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 I am new to max, I want to make a stop watch, which starts counting after 10 seconds and stop counting at 2:47. I have had a go, but I am lost.

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 [...]

I’m trying to get a toggle to act as a button, by having it always in a 0 state so when it is triggered it will turn on but then immediately go back to being off.

I have a button that is connected to the adc with a threshold control and when it hits the threshold it triggers the bang twice almost instantly. Is there a way to receive the first bang and have it turn off/not accept the next bang automatically for a variable length of time before it turns [...]

Apologies if I’m posting this in the wrong place but thought I’d share this with you guys and see what you made of it. This is a degree project I did recently – as the title says I’ve turned a USB dance mat into a drum machine with three different backing loops and sample banks. [...]

Hi there. I am wondering if there is a way to delay an unpack object so instead of unpacking a list instantly, it does it 2 seconds after the inisal bang. this is what i have so far. Thanks :)

Hi, I’m movin’ the first steps in gen~. I tried to rebuild a waveshaper trough transfer curve in buffer~, but the algorithm in gen~ seems to react only btw. 100-150 values. I replicated the same algorithm as using lookup~ but in my gen~ patcher, obviously, there’s something wrong. Could you indicate the right direction? Thanks [...]

this might be a basic question, but could anybody please tell me how to read out a jitter matrix as lists of numbers?  below is what i came up with so far using jit.cellblock, but i can’t help thinking that this is not quite the easiest way of doing it… <pre><code> ———-begin_max5_patcher———- 1047.3ocyXtrbaBCEFds8SACSWlxnKHtzc8Enu.c5zACpNJEPtfbSZ6z28Jc .GSbDFZLf8hXrkDJ+7w4p9y5UtajOwqcc9fymcVs5OqWsBFxLvp1euxsH4oz 7jZXYtk7Gkadv8tloT7mTvv4xjrMIkaOLgHCFVuz2GbXrx8EhxbtB1Hb6feS [...]
