There is something (well, probably a lot of things) that I don't understand about alpha blending in 

 and rgb2luma it to replace the original alpha. A jit.alphablend proves to me that the alpha is being calculated and processed correctly.

Then I pass the alpha-ized matrices into 

.gridshape correctly renders the RGB planes if @blend_enable is off.

I've got a green background at 0, 0, -0.1, and the texture is being applied to a 

.gridshape (plane) at 0, 0, 0. What I thought would happen when I enable blending is that the green background would shine through the low alpha areas. That is, if the texture makes parts of the shape transparent, shouldn't you be able to see through that to whatever is behind?

Instead I saw a couple of different behaviors: either the gridshape simply disappears (which I'd say could be like the alpha channel is being treated as all 0, but, can't see why), or it turns gray and doesn't show the texture at all.

I tried several different blend modes but none of them do, well, 

. I got a whole bunch of weird gray scale manipulations but nothing intuitive.

I'll admit here to not being confident in OpenGL basic concepts (I'm an audio guy, poor visual arts sense, 

 a graphics specialist at all), but, when I used transparent textures in Pd+Gem, I could just see right through the object as one would expect. So clearly OpenGL can do it, just not with the default settings in Max.

I am sending a pic through fpic to a jit.gl.videoplane and trying to control the pic position in the jit.world. There is no problem when I change the x and y axis, but z axis have no effect at all. It seems very straightforward, but it doesn´t do anything. Maybe someone can help me to understand what is going on?

I have a new project that relies on multiple audio stream sources via a VPS server. The pipeline for each stream is as follows: Icecast > audio/ogg > Opus > 48 kHz stereo // in other words: RPI > Icecast Opus > ffmpeg > PCM.

For now, I only have a single audio stream module that works perfectly, and I’d like to test multiple sources using the working URL I have.

Next, I want Max to connect to the server to process each audio stream through different inputs, but I can’t find a solution. I’ve tried LoopBack and BlackHole, but I can’t differentiate between the streams—they’re all mixed together. Do you know of a way to do this?

when I bang it I get 1569030816. So this smells like a 32-bit resolution problem.

When I replace the 10 with an inlet and supply the value of 10 from outside it works though.

I have a codebox with this "formula"

out1 = 1874890000 * 10;

With M4L it's possible to trigger "session record".

->it will record clips on all armed tracks if the slot is empty

  and if a slot is not empty, the alredy playing clip that it containes will be overdubbed.

I am looking for a way to do the same but not for all armed tracks but just the ones I choose.

It's easy with the "fire" function but it will record in empty clips and

with already playing clips the function will just play the clips and not overdub them

with M4L how to overdub in a playing clip without using the 'session record" function as I want to exclude some armed tracks from the process...

When I export my patch, my MIDI device controls it without a problem. When I power off the Raspberry Pi and on again, it doesn't receive MIDI anymore. I try to unplug-plug back the controller to the Raspberry PI but there is no action. 

Auto connect midi option is on. And the controller works fine. 

I'd appreciate it if you could give me a hand.

I know it gets brought up every once in a while, but I thought I'd post again to see what the interest was out there for getting Max working in Linux.

I jump between Mac, Winows, and Linux (Ubunutu) fairly regularly as no single OS can do everything I need under one roof. I teach at a university in physics and recording arts where I use Max, Wavelab, Nuendo, and Live extensively for demonstrations and PowerPoint/Keynote for presenting. I also run a recording/mastering/post studio where I again use Nuendo & Wavelab. But I also run an acoustic R&D company where I use Solidworks, QCAD, and a few other drawing/modeling tools. And lastly I head up an interdisciplinary research collective that mostly uses Max, but also vvvv, Processing, TouchDesigner, Quartz Composer, etc.
