Also curious whether certain generations of the Kinect are more Max 6.1+ friendly
I am planning to start Kinect/Max patching.
Especially of interest is the ability to work in both Windows and OSx environments, so compatibility with the OSx build of jit.openni is essential.
Many thanks!

Introductory Courses (4 day course, 10am-6pm; Either 13, 14, 20, 21 July 2013 or 16-19 July 2013 inclusive)
The Max Introductory Courses are designed for anyone working with sound in a creative way, and who wants to expand into the world of custom built innovative software that MaxMSP makes possible.
The focus of the course will be on the creative applications of MaxMSP, and on reaching a level of technical understanding and competence as quickly as possible in order that creative activities can begin.
The introductory course sets out to provide participants with a secure set of technical and creative skills that will let them use MaxMSP to explore all of these areas.

Advanced Course (4 day course, 10am-6pm, 23-26 July inclusive)
While a fundamental knowledge and familiarity with the software is assumed to build simple creative patches, the participants will be introduced to more specific and underlying topics in data handling and manipulation in order to facilitate more complex programming projects. This course will cover a variety of topics including midi/data controls, sampling techniques and manipulation (live sampling, looping), real-time effects, granulation, audio analysis, FFT, sensors (Arduino) and video analysis and manipulation. The course material has been carefully compiled to highlight the similarities and differences between the different topics in order to allow the participant to quickly acquire the skills to embark on their own more ambitious programming projects.

Past participants on the course have included performers, sound artists, composers, visual artists, teachers and students, with a huge range of different musical, visual and general artistic backgrounds. It is generally helpful for participants to have had some prior experience in using computer technology for artistic creation, but no prior experience of using MaxMSP is needed for the Introductory Course.

The solution posted by Mzed is perfect for what i want.

Now, i’m continuing my work but i’ve got another number.

For example, you know the “Simon”, right? (It’s good for my example)
Suppose that i want to send the number to the corresponding led, and after the program read all the list, i must insert by pressing buttons (take 4 as example, just like Simon) the corresponding sequence (and return wrong when i made an error).

What i must use? I’ve read that probably Zl Nth could be useful, but personally i’ve never use that.

It’s a lot simpler:

Send whatever numbers/symbols you want, then send a bang to output the list.

Just be sure to not specify a list size as an argument.

My patch utilizes the serial object to communicate with an external device. The patch was developed on OS 10.6.8 and Max 6.0.4 and it works very well there.
On a much faster OS 10.8 Mac Mini it’s garbage. The message/ack cycle has gotten very slow and inconsistent rendering my patch useless. It’s the same Max version, same serial drivers, no 3rd party objects.

Normally I send messages with a 33ms metro, the device responds with an ACK very quickly, and the next message goes out 33ms later without a glitch.
On 10.8, it’s randomly anywhere between 33ms and 150ms, obviously choking hard on something.

I just updated everything, latest keyspan drivers for 10.8, latest Max6.1, and there is no change.

Anybody have a similar experience?

Thanks a lot for the patch man. It’s a big help. I like the “p averaging” and “p scaling” sub-patches a lot.
Still wondering how i’m going to get a fluid control of video with jittery wii data. It might be fine with graphics or abstract shapes, but I suspect if I use it to control the playback speed of video it will be too confusing. I might try using the wii data to send a bang, in turn gradually speeding up the video momentarily. Hmmmm.

Thanks!

can anyone aide me in creating an abstraction that has the same functionality?

For a piece of code to be an abstraction it must have some way with communicating/interacting with objects outside of it, e.g. inlets/outlets.
To have the same functionality as [routepass] it must have at least one definable selector (using arguments or with a ‘set’ message) and be able to pass unmatched messages (unchanged) out the right outlet.

The other solutions here may work for very specific scenarios, but they do not satisfy OP’s criteria. I will admit that my solution is also limited (to a single selector), but one can still perform the exact same function as [routepass] by linking several of them together.

*EDIT: fixed a couple things in my previous code…
