Package Arrival: The Sadam Library

I'm pleased to announce the release of musician/developer Adam Siska's Sadam library, which is now available via the Max Package Manager.

I'm hard-pressed to name another Package Manager release that ranges over such a broad territory - I'm sure that nearly everyone will find something in the Sadam library that fills some need (even a need you may not be aware of currently having). Here's a short list:

• Complex Data Management tools: Base64 encoding/decoding, loseless data compression and decompression using the LZO library, a RapidXML wrapper for Max, a Document Object Model (DOM) interface for Max, and a Simple API for XML (SAX) interface for Max.

• Mathematical tools: Mean and Standard deviation calculation, Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple calculation for integers, and a generic interpolation/extrapolation tool.

• Max tools: Detect/output empty strings, an expr-based envelope generator for function objects, floating point value detection and output, simultaneous list sorting, a multi-range split object, traffic control for bang messages ,and a semaphore control object.

• MSP tools: Signal normalization, a phasor~ with a maximal resting state, band-limited random signal generation, a chaotic oscillator based on Chirikov's Standard Map, a signal sign-detector.

• Streaming and Networking tools: Bidirectional TCP and client/servant objects and UDP sender/receiver objects

• UI design tools: An alternative canvas for Max.

Head on over to the Package Manager to check out this wide-ranging collection.
