I had mentioned briefly that one idea for a season &#8220;selector&#8221; circuit was an almanac, a little book that the user could actually flip through to control the Max patch.  I figured this would be intuitive, interesting to create, and fitting for the fantastical theme I was aiming for &#8211; but I also figured it would be finicky and unreliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>But I was wrong!  With the help of some magnetic tape that (coincidentally) I bought last week, I was able to come up with a booklet prototype that required no direct user contact with conductive leads.  Essentially, closing a spread of pages would cause the magnet strips to connect and press together the positive lead (on the left page) and the ground lead (on the right page), thus simulating a key press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/books-859x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1140\" width=\"327\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/books-859x1024.jpg 859w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/books-671x800.jpg 671w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/books-768x916.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/books-252x300.jpg 252w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/books.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><figcaption>Top: Monday&#8217;s prototype<br>Bottom: Current version, with ground circuit tucked into the binding<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular setup created a tricky scenario, however: rather than having Max respond when a key was <em>pressed<\/em>, I had to make my patch respond when a key was <em>released.<\/em>  Furthermore, having a physical book instead of buttons meant that multiple pages &#8211; or all of them &#8211; could be left open at the same time.  I tried many different wiring configurations within Max to get it right, but ultimately I couldn&#8217;t fix it completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as is usually the case, my being caught up in the technical details caused me to push back the visual side of things until the end.
