is there any chance to use the user interface like we see it in the inspector or max-preferences window for "own purpose" ?

in particular i want to build a dict (or json) based interface to comfortably edit some preferences we need in the ppooll environment.

So after quite a long time of development and documentation I am ready to release Data Knot v1.0 (formerly SP-Tools), a Max package of machine learning tools for low latency real-time performance. The package, along with a load of tutorial videos, will go live on the Max Package Manager next week on the 15th of October.

It’s a monumental update. The updated package is made up of 125 objects across 13 categories spanning low latency onset detection, onset-based and real-time descriptor analysis, classification and clustering, regression and prediction, corpus analysis and querying, synthesis and modeling, audio, data, and CV processing, and a slew of other abstractions that are optimized for low latency applications.

To celebrate the launch, I will be doing a livestream on YouTube at 8pm (GMT+1) / 3pm (EST). (

Leading up to the launch I will be posting a couple of videos. The first is a mini teaser showing a bit of what’s in store with the second one being the full Performance and Musical Examples video.

Hello - I am running an installation that needs to have Max be the foremost app on startup.  

When the computer shuts down and starts up again (daily),  the max patch reloads normally.  However, the desktop is still on the Finder window, not on Max.  Thus, when the activation switch for the installation  is depressed, it doesn't register on the max window.  It won't work until I physically click the cursor on the max patch.  And I am not at the location to do that.

Is there a way to make sure that the Max window is foremost on the desktop when restarting?  Does anyone have an automator sequence that would do this, or can guide me with the steps necessary to accomplish this?  Many thanks-

So with that out the way here's some background

 with varying levels of success with patch creation and troubleshooting. The coding assistant often falls down conceptually from jumping from pure code creation to the visual programming nature of Max. The 

 and often gets confused even if it can decode and create the raw patching JSON.

So I thought I'd cracked this when I found the project 

 which translates a maxpatch into python and vice versa. At first the AI does better with this and I made some jumps forward with a thorny problem in a patch of mine based on the suggestions the assistant made. However when it comes to actually getting the assistant to revise and write patches the whole thing quickly becomes bogged down with misplaced objects and misunderstandings of Max concepts.

So I went back to the drawing board and started looking at using pure Javascript which I'm currently testing with Codex.

So my question is, do Max users have any experience with this ? Could Javascript be the correct approach ? Or am I never going to find what I'm looking for without an AI LLM specifically trained in Max examples and documentation. I don't know if Cycling 74 would even consider doing such a thing ?

Hi,

I should qualify my reasons here.

i've been working on waveguides for a little while, and i've been curious of creating a model that could produce an oscillation without using a "long" delay line , but only 1 samples feedback loops.

i realized that in some situation, manipulating the gain of a really short delay line could produce low oscillations. i am surprised by that and i don't understand how it's possible. i have a here an example of an oscillator that is almost in tune, that can create almost any frequency without the use of a "long" delay line, or a wavetable, or a sine/cosine object.

it seems like this system is a self-sustained oscillator, as it produces a periodic oscillation without any periodic input. through trial an errors, i found the formulas in order to tune the oscillator and define its frequency properly, and also to adjust the output's amplitude accordingly.  

does anybody know if this oscillator could be useful ? i wonder how this is even possible. at least, adding some fm modulation and self modulation can create interesting chaotic sounds, that are a bit different from the sounds achieved with more traditional, parametric oscillators.

I use my own Max 9 standalone version and the bundled M4L version.

I cannot use the same settings for both for various specific reasons and would like to separate the two if possible.

I have a Max project that I made in version 8 that has become strangely unreliable, in that it works on some but not all of a group of seemingly identical iMacs.  

I have a teaching lab full of iMacs that I use for a class about music and brains, and I made a little patcher to record people's ratings of randomly presently intervals.  It uses the AU DLS synth, a choice which seemed to make sense at the time because I wanted a piano sample, and the DLS sample is good enough for this exercise.  But now I find that the same patcher works on some machines, is very quiet on others, and on some machines, makes no sound at all.

It seems as if the master volume on the DLS synth is getting changed without me realizing it, and I don't know how to change it back.  Is there some kind of a message I need to send to the DLS synth?  I found this link

https://docs.cycling74.com/legacy/max8/vignettes/built_in_midi_synth

which talks  about using message boxes and a particular start to the messages, ;#SM, but I don't know the message would be to change the volume, or even where to look for this info (besides here.)

Here's the project - can anyone help me troubleshoot this?  I'm sure the answer is stupidly simple....but it is a stupidly simple thing that I don't know (draw your own conclusions!)

DIADINATOR2.zip

Click on the "seal" in the lower right corner to start - it is supposed to present a random dyad, from a random midi note between 50 something and 60 something....you rate it by pressing 1 to 7 on the keyboard and hitting return, at which point it plays a different dyad on a different root.  It keeps track of the data (check the console) and at the end of 24 trials asks you to save the file. 

On half of my iMacs, it works perfectly.  On 3 of them, it is silent.  On another 2 or 3, it is very quiet.  An explanation would be much appreciated!
