Feature Request: DoublePlusGood Math Operators for Max
Jul 16 2012 | 2:38 pm
Maybe this isn't where we're supposed to do feature requests, and I'm not entirely sure what to call this, BUT.
I would love, LOVE to have a series of math operators (+, -, *, /, %, etc) that have [t b f] built into them - ie, input on either inlet causes output. Maybe call them like [+`] or [+*] or SOMETHING. You guys figure the naming scheme out, I'll just use them incessantly.
Seriously, it's very rare these days that I instantiate a math operator WITHOUT also having to [t b f] the second inlet - I know that for purposes of backwards compatibility there tends to be an aversion to changing the functioning of core objects like this, so having another set of objects that works this way would be grand.
Know what? Maybe I'll just go do it myself. Can't be that hard to teach myself C...

- Jul 16 2012 | 3:13 pmPsh, that's the EASY way out.And probably what I'll do. :P
- Jul 16 2012 | 4:50 pmmake abstractions or clippings. it is sort of the point of max.for this sort of thing i'm a clippings person myself. but here is an abstraction:

- Jul 16 2012 | 5:12 pmI thought from the title of the post that it was a request for using doubles (instead of floats) in Max. That would be very welcome when writing data into soundfiles/tables/etc.
