I want a M4L device to turn a toggle OFF/(0) when audio in Live is not running and ON(1) when the audio engine is running. This seems to be an issue. The native Max [adstatus switch] object does not work in M4L. 

The first workaround I tried was to use the live object model to observe the 'average_process_usage' property, assuming it would drop to 0 when the audio engine stops, but that is not the case, it keeps the last value from when the engine was still running.

Second workaround (see patch) is to use delay to bang a 0 when the 'average_process_usage' property stops outputting data. Unfortunately this doesn't work either as all timing inside M4L is stopped upon audio engine shut-off.

I'm starting to think there is just no way of doing this, but I hope I'm wrong. Any clues on getting this done would be very much appreciated!

I’ve been using Spat for a few weeks now and it’s really interesting. I’ve built a small system that spatializes sound sources in octophony based on their timbre.

However, I’m wondering about the fidelity of the spatialized sources. I have the impression that even when I mute the reverb via 

, there is still some kind of reverb present.

 object, as recommended in the help file, and this seems to be related to the sensation of reverb, but I’m not entirely sure.

Ideally, I’d like to project my sounds in octophony over 8 loudspeakers in a room without transforming them.

But i’m also wondering whether it is part of Spat’s philosophy to transform the sound in order to simulate distance and movement. If that’s the case, I assume this is the result of serious work done at IRCAM, so to be equally rigorous, should I be entering the precise characteristics of the room in which the sounds are being played back? If so, where is this managed? 

I’m trying to achieve a way of working that is close to that of an engineer mixing in stereo, except that here I’d like to do it in octophony.

I am trying to use [pak] and [list.sum] to get the midi pitch + pitch bend as a float. But if I perform any operation, like [div] on the pitchbend (to use hires and variable pb range) the [list.sum] outputs only the pitchbend information without summing with the original note value.

Now suddenly I got it to work, but not in the rnbo-subpatcher I am working on, only in this fresh snippet, So I don't know if this question makes sense, but if anyone recognizing this problem, let me know.

[edit] I noticed the console gives me "list index out of range"

I’m testing the new OSC features in Max 9 (

 etc) to eventually replace my current Pattr system for managing a large number of UI parameters. I've tried to set the Min and Max attributes of OSC enabled parameters via OSC, without success so far. 

According to the documentation, I should be able to get and set the 

 attributes of an OSC-enabled parameter. Is this correct? 

I've created a number object, enabled parameter mode and set its osc name to "hello". 

While I can successfully set the raw value and the normalized value)of the "hello" parameter in the "untitled" patcher, I cannot update its min, max, type and other attributes. In the preferences, I have disabled "Use /param prefix" for parameters, so the address should theoretically be: 

 for the raw and norm values. Does that mean that these attributes are not editable ?

Quite new to Max/Jitter. Was working on this patcher (inspired by Ned Rush) and was looking into how to invert the colours (black to white and white to black) with a simple toggle to use during live performance. Tried to find something on this, but no luck. Any help appreciated!!
