This seems highly unlikely, but I just have to ask before I give up...

Is there any way to get data from a Max standalone into C++ on Windows?

I have created a "driver" of sorts for a 3rd party controller... a front end that takes an HI input and does some data processing before spitting out some numbers. Now I am working with a programmer using C++ and ideally I'd like to give him my standalone and then pipe the data into a C++ app he's creating.

open sound control, midi, tcp data on local loopback, sockets or any  
other IPC method.

Thanks for the quick reply! Glad to know this is possible...

MIDI doesn't seem like a good option, since I want more than a 0-127 range.

Out of the others that you mentioned, what is the simplest way to go? I want to be able to run both the standalone and the C++ code off a single computer and avoid complicated wiring and routing as much as possible.

Thanks in advance for any insight...

you wont have to do any wiring if you use local loopback adress of 

127.0.0.1 or localhost to send and receive TCP/UDP data off of.

ust make sure the packets don't inadvertently go to a router and back

if you're plugged in to a network. Local loopback is a very easy way

to get data sharing going between apps. I would proably go with

something UDP based. I would either do some custom UDP thing or

ust make sure the packets don't inadvertently go to a router and back
if you're plugged in to a network.  Local loopback is a very easy way
to get data sharing going between apps.  I would proably go with
something UDP based.  I would either do some custom UDP thing or
utilize an OSC schema for data parsing.

Maybe your programmer friend can integrate it into

I would say OSC is the best wayt to go.
Here is a link to a c++ OSC library

Maybe your programmer friend can integrate it into
the "diver app".


Hi, I'm new to max so please bear with me!

I want to get max to output integers on localhost and then for C++ to recieve the data for processing. I have been looking into the net.tcp.send object and osc but there is no documentation saying how to use the objects, or any step by step tutorials.

The OSC seemed to be more complicated than the mxj tcp object so I started with tcp object. There is no reference to it in any of the max documentation, however, I found an article on the Cycling 74 website which had a screenshot of the object patch. I basically copied it and ran it, but not surprisingly it printed failure.

Any advice you can give me will be very much appreciated.

Me again. Just an update on my progress with the tcp.send object.

I have found the little help patch for the object within max but when I ran that it also printed failure. One of the outlet boxes is a number which is the "number of active packets (sent but no response received)". This number increments as the message is sent through the object. But it always eventually prints failure.

I thought maybe it was my firewall and permissions with localhost but it made no difference when I turned the firewalls off.

Does anyone have experience with this object? Is windows stopping it somehow?

Am I misunderstanding the meaning of the failure aswell? Is it a failure to actually send the message or a failure of the message being transmitted to something?

exposing max output to c++?
