. If you do face issues when installing spat, please refer to this guide.
Download the latest release: https://github.com/leohuet/MEN_GMU-Strategy/releases
Once the project downloaded, unzip it. Then, open the Max project by double clicking on ./Musique-echelle-nano/Musique-echelle-nano.maxproj. Once opened, the window should look like this :
Here, you can select the number of users needed (you can go up to 10 but I recommend max 5 users).
To simply use the data provided with the project, just launch the web interface, chose your audio output device, turn audio on, and you're good to go.
You now have access to the main control panel. It contains several steps :
- The first step is to generate the data and the heat maps from your xlsx data files. To that aim, check the "Step 1 : Data processing" panel. You will have to install the python dependencies. Then, drag and drop the folder containing the data files to the required zone. Finally, click on "Process files". More details in the Generate new data page.
- Once this done, you can launch the web interface used to interact with the system. More details in The web interface page.
- Finally, check your audio settings in the specific panel, with care to the output device. Don't forget to start the audio. More details in the Audio settings page.
