Hi, Im looking at the best way to get the current clips playing position as a phasor~, so i can then rate~ and generally manipulate the signal, to create stepped signals etc… Would I just have to re-trigger a phasor~ that’s synced to the transport or is there a better way of doing this? I [...]

Hi, for a one pole filter design I wanted to use the zplane~ object and sent a message ‘order 1′ to it. I read that the object only accepts orders starting from 2. When trying the ‘order 1′ message, it worked for a short time, then max crashed. Could you please update the object, that [...]

Hello, this might be a pretty easy question, but I have searched around for quite awhile and have not been able to figure out a solution. I am trying to find a way to either produce a delay or shift in phase of a phasor~ object exactly when it ends its cycle. I would like [...]

Hi, I’m just wondering if someone can help me with this particular jitter problem. The patch I’ve created displays a rigid sphere inside a larger (mesh) sphere. The problem I’m having is that when the size of the ‘small ball’ is decreased below about 0.8 it falls through the rigid body. <code> ———-begin_max5_patcher———- 1885.3oc0alraiaCF.9bFf4cfvm8nJRp0hbvyfdr.CP6gdnSggrDiMSjk7nk rzA8cubSNNwazJTLZPbrrj0xO+3+JI8O93GtZxhxGI0S.+J3uAWc0OXG4Jww [...]

I just tried to install the CNMAT externals but Max isn’t finding the objects. It is in a file path which is in the Max5 file paths, and I have ‘subfolders’ checked. The external objects such as OSC-Route are not found. Any ideas? I’ve been using Max for a while and have never had problems [...]

Hello; I have recently been experimenting with Max for Live and building various devices in it. I have just finished the first one that’s (just about) good enough to let out into the world. I present to you VArp-101, a MIDI Effect which acts as a flexible arpeggiator/note repeater, with features including flexible note duration/rhythm [...]

Hi, I have some objects in pure data that I would like to translate into max objects … What are these pd objects called in max? Are there any equivalents? comport bytes2any import moocow I really appreciate you help, since I prefer to work in max! Also in general: Is there any way I can [...]

I’m building an interactive animation in which people will use changes in their heart rate to smoothly cross-fade smoothly through a *series* of time-lapse photos. Basically I want to create a slideshow of around 20 images that can be ‘scrolled/scribbed’ through using input from a slider – that is controlled by heart rate. The fading [...]

Hello im working on a polyphonic midi sequencer (for drum patterns mainly). i just finished my JSUI part of it and during the next days i will try to implement my midi engine . i want to sequence multiple rows that contains midi notes . rows stands here for polyphony . where every row of [...]

Hello All, I’ve had a little search but can’t come up with much from the forum. I have a few different granular polys~ which all work using a pitch ratio (0.5 = -12 semitones, 2 = +12). I want to be able to change these pitches with a global control, which also works on ratios. [...]

Hi there. It’s me again. Sorry to keep going on about this. There is a time pressure. We need this to work in two days and this is the third day. Has anyone had any experience with these graphics cards? Matrox M9138. It states on their website, that Open GL support 2.0 But all openGL [...]

I’m trying to send MIDI from Max/MSP to Processing via udp. I have a number box with 0-127 values connected to udpsend. It is on the same port as the Processing patch, which uses the UDP library (http://ubaa.net/shared/processing/udp/) The problem is, at the Processing end I get this: receive: “int,i” from 127.0.0.1 on port 57041 [...]

a student of mine wants to use the jit.phys objects to place several small balls inside a hollow, transparent sphere. The small balls should roll around inside. At the moment we have a problem whereby they occasionally fall through the sphere. We are trying to understand exactly why this is happening. It doesn’t seem to [...]

Hey all, I’ve been digging around a bit and I have a super simple question. How do I reset a phasor when a signal goes from 0. to 1.? I need the phasor to be going at a given frequency but reset intermittently by another signal. It must be done at signal rate which I [...]

Hi. I was wondering – is there a way to exploit the magic behind [print @popup 1] in a custom object? And, btw, are you Cycling guys still sure that you will never provide a way to show a custom name in the “object” column of the Max window? please… fwiw, I just want the [...]

Hi there, First time poster, I’ve been using Max for a few years now but have only recently integrated it with my live performance setup, primarily as a MIDI router for my guitar gear (usually an FCB1010 footboard and Sansamp PSA1 through an UA-25 audio interface to a Macbook Air). I’ve been thinking about getting [...]

I’m creating a set of learning objects that need to be accessible on both Mac and Windows computers. In a couple of the learning objects, I need to add emphasis to a line of text. Since you can’t change font style within a comment box, I use two different comment boxes and align them. The [...]

Hi! I am having troubles with the poly~ object. Basically I built a sampler for sustaining sine waves. I have a cycle~ with envelope inside a poly~ and I am giving it different frequencies through a $1 message. This works fine for a few minutes then suddenly it starts clipping and sometimes even the sound [...]

When I send xyc 0 0 0., xyc 127 127 0. to a [function] object using a message box all is well. When I send send “xyc 0 0 0., xyc 127 127 0.” from [coll]>[route symbol]>[fromsymbol]>function the Max Window says “wrong argument for message xyc.” Why?

Hi All, I’m trying to get the standard deviation of my blobs from cv.jit.blobs.centroids – not having any luck with the cv.jit.stddev object. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, -meg

So this is simple, I need an object where I input an integer number, lets say 3, and the object then outputs 3 bangs! It should be simple to make so I hope someone can answer me what object should I use. Thanks

Hello, wondering if anyone has a sense of ease of use/performance of the standard gaming Kinect and the “Microsoft Kinect for Windows Sensor.” 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 [...]

Hello all, 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 [...]
