I just made a small video tutorial about using sdif files to create and interpolate resonant models using bach and cage packages and CNMAT's resonators~

The patch is on GitHub (see video description)

I have a midi controller with a grid of programmable buttons. Besides sending a midi message when a button is pressed, I can also send a midi message to the controller to light up a specific button. 

I want to use this grid to light up the index of the clip playing for a certain track and also to be able to trigger the same clip. 

I want this to work regardless if I trigger a clip from the Ableton UI or the controller. This means that just maintaining the state of the controller is not an option, instead I would want to monitor (or poll) the playing state of each clip slot and respond to changes. 

I have created a patch that does this but I am getting this error: 

live.object: Setting the Id cannot be triggered by notifications. You will need to defer your response.

I have tried to put a deferlow at different places in the patch. I have also tried to use pipe to delay different parts. None has worked. 

In the attached patch you can see what I have tried (I have also indicated the offending part of the patch). 

I am quite new to programming Max MSP and maybe I am taking the wrong approach here? I would really appreciate some help.

I want to use max to do some live signal processing.  I'd like to control it with some foot pedal devices. I don't currently have a lot of experience with footswitches and expression pedals.

I thought I'd be able to find a MIDI Expression pedal on Sweetweater easily, but it looks like all the expression pedals have a TRS cable.  There is a USB one that is much more expensive.

I was wondering, what could Max do with a TRS Expression Pedal?  Could I plug it into my audio interface and have Max read it as a signal from -1 to 1?

Even the footswitches have TRS out.    What will the output of these devices look like as a signal in Max?

Basically I'm looking for a foot button I can use to trigger taps for a tap delay.  And an expression pedal I can use to control volume.  

Since I have max skills, I'd rather build a max patch than buy a dedicated delay pedal.  I just need the appropriate hardware so I can control max with my feet on stage.

This is a bit of a niche question, but does anybody happen to know what text encoding system jit.gl.text uses to read from matrices for numbers outside the ascii printable character range? Everything from 33 to 126 outputs the correct corresponding ascii character, but I can't find any information about the higher numbers. 229 outputs a Chinese character; 239 outputs a Korean character; neither outputs are particularly common characters - so far the output seems completely random. Just to check these weren't somehow unicode, I also sent in matrix information encoded in three layers, but found that only changing the first layer char input actually modified the output. I know jit.gl.text can display any character (including non-alphabet characters) directly from a text message object; however, I specifically in this case need it to read from a matrix. 

Asian characters do also give, according to atoi, five-number unicode codes (for example, 日 outputs 26085). I tried changing the matrix data type but jit.gl.text only accepts char, so this five-number string can't be inputted anyways. I don't know of any standard which encodes Asian characters as char (literally impossible given the 1-byte limit), so I'm not sure what else can be done beyond the aforementioned (failed) strategy of sending multiple layers. A bit stuck on this one.

I'm wondering there are any common Max For Live devices that accomplish the following very simple thing -- same as Shaper MIDI, but instead of being a MIDI effect triggered by the current track's MIDI events, it is an audio effect which has a sidechain option (kind of like how Corpus, or Auto Shift in Live 12 Beta, allows a MIDI sidechain option).

So, for example, I could have some audio sample playing on Track 1 with this audio effect on it mapped to a Dry/Wet knob on a reverb, then have a MIDI Track 2 where I'm playing some rhythm from a controller, causing the reverb on Track 1 to swell according to my playing.

The same question would apply to the Shaper audio effect, which could also benefit from a sidechain.

This seems like such a basic functionality that maybe it's already included in Ableton and I've just missed it? If not, I might take this up as a intro challenge for coding Max For Live devices myself.

I tried multiple things but it always ends up clunky and/or not functioning. I try to make a drum sequencer, it will issue bangs for synth drum voices and I'd like to control the velocity of each drum voice, on each step.

live.step is great for a single-voice sequencer but for 4, 8, or 16 voices, I'd have to put these in a "p" and go to each subpatch each time I want to change the sequence, it's just really not practical.

I am currently trying to make a project using a jitter where I can switch between cameras by pressing a button. The issue I am coming across is that when I switch between the cameras with the jit.grab command it turns on one and switches the other off which is making the transition delayed. I was wondering if there is fix for that. I am using the built-in camera in my MacBook Air and a USB external webcam hoping to transition to HDMI when I have general testing done. 

If anyone knows how to fix this issue please let me know

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.
