Presentation

The electronic part consists in sound files played from max/msp, triggered by the conductor with a midi pedal.

The events to trigger are written on the scanned score.

An audio click track for the conductor is used in some parts of the piece.

There is no sound inputs.

There are three sound outputs: channel 1-2 for stereo front, and 3 for click-track

The mixing indications are written in the score.

An external reverb must be used for instruments (see mixing instructions in the score).
