Hi, I have been using the serial port to read in data streams off various boards I’ve built which I use to control Live.  Recently, the serial port feed has started cutting out.  I get a short initial burst of data (say 100 bytes) and that’s it.  When I try the same code with the [...]

im looking for a compressor to add to a patch ive been working on lately, but the omx.comp~ is much too overwrought for what i want to do. i need a more basic compressor, and i swear max 5 had a compressor that was something along the lines of just: attack, release, ratio, makeup gain, [...]

Hey all, I’m fairly new to Max/Msp, and I’m trying to do some simple 3D animation work with Jitter. I’ve loaded some 3D Models with some jit.gl objects, and I think I have a pretty good idea of what’s going on with my patch. However, despite searching through tutorials and online, I can’t seem to [...]

Hey! I try to load mp3 to buffer~ with “import” msg but I get this error “cannot open parser for this file”. I have got same error when loading float64 files with “open” msg. Any solutions?

I’m using the cv.jit facetracking object and I want to do something very simple, such as add a photo of someone else’s head that will float on top of the face tracked coords. I thought this would be very easy but I can’t figure it out. It seems that you can only load a texture [...]

Hi, I have two strange appearances: – before making a standalone app of my patch, I close all not necessary windows, especially also the Maxwindow. But, when opening the standalone the Maxwindow always appears. How to turn it off? I thought in the past this did not happen, but noe on 6.1 it does. Help!!! [...]

I find this subject rather fuzzy for M4L and I can’t seem to find any clear documentation on it. When you develop a M4L patch with abstractions where do you put your files? On OSX I normally create a project in the default generated “Documents/Max6 Projects” folder. I know that you can put everything in [...]

I was hoping someone could help me in creating the basics of an additive synth using the objects listed in the title. I know that this has been done before, and all, but, in the hopes of learning more, I want to make my own. I’ll edit this post to include what I have so [...]

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with a problem. I want to be able to record a stream of numbers in time, so I could (for example) hit record, move the frequency of a filter up and down and then loop that sequence. Any help would be much apreciated! [...]

hi,everyone. I’m trying to use a ADC~ object to record a segment of sound running for 4’33”, then continue to sample the same segment of  sound from the same environment for the same length over and over again into ONE buffer~, in other words, the total length of the final piece should always be 4’33”.  Here [...]

Hey, I’ve been using Csound for awhile and thus I’m very used to its environment. I’ve been starting to use Csound (and Python inside Csound sometimes) in conjunction with MaxMSP to use the strenghts of every programming language. I was wondering if the Csound Max object would work with Gen or not. Thanks a lot [...]

Hi people, I’m stuck…!!! Currently making a little program on MAX/MSP and struggling using two JIT.VCR objects. Have attached a pic of the patch. I am taking 5 secs of audio and video from computers inbuilt mic and camera (using Vizie Grabbr object) and recording them through jit.vcr to disk. This then gets processed and [...]

Or does something like this already exist?

Hi everybody, Does [sfrecord~] officially support also more than 16 channels? The help file says “Soundfiles with 9-16 channels are now supported”, but I suppose it should, since the object is properly instantiated (otherwise I’d expect at least a warning in the Max window…) If it does support them, I have a [sfrecord~ 20 403200] [...]

I am working on a M4L patch that allows for dynamic precision control of any Live device parameter, that overcomes the limitations of 7-bit Midi on the one hand and the unhandy range of 16383 values with fixed precision rotary encoders in 14-bit mode on the other. But what I need is continuous input for [...]

I’ve been ‘working around’ this for 2 years but it’s about time I get my house in order. I use many different folders to organise my own patchers and abstractions, they are organised by functionality. So typically one patch will contain abstractions that sit in many different folders. I also often have many different patches [...]

Hi, I would like to know something about your setup hardware and software. I’m working with Max msp 6, osx 10.7.5.(Lion) and a macbook pro I5 with 4Gb ram bought in 2010. I’m having so many problems. Max crash occurs also with few filter. The ram works at 30%. Is there a recommeded setup for [...]

Hi All, I’ve been trying to use jitter and its quicktime objects, and I keep getting crashes. I try to use the jit.qt.grab tutorial (jitter tutorial 21), and the patch crashes after pressing ‘open’. I’ve done the same an a friends computer (both were macbook pro 15″) and everything was fine. I think there is [...]

Hi, if I have a patcher with severnal subpatchers, is there a guaranteed order to the loadbang calls? i.e., does the loadbang of the patcher get called before any of the subpatchers? thx Lee

Why is it that JS in Max sometimes dumps perfectly good errors to the max window, and other times dumps the opaque, unhelpful message “error calling function foo”? This gives no clue as to the line number or the nature of the error triggering the problem, so you are reduced to commenting out lines at [...]

Hi, if I have several pattrstorage objects in a hierarchy, and I call, e.g. store 0, on the top level object, should I expect this to do a store 0 on all children first before storing itself or should I go through all the children and do a store 0 on them (this is the [...]
