maxMsp7 + madMapper

Karen Chan's icon

Hello, I am very new to maxMsp and madMapper.
I would like to know if it is possible for maxMsp7 to connect with madMapper via syphon?
That was recommended on the syphon tutorial page with max 5; I have been trying to find the "patches" location as suggested but even downloading the syphon for max was not even possible to find.

May I ask if anyone has any idea if it is possible for max 7 to connect with madMapper then?

Cheers.
Karen

Hi Karen,

I had this problem too a couple of days ago. Here's how i got it to work:

1. Download the Syphon zip from here: https://github.com/Syphon/Jitter/releases/
2. Unzip if needed and copy the folder named "Syphon" inside to ---> Users ▸ ??? ▸ Documents ▸ Max 7 ▸ Packages
3. Restart and you should be able to see the externals in Max7. Namely jit.gl.syphonclient & jit.gl.syphonserver. There is also help patches for the externals in the folder.
4. Use the attribute "@output_texture 1" in your jit.gl.world -object to output texture and patch the left most output to Syphon.

The texture is coming out umm vertically flipped? So yeah, you still need to flip the texture.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.
