I have an arbitrary number of toggles, say 10, and a process that sends periodically a bang.

I want that at each bang received, a fixed number of randomly chosen toggles is activated and the others are deactivated. The idea is that these toggles are connected to bypass on/off separate effects in Jitter, so that at each bang a different combination of effects is activated.

Any suggestions on how this could be done?

I am in the process of working on my Final Master's Project in Sound Design using my DJ Controller. I am currently running into issues with my Max Patch shutting down on me. I want to use two instances of Serum (Using my DDJ Left and Right Jog wheels to select midi notes that then trigger sound in my SERUM2), however I am noticing that it will work, until I start the other instance of Serum2 (jog wheel) or when I use my jogwheel to increase the velocity of the sound. The Sound Design will begin to crackle and ultimately cause my Max Patch to shut down abruptly. I am looking to include 4 Audio Samples to this max patch (to sample splice using my Left and Right Pads on my DDJ Controller). Anyone have an idea on what I could do to optimize this max patch without having to take out either instance of SERUM2?

i have two top level patchers, of which one created the other by opening it from disk.

now patcher 1 sends some stuff to patcher 2 (mostly thispatcher commands), and after everything is done i´d like to delete the [r ] which has been used for that, before patcher 2 is finally saved to disk.

it is clear that there can´t be a solution, but i felt like asking for one.

https://docs.cycling74.com/learn/articles/06_synthesischapter05/

 ) with the 05yFMSynthesis.maxpat patch that uses simpleFM~  

In the screenshot, I'm using 900 for the carrier freq and 800 for the Harmonicity val with mod and amp envelopes, and the sound is  sort of a noisy percussion sound.  

I'm trying to reproduce this sound in FM8 ( or in any FM synth ) with a simple 2 operator config ( one operator modulating a carrier ) but not having any luck getting a similar sound.  I'm not sure what to use for the Carrier and Modulator ratios ( am using 1.00 for Carrier ratio and 0.88 for the Mod ratio ( 800 / 900 ) but probably don't understand  how this works. ).   I'm approximating the Mod and Amp envelopes in FM8.  

Would this be possible in FM8 ( or any other FM synth)?  Thanks for any help!

I'm going through the FM tutorial ( https://docs.cycling74.com/learn/articles/06_synthesischapter05/ ) with the 05yFMSynthesis.maxpat patch...

Hello, I have mc objects with 8 chans and want to mute some of them, so that they use no CPU. How to do so? I fount mc.voiceallocator~ but it seems it will dynamic set the voices. I simply want to mute chan 2 3 7 for example.

I'm new to Max and RNBO, and I need some help to understand what I do wrong.

I would like clicking a button on the website to trigger a sound from a buffer.

The audio files are loading, as are the buffers, but there seems to be a communication error with the patch <inport>.

Below is the JavaScript code, along with a screenshot of my patch.

I have been discovering M4L for a few days and my poor English absolutely does not help me advance in my search.

Until then, for a few years I worked my bass on Guitar Pro and Ableton which had the role of an instrument. Guitar Pro has a very useful asset for work, which is not found elsewhere, it is the management of the % tempo, per range of +/-5%.

To summarize: when reading the score, we select the tempo and the "-" & "+" keys on the keyboard allow you to increase or decrease the tempo in a range of 5%. There is also a drop-down menu with a certain number of % to choose from and there is also the solution to fill in the tempo we want this time in bpm.

The disadvantage is that all this is not controllable in MiDi...

The idea would therefore be to export the pieces, exercises etc... from GP to Ableton in MiDi and use M4L to build a work tool that would respond to this:

So I started writing a patch by inquiring here and there. I will propose it to you below in image format but also in writing, maybe the study, the correction this one can interest you!

At this stage, I am not getting the desired result, and for a total novice at the start of this project, it is not necessary to have already spent a few hours there! )

I wrote my first external with the help of a friend and decided to publish the beta version. It's called [voice-alligator].

https://github.com/EdLud/voice-alligator/releases/download/alpha/voice-alligator.alpha-1.0.zip

I think it's a powerful and versatile external for people interested in making polyphonic synths in max. 

Here is a screenshot from the help file that gives a short overview of the features of [voice-alligator]:

It took quite a few days of work. Learning c++ was certainly a challenge but the hugest challenge was actually nailing down the design/ understanding what it was I exactly wanted my external to do.

Anyway, I'm quite proud of it and also of the help-file. 

It is a beta version because it still has some bugs - I'm looking for help with those and you can find infos about these bugs in the tab "Hanging Notes" in the help-file. I tried to get some help by asking into the Discord Group a few weeks back but got no response, so i thought I'd just do my publishing post with a beta release first and see if this generates a bit more interest.
