 is end of life since long. The goto solution for using a DMX USB Pro recently was using the serial object directly.

I wanted to start learning to write Max externals, and I chose to create an external for the DMX USB Pro.

A beta version of the package is available here: 

https://github.com/janmech/jam/releases/tag/1.0-beta

 for sending and receiving DMX data from the interface  and

 for use with audio signals (sending DMX data only).

To install, download and unpack the zip package and copy it to the Max Packages folder. On first load of the externals Max might ask you to remove the quarantine attribute. Just confirm and continue (I don't have a paid Apple developer account, that's why). 

The externals are compiled for MacOS 10.15 and later and should load on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

Looking forward for feedback and if there is interest in continuing this little project also collaborators are very welcome!

I am using a live.num object ranging from -200. to 200. and when I select the object and goes  one time up with the arrow keys, automatically jump from 0 to 8.36. Is it possible that goes up or down one by one? I tried also scrolling with the mouse on the last decimal and the result is the same. The object setting is a float number.

I've been (once again) embarrassed by lack of understanding of mesh coloring.

I'm aware of this: "Planes 0-2 specify the x, y and z position of the vertex. Planes 3 and 4 specify the texture co-ordinates s and t. Planes 5-7 specify the normal vector nx, ny and nz used to calculate the effects of lighting on the geometry. Planes 8-11 specify the red, green, blue, and alpha vertex color. Plane 12 specifies the edge flag e."

OK, so I do a jit.unpack and put planes 8-11 (counting from 0) into a jit.pack 4, and put that into the color array input of 

.mesh. I get: black. jit.cellblock shows me that this color array is actually 0.5 0.5 0.5 1.0, but 

I've tried putting the rest of the matrix output into the other 

.mesh inputs, but the only thing that will ever draw colors for me is auto_color 1. But I don't want auto_color; I want to control the color.

I have been trying to do the most basic thing: Play a loop through the built-in audio of a RNBO-patch on a Raspberry Pi and it simply does nothing, regardless of what has been tried.

The Pi's external soundcard/hat is not enabled, but I really want to use the built-in audio, can I do that?

Un-commenting out the line dtparam=audio=on in /boot/config.txt to re-enable the built-in audio.

Well, that line is uncommented by default.

The only audio setting that enables audio is 'hw:0', but that outputs nothing. 

performs as expected from the command line.

Where do I go from here without having to purchase an external soundcard for a very simple installation ?

I created and rendered an mp4 movie file using kdenlive where the "slideshow" ends at 02:27:28:21 and an end title displays until 02:27:54:01 giving the movie 266,222 frames at 30 fps and 8874 seconds of run time.  The length of the "slideshow" was determined by the length of a set of mp3 audio files that are supposed to eventually be the soundtrack of the final movie.

When jit.movie reads the file, the correct fps 30, framecount 266222, and time_secs 8873.6416 property values are reported, but when jit.movie is running in a M4L device I also created (

 question) doing audio reactive video effects to the "raw" slideshow, the movie consistently finishes (and loops or not) before the mp3 audio files finish (and loop or not), video ending nearly a minute early taking the end title time into account.

This same "fast clock" run time behavior of jit.movie occurs whether Live is running under External MTC timecode sync or its own clock. And strangely, the "time ruler" display setting at the bottom of Live's Arrangement view might make a difference in how "fast" the movie plays back?  After "discovering" that time ruler and switching it to 30 fps matching the movie to verify Live thinks the unwarped mp3 audio files run (approximately) 02:27:28:xx, I think I started seeing the "better" (less fast) end time for jit.movie playing the mp4 file reported here.

I'm using OBS to record the "FX pass" video received from the M4L device patch over Spout, and the recording process might also be impacting the playback?  But I would expect any "unexpected impact" like that to slow down performance, not improve it.

I don't need the audio and video to stay in sync and loop for days at a time, one pass within say 10 frames would be fine.  What can I do?  Anything?

15 years back i tried to use multiple copies of [count~ 0 9 1 1] in conjunction with multiplexing and demultiplexing audio signals in order to lead upsampled signals from poly~ to the mother patch and back.

because it did not work, i had to switch to a master phasor~ system instead. which is all but ideal.

i did some tests now and i found out that [count~]´s autoreset message simply does not do what i thought it should. 

all messages to count~ are not executed inside before the DSP is on, so things can get scrambled. from my experience this is the only audio object which does that.

linking it to dspstate~ and/or using messages to reset counters and make them start at 0 is out of question, too, as you can easily imagine, especially under SR 352800 conditions.

does anyone know about a workaround to synchronize counter~ instances at DSP start?
