[sharing is fun] CLATTER v2.0

This is excellent! Since it’s in Max, how can we properly crack it open and control, say, the scrubscreen with a PS2 controller, or instead of a mtof transposer do one based on other tunings? Pretty cool, though–if it comes down to it, I’ll probably just put together a series of sound files of scale degrees of different tunings and forgo the transposer machine (except to the octave, of course).

I would like to know if you have some kind of suggestion for how to start setting up another patch that could simulate mouse clicks on the scrubscreen. Also, if you ever want to edit this, you could throw in a [send~ clatter] object that the user could select instead of [dac~], just for the sake of not worrying about SoundFlower if you want to route Clatter audio through another MaxMSP patch.

Just take out the last period, then they work. Punctuation clogs the internets.

For Peter: I can’t seem to find how to save presets. I watched the videos, but as always may have missed something.

Check out using pattrstorage with autopattr. All you have to do is provide scripting names to every object you’d like to record presets for, then drop a pattrstorage object and an autopattr object in your patch and all script-named objects will automatically be exposed to the pattr system and recorded into pattrstorage(see pattrstorage object’s help-file for preset loading/unloading/recording/recalling messages).

Alternately, just look here for a helpful pattr-izing utility that is setup in advance for you:
Max5/examples/utilities/pattr-helper.maxpat

if you’d like to learn more, click on the ‘Help’ menu from Max5, choose the ‘Max Tutorials’ section, then near the bottom of the ‘Table of Contents’ for the ‘Max Tutorials’ is a section called ‘Patcher Storage’ which details pattr/autopattr usage.

Best of luck to you and a great job with the app you’ve built so far!

This is strange–I was trying to fix the problem where you have to click a saved preset twice, if the saved preset was on a different beat-grid from the one you’re on. Like, I save a 4n beat preset, and I’m working on 8n, so to go back to the first preset I have to click once, which gives me a smashed beat pattern, then the second time I click it gives me the real thing. Seems to be an ordering issue. Does it matter that the beat division box is to the left of the multislider? Are preset orderings the same as everything else?

But that’s not the weird part. The weird part is that I went into the [p ] under the multislider for the sequencer and when I tried to click on that rainbow multislider it kept saying "might be a stack overflow error" and crashed. This was repeatable.

If I de-encapsulate the patcher containing the multislider, how can I re-encapsulate it and preserve the presentation mode? I couldn’t seem to do the normal double-click thing, since it was a bpatcher, and I couldn’t encapsulate it as a bpatcher since it wasn’t its own file…there’s probably something I’m missing here. If something is embedded in the parent patch, how do you get back to it later?

Just downloaded 2.0.1, but can’t get any sound of it. There is no output in the level (master) meters either.

Using MaxMSP 5.0.6 (latest).

2.0 is working fine. Tested both versions with the same set of samples.

Any ideas?
