Max midi Machine

I am interested in how music affected heartbeat. Hence, I made a program using Max/Msp to generate two sound loops. One sound loop is to speed up heartbeat while the other is slowing down. I scale is based on my reaction to the two sound loops. It may vary with different people. There are four channels in the fast sound loop, and there are six channels in he slow sound loop. I think that fast and high pitch sound will make people nerves, so the heartbeat will faster. Slow and mid tone sound will clam people. Therefoore, Fast sound loop is stronger and louder, and slow sound loop is softer and slower.

The program screen shot are below:
