Anal Probe help file question

Hi,   I have a small and simple question regarding the help file that comes with ANAL. What is the logic behind using the shift operator to store numbers in the “high seven bits”? I’m obviously missing an important mathematical-theoretical foundation, so please, someone enlighten me.  Is this just a more efficient method of handling [...]

How to tile textures for 3dmodels in Jitter?

Hi Can anymody tell me how to tile textures for 3d models? I am able to get a texture onto a 3d model, but the texture needs to be scaled. Obviously I could create a tiled texture, but thats not very efficient, right?

Problem to Drawing in OpenGL

I have a problem I can not fix. I have a one plane-matrix consists only of 0 and 1. They are practically matrices from images, and I want to recreate the same image in a 3D plane. So I could move the points in a three-dimensional plane or connecting the dots in different ways. This [...]

mxj's grayed out and disabled when patch closed

Anyone know why mxj’s would become disabled and grayed out when the patch is closed? They work fine in edit mode. Everything is up to date, directories are fine. It’s only when the patch is closed it gets disabled. xp 32 Live 9.0.4 Max 6.1.2 Java 7.21

Permanent object annotation for abstractions?

Hi – is there a way of creating a default annotation for abstractions which is saved with the abstraction? Let me clarify: if you hover over a standard MAX object you will see it’s ‘annotation’ in the status bar. For standard Max objects you can override the standard annotation by adding an annotation for this [...]

Record sound with by holding a hotkey?

Hey Max4Live forum! I have an Idea for an useful Abletonfeature, but I actually have no clue about programming with M4L, thats why I ask you guys if this would actually be possible. I enjoy making music using this “microsampling” technique. That means, you record many little samples of various synths and other samples and [...]

Paste at mouse position in edit mode

Hello kind forum, When editing a patch, I’m wondering if it is possible to make Max paste whatever is in the copy memory wherever the mouse pointer is located at the time of pasting? It does this when using keyboard shortcuts to create new objects. Can it be done with pasting copied objects too then? [...]

Serial Port cutting out in Live

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 [...]

Moving Axis of Rotation with openGL in Jitter?

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 [...]

Where to best put your M4L files / dependencies?

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 [...]
