I have been playing with jit.openni and would like to report how far away an object is from the kinect. To do this I will need to report on the lowest value in the 1 plane depth map output. My question then is how do I report the second lowest value within a matrix so that I can ignore black areas?

Any help would be appreciated! :)

I’m building an interactive animation in which people will use changes in their heart rate to smoothly cross-fade smoothly through a *series* of time-lapse photos.

Basically I want to create a slideshow of around 20 images that can be ‘scrolled/scribbed’ through using input from a slider – that is controlled by heart rate.

The fading tutorials and examples I’ve looked at so far – seem to only cover x-fading with jit.xfade – which focusses on mixing between only 2 matrices.

Another variation would be to use the node object to mix images according to xy values.

Any tips re tutorials or suggested approaches would be greatly appreciated

All the best

I’m trying to send MIDI from Max/MSP to Processing via udp. I have a number box with 0-127 values connected to udpsend. It is on the same port as the Processing patch, which uses the UDP library (http://ubaa.net/shared/processing/udp/)

The problem is, at the Processing end I get this:
receive: “int,i” from 127.0.0.1 on port 57041

I have no idea how to get an actual number value from this. It seems like it is receiving as ‘i’ instead of an actual number, or am I missing something fundamental? Trying to establish if this is a problem at the max end or at the Processing end.

Bang messages are received like this:
receive: “bang,” from 127.0.0.1 on port 57041

Should integer messages not be received as “int,63″ (etc.) ?

Any help appreciated!

I’m creating a set of learning objects that need to be accessible on both Mac and Windows computers. In a couple of the learning objects, I need to add emphasis to a line of text. Since you can’t change font style within a comment box, I use two different comment boxes and align them. The problem is that the text line spacing is different between Mac and Windows leading to a text offset like the image below. If I make it work for one platform, then it’s off in the other. Any suggestions on how to make this work? I would LOVE to be able to use different fonts/styles/colors/etc. within a single comment box.

Thanks!

MindWave is an inexpensive bio sensor product made by NeuroSky – has anyone developed a Max object to read the data from this sensor into Max? There is an object at nonpolynomials.com that seems to have been developed for another similar product made by the same company – but I cannot make it work with the MindWave EEG sensor. The suggested API’s for developing for the MindWave seem to be java or Flash – has anyone had any experience with this? I think I saw some people controlling the Euclidean Patter Generator at the Max Science Fair in Brooklyn last year – were they using some other EEG device? Any experience with the MindWave < --> Max/MSP connection would be most appreciated!

Hello;

I have recently been experimenting with Max for Live and building various devices in it. I have just finished the first one that’s (just about) good enough to let out into the world. I present to you VArp-101, a MIDI Effect which acts as a flexible arpeggiator/note repeater, with features including flexible note duration/rhythm modes, a number of arpeggiation modes and rhythm patterns (including random and a single-note mode), and repetition controls for both note pitches and durations.

VArp-101 is on GitHub, at https://github.com/andrewcb/varp-101. This is the first project I’ve built that I’ve seen fit to share with a wider audience, and as such, my code is probably still a bit less than ideal. I’d appreciate any constructive feedback on it.

Cheers,

Hello All,

I’ve had a little search but can’t come up with much from the forum.

I have a few different granular polys~ which all work using a pitch ratio (0.5 = -12 semitones, 2 = +12). I want to be able to change these pitches with a global control, which also works on ratios. After a bit of rudimentary fuddling I had something which sounded correct by adding the global pitch ratio to the current pitches, but this doesn’t work when the main pitches are in a high ratio, as the global pitch is limited in my patch to -1.

Here’s a patch to demonstrate the problem:

Obviously this is broken, but my little monkey brain doesn’t know the maths to make it work.

Hi,

I have some objects in pure data that I would like to translate into max objects …

What are these pd objects called in max? Are there any equivalents?

comport
bytes2any
import moocow

I really appreciate you help, since I prefer to work in max!

Also in general: Is there any way I can see which PD objects are equivalent with which max objects?

Thanks,
ana

Hello all, I’ m new in max.

I’ m working on a my diploma project and I am using neurosky head set and maxmsp in it. I’ve found https://github.com/qdot/np_mindset maxhelp patch, but couldn’t use it because there is no npmindset.mxe file.
I’ve found topic, written before here, http://cycling74.com/forums/topic.php?id=36374 but with out anything different in it.

Does anyone have experience with this devices.
Please help.

Hello

im working on a polyphonic midi sequencer (for drum patterns mainly). i just finished my JSUI part of it and during the next days i will try to implement my midi engine .
i want to sequence multiple rows that contains midi notes . rows stands here for polyphony . where every row of notes has its own thread …. (?).
The question is :
Do i need to execute every row using [poly] ? or im allowed to do it without ? im wondering because i saw some chorders that plays couple of notes simultaneously , with different velocities and durations . i cant find it but i swear i saw it .

:)

Hello -

I need to work a little touchOSC element into a max patch that I’m writing, but I am frustrated by the fact that I can’t make a computer-to-computer network in OSX and have the android phone connect to it. I believe that this is called an ad-hoc connection, which is not supported in android. It only seems to want to work with connections created by a router. Does anyone have a solution for connecting android to computer for touchOSC purposes that does not require a wifi connection outside of the computer itself?

Hi there.
It’s me again.

Sorry to keep going on about this. There is a time pressure. We need this to work in two days and this is the third day.

Has anyone had any experience with these graphics cards? Matrox M9138. It states on their website, that Open GL support 2.0

But all openGL objects (jit.gl.videoplane and jit.window unless jit.window disables openGL acceleration.

The end result is an 8 channel sound file and 5 video screens playing. We have made the visuals compiled in one screen that we distribute to 5 seperate video outputs (2xMatrox M9138 that each have three outputs)
We sync the audio and video with the sync signal outlet of the sfplay~ object.

Thx so far :)

Just a heads up – I have been unable to get TapTools and LitterPro to work in Max6.1.
Taptools – I downloaded the v4beta and placed it in the packages folder
LitterPro – couldn’t find my download link, so I manually created a packages folder from all the LP objects etc installed in Max6.08

In the Browser I can see 2 Tap.Tools folders, and 2 Tap.Tools Ref folders, all of which are empty.

Am I alone in this, or is anyone else having the same problems?

These are the kinds of messages I’m getting…

Hi!

I am having troubles with the poly~ object.
Basically I built a sampler for sustaining sine waves. I have a cycle~ with envelope inside a poly~ and I am giving it different frequencies through a $1 message.
This works fine for a few minutes then suddenly it starts clipping and sometimes even the sound stops. I then have to turn off the audio and switch it back on to continue playing.

Anyone any idea why this is happening? (see attachment)

Thanks,

Lilian

Hey all,

I’ve been digging around a bit and I have a super simple question.

How do I reset a phasor when a signal goes from 0. to 1.?

I need the phasor to be going at a given frequency but reset intermittently by another signal. It must be done at signal rate which I am fairly certain rules out using the “phase” inlet.

I tried to build something with the gen~-phasor.maxpat example but my gen~ fu is not yet strong enough (I know I need to use expr but I can’t quite figure it out).

Hi, i’m trying to create a list of random numbers with Zl Join.
Theorically i must create a list with the last generate number and the list himself, and after that i probably need a “zl rev” to have the correct order.

The only thing is that i’m not really praticed with Zl and the output of zl is nothing, anyone can post an example of that, thanks?

a student of mine wants to use the jit.phys objects to place several small balls inside a hollow, transparent sphere. The small balls should roll around inside. At the moment we have a problem whereby they occasionally fall through the sphere. We are trying to understand exactly why this is happening. It doesn’t seem to be related to the dimensions of the outer sphere mesh. Are there any phys settings we can tweak in order to make the large sphere totally non-porous?

thanks,

oli

Hi all,

I’m trying to control video playback with some wii nunchuks but am having problems controlling the data streams from the accelerometers.

I want to measure the overall change in the accelerometer to control the speed of the video. In other words, the faster the viewer moves their hands, the faster the video will play.

The acc. data goes from 0.0 to 1.0 but the problem is that it is at 0.5 at a rest state (no movement). If the viewer waves their arms around (for example), the data will shoot up and down (above and below 0.5). Does anyone know a good way to harness that overall change and channel it into a data stream from 0.0 (no movement) to 1.0 (most movement)?

In this way it wouldn’t matter if the movement was up/down/left/right, as any movement would be registered as a displacement and could be used to speed up the video.

Here is the rough and ready patch i’ve been working on using OSCulator to get the wiimote data (jitter not connected). Ideally I would combine multiple data streams from different accelerometers and use the overall movement from the average of them all.

Any help is so much appreciated!

I’m pleased to announce that vDome-Max, a fulldome multi-channel projection software, is now open source and freely available through GitHub:

https://github.com/charlesveasey/vdome-max

We are currently using it for real-time slicing and projection mapping in a 2K fulldome theatre at IAIA in Santa Fe, NM.

It is designed to accept 2048 x 2048 dome-masters through Syphon, TCP, or direct video playback.

If anyone knows of optimizations that can be done in the program, please let me know. Once thing that I’ve been thinking about it to have a gui-less version that can be used after calibration is complete.

best,
Charles

Hi,
i’ve seen on Max wiki a tutorial for gen code export and AU on OsX.
Woul be great to get something similar for VST on Win.
can somebody @ Cycling ’74 give us some little breadcrumbs :-) ?
thanks
a.

Hi there,

First time poster, I’ve been using Max for a few years now but have only recently integrated it with my live performance setup, primarily as a MIDI router for my guitar gear (usually an FCB1010 footboard and Sansamp PSA1 through an UA-25 audio interface to a Macbook Air). I’ve been thinking about getting a touchscreen laptop, but am uncertain of the prospects of running the Max runtime in Windows (8?) and using touch for basic interactions and settings adjustments.

I’m aware that Max isn’t multi-touch compatible, I’m not too concerned about that and would just like reliable single touch events. I’m hoping to get the performance benefits of using a standard laptop for audio and MIDI processing in realtime while taking advantage of a touchscreen interface to monitor and tweak my guitar processing setup (primarily through Max). I’m NOT looking for another tablet or dedicated piece of touch hardware. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or advice, thanks!

Hi.

I was wondering – is there a way to exploit the magic behind [print @popup 1] in a custom object?

And, btw, are you Cycling guys still sure that you will never provide a way to show a custom name in the “object” column of the Max window? please…

fwiw, I just want the bach.print object to behave as closely to print as possible – no plans to subvert the Max ecology http://cycling74.com/forums/topic/object_post-with-different-name/ ;)

best

When I send xyc 0 0 0., xyc 127 127 0. to a [function] object using a message box all is well. When I send send “xyc 0 0 0., xyc 127 127 0.” from [coll]>[route symbol]>[fromsymbol]>function the Max Window says “wrong argument for message xyc.”
Why?
OXs 10.6.8, Max 6.1.2

I’m using the jit.qt.movie object to play a rather long video file that I want to split into multiple sections that automatically stop at differing lengths. I realise that I could edit it and load in multiple clips, but I’d like the option to change the input file after a while.
Triggering at specific times and stopping it are fine, as is getting a read out of time data etc.

However, getting the playback to stop at a specific place is proving to be more difficult than I thought. I tried using sel attached to the time number out but it doesn’t seem to have any effect, however it is sending a bang when tested without movie playback (perhaps the numbers are updating too fast?).

I’ve googled and searched the forum/tutorials but haven’t found anything that does this.

Does any one have any ideas? Next step is some data scaling into minutes/seconds from ms perhaps?

Thanks!
