Make your first Max for Live device in 30 seconds (or 30 years)

The audience for this video: people who are excited by the idea of Max for Live, but also find it sort of scary. (This used to be me. Sometimes it still is.) We'll build a proof-of-concept (but not very interesting) Max for Live device from scratch in 30* seconds, and then talk about what you can learn from doing this. We'll also look at how you might instead spend 30 years building a Max for Live device (but why it's probably not a very good idea).
