I need to input some generated information to a textedit object. The text is supposed to be multi-line.

I've read several threads about the subject of outputting muli-line text from textedit but not the opposite.

Anyway, I've managed to do it, but I can't think of a way to get rid of the symbol quotes without losing the line-breaks. It seems it's one or the other.

The obvious solution would be for textedit to interpret the incoming text as a symbol and get rid of the quotes internally, as is the case with the comment object... (or at least to have that option in the inspector).

Is there any workaround that you can think of? Thanks!

I am trying to use my MIDI controller (midi Fighter Twister) to edit one of the breakpoints on a curve in a 

 object.  I have my controller setup to output 63 for down and 65 for up 1 unit increments.  When I initially set this up, it seemed to work fine but after reopening the file and making an edit, the points snap to other locations and do not increment as expected.   

, extracting the x and y values for the 3rd point, adding or subtracting the value from the control, paking the list, then sending it back in to the 

 object.  It seems like there is an issue with the loop and the unpack is always getting the zero values?

 to address possible order of ops issues but that did not solve it.  After reopening this the 3rd point will always go back to 26.578, 0.  Any ideas?

* Also, in this file, I took out the controller connection and am using the 63 and 65 messages to increment.

I know it gets brought up every once in a while, but I thought I'd post again to see what the interest was out there for getting Max working in Linux.

I jump between Mac, Winows, and Linux (Ubunutu) fairly regularly as no single OS can do everything I need under one roof. I teach at a university in physics and recording arts where I use Max, Wavelab, Nuendo, and Live extensively for demonstrations and PowerPoint/Keynote for presenting. I also run a recording/mastering/post studio where I again use Nuendo & Wavelab. But I also run an acoustic R&D company where I use Solidworks, QCAD, and a few other drawing/modeling tools. And lastly I head up an interdisciplinary research collective that mostly uses Max, but also vvvv, Processing, TouchDesigner, Quartz Composer, etc.

But I'm finding that I prefer Linux above Windows and Mac more and more for the sheer speed, customization, and adaptability even though it's by far the least supported for applications which really bums me out. While I'm a big supporter of open source I'm also happy to pay for good commercial software like Max. i just wish Max, and a few others, would run on Linux.

Max is one of the biggest hangups for me to not spend almost all of my time in Linux. PD is a great program, no doubt, but I rely on a lot of the awesome and amazing externals out there and the great Max community (along with a number of other reasons). Even getting Max to run under Wine would be OK, though native support would be much more preferable. But the iLok stuff only works on Mac/Win, even though I use the software key/internet activation.

So I'm interested if there's any other folks out there in the same boat as myself. I know Linux support is a low priority for most commercial companies that are trying squash bugs and be innovative, but I feel like Ubuntu and other flavors are on the rise and have some very cool potential in the multimedia realm (but that could also be just because I've been getting more into it personally). If there's enough of us requesting maybe we could see a Linux release in the future! Anyone else interested in seeing this happen?

I've been in metro for 25 years and am finally venturing into audio rate sequencing.

I am having trouble implementing swing while still having clean/no glitch behavior on start and stop of the sequence.  

I finally got a no-swing version of the sequencer to work pretty well (no missed beats/garbage on start or stop).

Any ideas as for how to implement swing here?

Or any other feedback on this strategy would be appreciated.

I need to scroll through the various steps of the live.step object.

I've set up my live.step object to be editable with a variable number of steps, but if I go from 8 steps to 64, the object zooms out to show all the steps.

My goal is to always have the Live.step window display 8 steps, even when the object is set to 16 or something else, but to be able to manually scroll through the subsequent steps when "the sequencer is turned off."

Is it possible to use a slider object as a service for a Live.step object?

Hi there, this is my first post here. I hope I am explaining thing right. 

I am looking for a way to analyze the evolution of melody and harmony in musical corpora. 

I was thinking about using the [anal] object to measure how many times a note go to another and extract some probabilities out of that. I believe this can then be used to generate variations or mimic the style of the analyzed melodies. It might be too simplistic tho. I don't know. I think it can work nicely for a single song analysis but the probs extracted wouldn't be rich enough to produce interesting variations. 

I think there is another problem with this way of analyzing. It doesn't catch the harmonic context of the melodies. And if I were to analyze a big collection of songs with each its own root note and modulations, my probability model would be completely unusable.

This project is not very mature rn. This post is more a call for references or examples from the community. If you have any idea of a method I could use or anything, I'll take it.

I've followed the tutorials below to make a step sequencer with adjustable length. What I'm having trouble with is the ability to keep the note values and on/off values of higher steps when the sequence is shortened. 

For example if I have a 16 note sequence I like, to be able to shorten it to 11 notes, and then lengthen back to 16 and have the original 16 note sequence I liked (with the same note values in the multi-slider and same on/off triggers in the matrixctrl).

Is this possible and if so I'd really appreciate any help - thanks so much!

I fell in love with plot~. It's great, but it tends to be a bit slow and let me allow myself to state that I feel it's a bit buggy without being able to give you a concrete example.

I remember I experienced quite some problems with plot~not updating if the contents of a buffer~change and it refers to it.

Also it is soooo much more beautiful and customizeable than waveform and scope~, could potentially replace both of them, but it's too slow..

Also, something more concrete I can say: If I display the contents of a buffer, and send the edit message to plot~, in order to adjust it's, say, line thickness, the dictionary editor also loads a for a really really long time.(this really seems to be a bug)

(the buffer is short, maybe 2 seconds, and I am aware of data thinning messages)

hm..now to the even more general question: is there any hope for bugfixes, or are we heading for paid upgrade to version 7..?

Hi.  I've been playing around with this object for a few days.  The help file is a bit perplexing but I have managed to make a little [techno~] set-up.  Can someone clarify a few things?
