Hello Everyone this is my first post! :) I've searched for the answer to my question elsewhere on this form and youtube and could not find a satisfying answer.

I have done this very quickly and simply using Isadora, but must translate the logic of my Isadora patch into Max/MSP out of necessity. Also I cannot use Max for Live in this particular case. :)

-Input Midi Control from iPod's Y accelerometer data into Max/Msp 6 (I have this part figured out, yay!)

-smooth the incoming data (don't know exactly how to use "smoother~" just yet)

-set 4 min max ranges: (I am guessing to use "minmax~" but don't know if this is the best object)

If active midi value is between 0-31 send midi note value c1 once to ableton

If active midi value is between 31-63 send midi note value c#1 once to ableton

If active midi value is between 64-95 send midi note value d1 once to ableton

If active midi value is between 96-127 send midi note value D#1 once to ableton

(This is my main challenge right now, though I have the "sending midi to ableton" just fine right now, its the "setting up the ranges" and "if midi control value is in range then send midi note" thing that I am having the hard time with. )

-What objects are best suited for this function?

I hope this makes sense, like I said I've done this before in Isadroa, but am completely new to the max/msp language. I hope someone could help this aspiring max coder !^*^! Thanks, AHEE

Here is my objective: 

-Input Midi Control from iPod's Y accelerometer data into Max/Msp 6 (I have this part figured out, yay!)
-smooth the incoming data (don't know exactly how to use "smoother~" just yet)
-set 4 min max ranges: (I am guessing to use "minmax~" but don't know if this is the best object)
0-31
31-63
64-95
96-127

If active midi value is between 0-31 send midi note value c1 once to ableton
If active midi value is between 31-63 send midi note value c#1 once to ableton
If active midi value is between 64-95 send midi note value d1 once to ableton
If active midi value is between 96-127 send midi note value D#1 once to ableton
(This is my main challenge right now, though I have the "sending midi to ableton" just fine right now, its the "setting up the ranges" and "if midi control value is in range then send midi note" thing that I am having the hard time with. )

So my questions are:
-What objects are best suited for this function?  

I hope this makes sense, like I said I've done this before in Isadroa, but am completely new to the max/msp language.  I hope someone could help this aspiring max coder !^*^! Thanks, AHEE

These are some objects that come to mind: scale, zmap, slide, split, if, . Remember, you can always alt/option + click on an object to open an example.

Thank you so much Nate! I had no idea someone would help me with such an amazing starting point! I think I'm beginning to understand it! Time to explore max/msp some more. :D

Just a quick note: objects ending with ~ are MSP objects (they only accept audio signals). For MIDI data you'll need Max objects. For smoothing data input, [slide] should come in help.

Also, have a look at the Max Tutorials, they should give all the answers to your needs (simple math, midi routing, etc.)
