Set dialog output to a default when returning nothing.

Dialog does not output anything if the field is empty on return, except the prefix ‘symbol’ (outputmode 0).

Split the dialog output, store the right list in zl.reg and run the left list through zl.len. Output the default if 1 (no data), else pop the register and strip the prefix on the way to output.

When dialog returns the prefix ’symbol’ without data, zl.len counts the length as 2, even though whatever-2nd-element is hidden from mortal eyes. It also counts it as 2 when there IS one data element, or higher of course if there are multiple data elements.

Feed the output from dialog to a tosymbol and immediately fromsymbol it back before the split. This removes the whatever-2nd-element and the count will be true.

Objective:
Set dialog output to a default when returning nothing.

The issue: 
Dialog does not output anything if the field is empty on...

I'm looking for a way to make (or find) a device with a simple button that say : 

It would create an automation with a single breakpoint on each parameter ( like aux sends, volume, pan, plugins, clip gain...). 

A great feature would be "except ( - Track On/off - clip - mixer - plugin...)" and delete .

I can't find a way with Live Object Model (except call_clear_automation) and i'm still a beginner with Max.

Hello,

We need to stream 32 audio channels from one computer to another one.

Same network. Just an ethernet Gigabit connection between them.

Dante Via seems to be limited to 16 channels, but it works (very) fine.

Dante Virtual Soundcard seems to be ok for up to 64.

We tried this one (trial version) but it seems we miss something.

Do we need more than Dante Virtual Soundcard to stream 32 channels between our two computers ?

Of course, there are Jack Audio for networking too etc. But I already rely on Dante and it is very solid so, it was my first bet.

Dante Virtual Soundcard doesn't provide a master clock (or to use the new, inclusive, terminology, a leader clock), it won't work without some Dante hardware device on the network set as master.
AFAIK, Via is limited to 16 channels, and works only at 48kHz. But it does work without a hardware clock.

Hi Julien,
as you know, we constantly stream 64 channels of audio and Dante Virtual Soundcard has always been working very reliably for us. The only limitation being that you need a Dante hardware clock acting as a master on the network.

Hi pdelges & Luigi, thanks a lot for your answer.
I totally got the point here.

Is it possible to know the implementation of the objects in max/msp? For example, I want to know the mathematic theory behind the object "kink~", but I only can find the description of the relation between the output and input instead of the code of its implementation.

mathematic-theory-behind-kink

I'm not sure what you mean by "theory" here - the prose text in the kink~ object's help file (which is taken directly from the refpage, by the way) describes quite precisely how the calculation is done.


the ref page says that it applies a "slope". 

i would more generally say that the math behind it is in the field of "scaling a range". like tanh, cos, or *.

but both these desciptions wont explain what exact formula is used in case someone wants to replicate the functionality.

i am big fan of helpfiles such as the mtof one, which has always been revealing exactly what it does.


Apparently, you haven't looked at mtof.maxhelp in a while.

if ( * slope) < 0.5 then output =  * slope
else, a complimentary slope will be applied that connects 0.5 to 1.0 over the remaining input values.

I think that the complementary slope would be something like 0.5/(1-(0.5/slope)), with an offset applied (1 - complementarySlope?) to make it fit. 

I'm just having my coffee, so excuse me if the math is not exactly correct.


haha, but what IS slope? the rest is clear.

mtof ... duh. not even in the ref. and i bet it has changed and i will find out when the first incompatibilty occurs.


Re mtof, ftom, dbtoa, and atodb formulae:Pitch and loudness formulae

seems i just dont know the word. mb the OP had the same problem.

christopher: how do you know when it is no longer in the helpfile?

My apologies if this is a dumb question.  I have decades of experience with max, and zero experience of max4live....

I'd like to know when and where in a clip live is playing and use that info in max.  I can see needing the information a few different ways...

One...  Whenever a clip with a specific name is playing in Live I'd like to receive the timecode in some format in max.

Two... Whenever a clip is playing in a specified track and/or slot in live.

Is this something I have to make a Max4Live plugin for, or is it easier?

My apologies if this is a dumb question.  I have decades of experience with max, and zero experience of max4live....

I'd like to know when...
