This patch is a chord maker patch, so far only making a major chord by using addition to add to the incoming note number another 2 notes.

If MIDI note 60 through 72 is played, it is a single note.

But if MIDI note 48 is held down it acts as a momentary switch, not a note, and makes a major chord.

Problem: Those extra notes created by addition for the chord stick if MIDI note 48 is released while still holding MIDI note 60 through 72.

How do I create the notes in a better way than by using addition? or silence the stuck notes?

I have the following patch that can play a scale base on the location of the mouse/user hand. 

How can I add an arpeggitor (without using noteout) that will play whenever this toggle is on:

so when this toggle is on an arrpegiator will play based on the note that is currently playing by the user. the arrpegiator degree can be selected manually. default is root minor third, fifth, and octave

Celestine is best described as a realtime granular processor, or, perhaps, a granular delay device.  It hosts a rolling buffer that is constantly listening to what you play, replenishing itself, and then spitting out grains and glitches based on what you feed it, making the device equally useful for live use, studio sound design, and even just finding happy accidents while you twist knobs.  It doesn't store audio for later.  It's all about the fleeting moments - the moment happening right now.  The present.

The device was inspired by boutique guitar pedals - the immediacy of instant sonic gratification.  While many granular devices rely on dropping a sample into a buffer, I wanted something that would feel more organic, more live.  Celestine is always listening, Celestine is hungry for audio. As I built this device, I was trying to imagine, "What would Chase Bliss do?".  I'm a big fan of their devices and they're a huge inspiration to me.

Celestine actually has two separate engines.  One, we'll call the grain engine, and the second we'll call the glitch engine.  The grain engine is what you might expect - a granular processor that turns the sounds fed into the device into tiny, micro grains, tiny shards of audio, then spits them out in clouds.  While granular processing is all about micro chunks of audio, you can think of the glitch engine as macro chunks.  It's also always listening, but spits out larger chunks of audio, which can then be processed by one of three algorithms (macro, up and down).

Rounding out the device, Celestine offers a hearty FX section featuring wave-folding distortion for rich harmonics, a bitcrusher that can go from subtle to digital decimation, a dreamy reverb complete with a freeze function, and the Magic effects panel seen in some of my other devices - a one stop shop to quickly alter the tone and timbre of a sound with one of seven artisanal multi-FX algorithms.

The device lends itself to melodics - vocals, keys, guitars and the like - but I've also had some nice results with percussive material.  It can be used both as an insert effect on a track, setting a nice balance between dry and wet, or as a send with the device set to fully wet, sending bits and pieces of various tracks to it.

I've put a lot of time into this one.  The development process took me about four months.  I'm asking $15 for it - I feel I could possibly ask for more, but I'm trying to be reasonable and treat this lovely community of musicians with respect - I know your money is hard-earned and I know that everyone is struggling in some way.  Your support will not only go towards the continued development of this, past devices and new ones, but also, more importantly, it'll go towards my family - putting food on the table for myself, my wife and our delightful obsessed-with-tractors toddler.  I feel very lucky to be here in this position, working from home, creating things to spark joy and inspiration for musicians.  It feels like my true calling.

Thanks for your time, for your support, and I hope you're having a very nice day. ✌️

I want to make a Stereo Waveform Display, with 2 waveform~ behind each other. The Waveforms don´t line up, the presentation rectangle is the same and the is no zoom. Why??

or is the another easy way to display a stereo buffer with its 2 channels?

tl;dr: I have a jweb object in my patcher with a custom UI implemented as a webpage, but it's unusable since keypresses get passed through to Live, so for instance if you hit spacebar, it does input a spacebar in the jweb page's textarea, but it also sends play/pause through to Live.

Is there a setting or a workaround to make this work?

Interestingly, if you set jweb render mode to "onscreen", every single keypress is passed to both the patcher and Live (i.e. pressing "a" inputs an "a" in the jweb page but also toggles Automation Mode in Live), but if you set jweb render mode to "offscreen", most keypresses are 

 passed through to Live, but spacebar is. In all cases, command shortcuts are intercepted and don't work in the jweb page (i.e. you can't press cmd+c to copy in the jweb page, nothing happens).

I've tried using JS to capture keypress events and do preventDefault and stopPropagation, but that doesn't help.

This happens in patcher popouts too, and I've tried various window flags like float, but it doesn't help.

If you open the patcher in the Max editor, it works as expected: jweb captures all keypresses and shortcuts and they're not passed through to Live.

Textedit objects of course work as expected.

This problem only happens on Mac, works fine on Windows.

To reproduce, you can simply add a jweb object to a patcher, pointing to

Migrating a project to Max 9 and [v8], I stumbled upon an issue with 

 using esbuild as a bundler to transpile TypeScript into 1 single JavaScript file.

But I also found a solution and wanted to share it - as other TypeScript related threads did not touch this.

esbuild src/testifyAttributes-bundle.ts --bundle --format=cjs --platform=browser --external:max-api --target=es2022 --outfile=build/testifyAttributes-bundle.js

  to protect polluting the global namespace, but for 

 to work, the additional lexical scope creates a problem in that the values can be accessed by [attrui] for example, but they are not updated.

2) assign every variable or function that otherwise would be "optimized away" by the bundler to globalThis

A working example can be seen in the attached patcher, which makes it also obvious that each [v8] instance has its own global context, which Joshua pointed out in the 

 - so globalThis has no influence on other [v8] instances.
