OpenMusic Tutorials
Tutorials
Some of these examples were part of the first OpenMusic tutorial written by the composer Jaccobo Baboni that we would like to thanks for letting us use them, as we found them very instructive and enriching. Other examples were made by ourselves.
At last but not least, we would like to thank a lot all the RepMus team Gerard Assayag and Carlos Augusto Agon, creators and conceptors of OpenMusic for their precious help, invaluable support and encouragement. Special thanks also to the composer Markus Buser who had the patience and the kindness in proof reading our tutorial.
–Karim Haddad and Mikhail Malt, 2001
The original OM tutorials were written by Karim Haddad, with patches by Jacobo Baboni, Mikhail Malt, and Karim Haddad. I’ve edited them for clarity and regrouped them by theme and complexity, which should be more approachable for the new user.
–Matthew Lima, August 2003
You can use the Last Saved function in the menu File->Last Saved in the patch view to restore the patch to its original condition, provided you’ve not saved it yourself. This is useful since OM has no Undo function.
