Hi I am a novice for maxmsp
I'm interested in visualizer and I want to use multiple visualizer patches in same patch (same window)
I made 3 visualizer patches by following Youtube

FreqVisuals is working well alone but it doesn't work with other visualizer patches
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMwMO_2V6V4&list=PLU_z109Z1OB35VMLebq6AcUqEOLQXXQVG
Particle is almost done but not working well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZvcDGbEbZk&list=PLU_z109Z1OB35VMLebq6AcUqEOLQXXQVG&index=15
MultichannelVisualisation is same with FreqVisuals, working well alone but not work with ohters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxJpsqrJ4Vs&list=PLU_z109Z1OB35VMLebq6AcUqEOLQXXQVG&index=8


Idk why it doesn't work and how I run these patches
My hypothesis is that I must use one gl in one patch
If so, is my concept possible?

I searched for the topic using multiple patches or gl or visualizer but I can't find
I want to any method I can try  or any Youtube I follow or any article, manual or so... 
Thanks :)

Hi there,
I want my M4L device to know if the MIDI mapping mode in Live is active or not. Is it possible?
I searched for it in [live.xxx] object references and Live Object Model, Live API docs... but so far it didn't help.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

This project is my first full Max instrument that utilizes the Jitter and MSP objects in Max to convert an image into a sound. This instrument is a 4 voice midi enabled synth with a ton of variations for sound color, and compositional diversity. You can choose between three preset images to scan or choose your own image to scan. 
To get started download the patch and open the .exe file. From there you will be presented with the main interface. Press the information sub patch to get started. 

P.S. You need to check the image mode toggle to get an image on the view

Hey Branden, I was looking for something like that for my artistic project. 

Really nice tool! Great work :)
But, to record samples, it worked the first time and after that, it's only created files without audio, just a new empty slot on my folder. Any idea of the process?

 LEO PATISSIER-BAUDEL Hello, I'm glad you liked it. To record make sure you press the open button first, this saves a temporary audio file in the directory of your choosing. Then press the toggle button right next to the open button (the X button). When that button is lit up the recoding has started. When you are finished press the toggle button again (this stops the recording). When you want to record again just press the open button and start over the process. I hope this helped. P.S. The way I eventually got the audio scanner to work caused the recorded outputs to have a 90 deg phase shift that is pretty obvious when you look at the waveform ( the waveform is unipolar). To fix this you need to apply an phase shift of 90 deg to the whole audio to get the waveform bipolar.

hello! spectacular project! I am new to MAX/MSP so I have a rather stupid question. Is it possible to use webcam live feed instead of a chosen image? Thanks!

hello,
when I start Max and open the patch I'm working on, all sliders are not recognized. To get them recognized I have to close the patch, open a new one and open the slider object. Only at this point if I open the previous patch again Max finally recognize the sliders.

Hi all! 
Here is the video with detailed description:  https://youtu.be/n68VlaO7OBc

So the problem is that the gate object is supposed to block the data if there is 0 on 1st input, but it acts not quite like that. 
It makes less sence that it works correctly in a simple setup(first part in the video), but doesnt work with midi data(second part of the video). 
Maybe I don't fully inderstand it's logic, maybe it stores the last value somehow. Any advice is much appreciated :)   

Hi all! 
Here is the video with detailed description:  https://youtu.be/n68VlaO7OBc

gate-object-problem

Basic patch hygiene tip: Any time you have a single outlet connected to more than one outlet, you'll save yourself a bit of trouble by using the trigger (t) object for more precise control on the order in which messages are sent to different objects located in different places in your patch. This will likely help to avoid situations in which you send the test message (0/1) before you send the value you want to pass along.



(^was wondering why this algorithm 😄, just to exclude '132' to turn it into a 0 😅... i thought to myself: could just multiply by result of the '!=' to get the answer most easily... but...


...even then ☝️, if you move an object into the wrong position, everything can fail, so "using the trigger (t) object" can prove essential there too 👍)

Hi,
thanks for the answer, but I don't get how is it supposed to help in my situation. In my setup I always connect single outlet to single inlet(except for the message boxes, only for illustrations). 
And in your example I get 0 every time when the test value is 132.  

I just want this behavior:

If the 1st outlet value(after unpack) is 123, the gate should use this value as closing signal, and block a message from the 2nd outlet value from beeing passed through.  
Basically it should be a filter for this specific value.

Could also be done without gate.
The value is stored and only sent out if the 1st outlet value is not 123.

If I understand correctly list has to be blocked if 1st item is 123,
but pass the list otherwise.
why not simply route 123 ?
no need for unpack either

"If I understand correctly list has to be blocked if 1st item is 123, but pass the list otherwise."  - Yes, exactly.

Thanks again, there was no need to unpack it indeed,  and right to left flow order was a discovery for me :)

I tried to use the router and it worked, but then I found a better solution: I actually use node.js script, in which is the main logic, so I just passed both values to the script and made a routing|filtering there. 

I just didn't know that the multiple values can be reached inside the node.js code. 
So now the solution looks like this: 

But be aware that JS runs at low priority which is problematic for real-time MIDI processing. For example, if you send CC just before a note there is no guarantee that your JS filter will also be executed before that note.

Hi there,
I have a Mac standalone made with Max 8.2.0 which uses an audio input (actually from loopback) and an external USB camera (to trigger things).

It's working fine. But as it needs to run for a long time (months) in an installation, I would like to launch it automatically when the computer starts up (as a Login item).  This works, but during the startup process, dialog boxes appear asking for permission for "... MSP to capture audio from the microphone." and to "Allow Jitter to capture video". Which need to be clicked on.

I thought that the computer (mac mini running 10.13.4) would learn that it's ok for the app to do this (it appears in and stays in the relevant lists in the Security control panel). but these dialogs appear EVERY TIME. 

Launching the standalone app on my laptop (OS 12.1) displays the same behaviour, so I don't think it's just an OS thing.

I've done this kind of thing before and can't remember ever having this problem.

standalone-mac-permissions-launch-problem

Interested in resolving this permissions issue also. 

Actually I'm talking to support about it now. 

Going back to Max 8.1.11 and making the standalone with that version solves the problem, - i only have to give permission once, then the computer remembers the permissions. so it seems to be a bug in the newer version(s). I'll post here again when I have more news about it! J



if I recall correctly you can bypass this with an apple developer ID.
Once you have one, you should codesign* the app with a script. 

Check this thread:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13204407/how-to-codesign-an-existing-mac-os-x-app-file-for-gatekeeper 

Thanks for the link! I'll check it out. It all seems to work anyway by using Max 8.1.11. And hopefully the bug will be fixed in a future version of Max.

Same here. I'm forced to export my App (https://irin.carloscaires.com/ ) using max 8.1.11. Did anyone reported this issue in the bug report form?

Anybody have any news on this?   I can't even find where to download Max 8.1.11 anymore! Seems the oldest avail on the website is 8.2 something...

Max 8.1.11. is surelly still available for download,  but link is not shown
is this for your own needs?
in which case you could get rid of stupid apple
security restrictions.
if you think solution is to use 8.1.11
I could  digg  download link from  archives

Hi all,
Same thing with my standalone... but i can't use the 8.1.11 because of some objects that have since been updated (ex : mc.resize).
I hope C74 solves this problem in the next release...

You simply need to codesign the standalone app bundle. 
From a terminal:

Thank you for your reply.
I did that, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I get the following error message in the terminal :
" resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed "


I'm having the same issue now -- realizing that I need the functionality of some updates since 8.1.1.   

I thought that you needed to register an Apple developer ID in order to co-design the app?

you don't need a developer ID when you sign anonymously, which is what passing "-" to the "-s" flag does

And all is right now, without Apple developer ID.

@Rob Ramirez - interesting, I didn't know this-

I need to create a 4 button switch with pictlCtrl toggles. live.switch and mgraphics don't suit my needs right now  

This is my current setup which is working well but I want one mode to always be selected but right now you can just click off the selected one, but I don't know how to make the logic do that.

create-4-button-switch-logic-using-pictctrl-toggles

Why don't you use tab or live.tab ?
they both do exctly what you want.


if you insist on using textbutton or pictctrl for whatever reason,



Thank you! i like this, quite a clever setup! I needed to use specific border radiuses for each corner + angled gradients. Cheers!

mgraphics would work fine, but will require you to get the required mouse logic and geometry absorbed.

i play the [t 1] game, too.

whenever a new one should be made active, first turn all off, then send set 1 to the recently pressed one. outlet number 17 gives you the button instance number.


and do not forget about the matrixcontrol object, which can also be used for this type of element.

I want to have a very basic filter for midi notes passing through (could add weighted randomness later) but somehow some of the note offs are not making it, so the some notes are being sustained randomly. I guess that's because the velocities are send before the pitches... How should I address that? 

I've tried with [midiparse]-[unpack] too; same problem. 

For the moment It's for unison only, but I wouldn't mind to learn how to deal with chords too, dooh.

notein-noteout-wrong-order-for-noteoffs

this can't work so because decide might kill only note off,
and leave you with hanging note.
if you want to do this that simple,
block only note on messages.
you will then have extra note off messages

to fix that you would store passed note numbers and pass
only note off messages for them


Today I learned to use coll for nifty temporal storage.  Grazie Mille.

Unsure if this is a known issue. 
Upon loading LFO/Envelope follower and trying to Map to a parameter, the button continues flashing and is unable to map to anything. 
This has happened since recent 11.3 Ableton update. 
Does anyone know anything about this or have a solution

I was unable to use Live Object Model  devices (such as those), or interact with api at all, after updating to 11.3. I fully un-installed Live, restarted computer, and re-installed and it worked fine after.
