Hi, I just can't figure out why my rpi4 patch is not receiving tempo or transport. I'm using the metro object. All the rpi4 is updated, audio jack and all. It properly receives and sends midi notes and CC, but not clock. The online articles and tutorials arn't very clear, and even if I try what they say, it's not happening. My Digitakt midi preferences are properly set.

I'm having trouble putting all the separate elements and examples of MIDI / MPE together.

I want to have a maximum of 4 voice numbers.

I also want to be able to send to Slide, AfterTouch, and Pitchbend.

I know the poly object can index notes, but i don't see a way for mpeformat or midiformat to receive an index, unless the right inlet of midiformat is for this? Although thats called "midi channel"

I thought this is where poly~ would be useful, since it seems like polymidiin handles a lot of that, but multiple forum posts say it's not necessary. ( 

So I'm using a poly to index, then a [route 1 2 3 4], to direct to the mpeformats "note channel" (assuming same thing as "voice number". ) but poly was giving my note-offs a different index than the note-ons depending on where in the network i put it. 

Either way, this seems to work, but i don't think its very scalable. Is there a better way to execute such a thing?

I’m a new owner of a Bela Gem Multi, my aim is to use it for a sound installation requiring multichannel audio played on headphones. For this, I wanted to use RNBO and then export the C++ code to run it on Bela. My actual project is to have a realtime selection of a lot of audio files (more than 500). There are predominantly under 30 seconds and goes to around 5 minutes for the longer ones. Right now, it does not work with this number of files when I build the exported C++ code with the Bela IDE. But it does work when I use less audio files (around 40, WAVE 48-24).

In RNBO, I use a very simple patch (screenshot below), to select the files read by a 

 objects, they seem to be recognized in the console of the Bela IDE. It seems it’s the working method right now in RNBO to use buffers, even though it’s really painful to name individual files like this.

I had not anticipated this issue and following an answer from the Bela forum, I understand that I need to load a few samples in RAM to play them and load the rest from disk when it's needed. Here I'm going over what the RAM is capable with this size of audio files and reading only from RAM.

Is it possible in RNBO to specify this kind of operation (i.e. allocation between RAM and disk) ?

I'm working on a tree vibration installation and receiving live data from two ADXL345 accelerometers via the serial object in Max/MSP.

The data comes in as six float values per reading:

I'd like to record this data and play it back later for prototyping the sonification without needing the physical sensors connected.

1. Record and playback directly inside Max

2. Save to CSV and read it back in Max later

What would be the recommended approach for this kind of multi-channel float data? Any patches or objects you'd suggest?

AAF Bridge converts between native Ableton Sets and AAF, XML, FCPXML, FCPXMLD — both directions.

Timeline → Ableton Live (Resolve, Pro Tools, Avid, Premiere/FCP, Nuendo, etc):

- Sample-accurate clip positions and source offsets, named tracks

- Fades & crossfades (become Live-native crossfades), clip gain, volume automation, pan, markers, track/clip colors (some editors don't write automation or pan in AAF, please see our guide)

- Picture cut on its own video track — mix to image inside Live

- MXF-wrapped audio (Resolve) converts to WAV automatically

Ableton Live → Timeline (Resolve, Pro Tools, Avid, Premiere/FCP, Nuendo, etc):

- Named tracks, sample-accurate positions, full handles

- Real AAF crossfade transitions, clip gain, volume curves

- Timecode track at the session frame rate

- Optional "collect media": one movable turnover folder

One detail worth calling out: crossfades map to each format's native construct — Live's own crossfade encoding on import; real AAF dissolves, FCPXML overlaps on export. Full blend length, no level dip, acoustically as close as the target renders — never two touching fades faking a blend.

Every conversion writes a plain-text report — what transferred, what needs attention (e.g. warped clips to consolidate). No MIDI, no plugin chains: AAF can't carry those, and the report says so plainly rather than dropping things silently.

Free demo: full app, no signup, unlimited conversions, output limited to the first 120 seconds — test on real projects. 

honest note: one-person project, builds aren't code-signed yet (planned but it's a real cost at my scale). On macOS, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway after the first launch; on Windows, More info → Run anyway. You only do this once.

Happy to answer format questions — AAF is a deep rabbit hole and I've spent a year in it.
