are there any objects for letting a patch be controlled using applescript? there's tap.applescript, but it's part of a package that costs $65, which is too much to pay for 1 small object..

applescript-in-max

You should tell what do you expect to do?

and then the object in the patch would output 5. obviously this may be too ideal, but is there some kind of hack to acheive something similar?

tell application "MaxMSP"
   tell object "applescriptobject1"
      set output to "5"
   end tell
end tell

It is possible to pass values to Max/MSP from an applescript though max doesn't support it.

A really dirty hack way is to use MIDIPipe which is an applescriptable MIDI application. Of course you can only pass MIDI messages through it but that may be sufficient for you?

through the almighty shell object, you can use applescript messages with the osascript command.

search the archives for applescript, shell & osacsript

both of these sound like possible good options, thanks very much.

i'm finding a lot to do with sending applescript from within max like this, to control itunes from a max patch etc, but can't find anything on receiving applescript or apple events inside a patch.

likewise with this, it seems that midipipe is not applescriptable, it can only trigger applescript (for other programs)

Can you open a udp socket in your applescript, and send commands to

It is possible though not documented unfortunately. I'm at work at the moment but when I get home I will write you a quick tutorial. It's dead easy really.

aha, you're right - why is it not documented even a little bit??

ok, so it should work something like this?

    MIDISend toPort "MidiPipe AppleScript Input" withData {144, 52, 110}

except this tells me "missing value" for some reason..

As I am at work I can't test it but that sounds about right. Make sure you've got your pipe (on the right hand side) set up to output to max. You only need a midi in and a midi out in the pipe unless you want to do any modifications to the data.

As for documentation, the whole aplication is badly documented.

thanks for sorting me out with this, it's a nice application, shame about the documentation.

i thought i would only need Midi Out, no need for Midi In, but it turns out that's what this missing value was all about. works now! thanks again.

still looking into this as well - "do shell script" and then using "nc" will hopefully work, cheers
