There is so much value in this book, I will try to highlight a lot of what I felt shined through for me. This review is more about the audio and synthesis side of this book.The book seems to be aimed at readers with a level of knowledge that stretches from an advanced beginner through intermediate skill levels. Going through Max example patches and the related reference docs has always been the best thing to do as a beginner. The documentation is great and has gotten better over the years. Even so, once one has put the time in with the docs, it is very helpful to have someone who is an experienced patcher to show some of the often unfamiliar visual programming patterns. This book fills that role very well. Though there is a lot of dense technical information, the author clearly elucidates how it all works together. Each chapter brings the reader step by step into the labyrinths of knowledge that is visual programming in Max.The early chapters present an indispensable discussion of foundational information for anyone who needs to get up and running with visual patching paradigms in Max. The author's techniques are not only useful in general, but also inspire the kind of thinking that visual programming really requires. Throughout the rest of the book, the subpatches / abstractions in his examples teach a lot on their own. For a motivated learner, there is a lot of time to be spent learning and understanding these. There is so much detail presented in patcher form alone, I recommend one keeps the chapter projects' windows open in Max as you move through the author's instruction. I know I will be digging through and experimenting with these for some time.
