I therefore enjoy experimenting with probability and random sequencers.

I mostly work in Ableton and try to create structured chaos there.

I saw an interview with Brian Eno on YouTube where he used an app to play 3 or 4 randomly selected files together from a folder of sound files.

These sound files were organized by the scale in which they were created, so that they matched musically when played together.

So, I would like to create something myself using Max MSP where I could execute the same principle as described above.

What are the functions of the Patch I want to create:

- These players share a common start and stop knob

- Each player is assigned to a file folder from which it randomly selects a sound file and starts playing it. - When a file finishes, the player randomly selects another sound file from the assigned folder and plays it.

- I would also like to see the name of the sound file that each player is currently playing, as well as the "filepath" where this file can be found.

- If a really nice combination of files were to arise while playing the random files, I would like a function where, with the press of a single button, the filename and "filepath" of the sound files currently playing are saved so that I can play them together again later or import them into a DAW to create a song.

I am fairly new to programming patches myself.

I have already discovered the "Sf Play" module, which I believe could be the appropriate sound file player.

The following problems/questions come to mind:

- How do I assign a folder containing sound files to the "sf play" module?

- How do I make it select a random file from the assigned folder and play it? -At the end of the file, how do I ensure that "Sf Play" immediately starts playing another random file from the folder?

-How can I ensure that I can always see the filepath of the file being played, as well as the file name?

-How can I save the current files with a single button press to play them again later? (Perhaps a list of these could be created?)

As you can see, a lot of questions/problems…

Who can or wants to help me further with this?

Once I am finished with the patch, I will gladly share it with the community!

Hey all, I'm trying to get this BEAP Arpeggiator to trigger from the makenote object, but when I connect the pack object output to the arpeggiator i only hear a continuous tone. 

What should the EXT Pulse receive from for the chickens be midi virtuosos? 

Any suggestions ?- note i know very little about MSP..QED.

is there a way to query the absolute filepath of a (or multiple)buffer in polybuffer~?

With the dump message it's supposed to give the path for each file, but I only get the filename where the path is supposed to be?

The reason why this is useful (at least to me) is it would make it possible to store the absolute file path in a coll. In M4L you could then switch presets or livesets and have the coll send the remembered absolute file path list to polybuffer~.

Ofcourse it would be possible to hack something together with readfolder, but it would be cumbersome and inefficient and would cripple the polybuffer~ capabilities.

I've been a happy user of nullmedium's dmxusbpro external for many years and now that I changed computer (mac M5) and upgraded to Max9 I cannot use it anymore.

I am testing jam.dmxusbpro but I seem to have some lagging issues (discussed in another topic with the most kind Jan, the creator of the external).

I have come across a small patch another user has created to use the serial object to control the DMXUSBPRO box that I'm using. The only problem is that the example only had 4 channels using a pak object.

I got lost trying to create a 512 inlet pak object and decided to ask a friend to create a js file to use in the patch instead.

Here is where I start having issues: the js file works if the channels created are less than 256.

the patcher I stole formats the incoming js abut seems to truncate anything above 256 whereas I need 512 channels.

I'm attaching the patcher (and the two js files needed) with some comments that hopefully will be useful, how would you change the "p format" subpatcher so that. 512 is not truncated?

I am trying to make a device that plays movie clips and that the user can drop or load a png image with transparent background to be overlayed on top of the video. I found a simple way to do it using jit.matrix and a fpic object that reads the image, but I can´t move the image around or resize it. Another option I tried was using jit.gl.videoplane because I understand have more controls over textures, but can manage it to work. I load an image with an fpic and then into jit.gl.texture and then videoplane, and the only thing I can see is a black square on top of the playing movie clip. Any help would be appreciated
