I am using Max 5.1.8. Suddenly Audio (dac~, adc~) is not working any more, but MIDI sound and  jit. video sound are still working perfectly! I noticed that turning ezadc~ on and off became slower although the patch is very simple, and no audio signal coming out. Audio Tester does give any signal. DSP is normal (like [...]

The Compulsive Switcher I is a Max for Live device wich switches the incoming audio on and off, periodically. Each segment is filtered and panned and, since the switching happens at audio rate it can create some interesting effects. Download it here http://www.amazingnoises.com/am/?p=185 (And, if you missed them, check the other devices at http://www.amazingnoises.com)

Howdy All, Please disregard this. Bad question! Is there any way to delete a post? :P Thanks!

I just installed the very latest Soundflowerbed version on my Macbook pro and I know it’s installed because I can see the Soundflower outputs in my OSX audio setup. The problem is that when I go and reach the Soundflowerbed.app under the applications folder the little flower which is supposed to appear on the top [...]

Hi! As so often I need your help to solve a very banal problem: A Stepper-Motor controller sends out the position eg. 856. If the motor stops and turns around in the other direction it goes 855,854 and so on.. I want MAX to BANG if the maximum is reached (here: 856). How ca this [...]

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 [...]

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?

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 [...]

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

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 [...]

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 [...]

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? [...]

Hey everyone. I have a question. I’m trying to create a patch with multiple video’s. The first screen contains 13 different video’s (these are the top layer). Fullscreen they fill the whole screen. I also have 4 other movies which are allready fullscreen (and need to be placed behind the 13 other video’s). But my [...]

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.

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! [...]
