I watched videos about this and tested a lot but I obv lack some understanding. I got this patch I want to play with the Harmonic Minor Intervals. I'd like to have F as my 'root' note. However, why does sending a 69 MIDI note still give me 440 hz, while A is not part of the F Harmonic Minor scale?

Setting @mid seems to do nothing.. Someone to the rescue?

I have objects moving in a sphere and I want shadows projected onto the inner walls of the sphere @cull_face 2, I achieved most of what I want (see patch) with one object in the sphere. Now I would like to have a jit.gl.multiple instead of a single object. If I do that sadly only one shadow shows up

. I know I could use a camera @capture 1 to create reflections but I was trying to avoid that (too expensive). Any ideas?

I’m looking for a way to calculate the diversity of a list, and I would like to count how many occurrences of elements there are in a list. For example, I have a list like:

and I would like an output that tells me how many times the different values appear. It doesn’t matter which values they are — I’m only interested in how many occurrences there are. I don’t know the input values in advance, nor the size of the list.

For the example above, I would simply like to obtain a list like:

(which are the occurrence counts for the distinct elements).

I have a patcher that is doing exactly what I want it to do.....except for one thing.  When it opens, it has the master volume (the one that appears at the lower right border of most patcher windows - see attached) totally cranked up, so that the sound is distorted.  It's easy enough to turn down the volume, but less easy explaining to people who have never used the program, ever, how to find that slider (command 8 and make the window bigger......)  

So I'm wondering: is there a way to set a value for that slider other than "Turn it up to 11, man!"??

I'm building a sort of arpeggiator. I want to sort incoming Midi from the lowest note to the highest note when playing a quantized chord into my device. 90% of the time the midi from Ableton actually is already sorted that way, so the first note that arrives is the lowest and I can happily use a Poly object. 

But with some chord changes this does not work - usually if I only change one note in my chord from one to the next. 

Is there a way to do this without too much latency? I've tried a few methods before but they all create some sort of latency. I hope I'm not asking for something impossible.

When you work in Max/MSP what techniques, tools, or workflows help you solve problems or build patches more efficiently? Do you focus on specific objects, structuring your patches, debugging methods, or something else? I’m curious what approaches other users find most useful and why.

I want to send an OSC message to an external machine. I'm first trying it locally on port 7400 to test. I'm using the udpsend object and sending it the message, for example, "titi".

I'm using Packet Sender software to scan my port 7400, but it's not seeing "titi" but "titi\00\00\00\00,\00\00\00". I don't want all those symbols because my external machine doesn't recognize them!

I tried using a Node script (I'm not an expert) but it didn't work! Do you have any ideas on how to send my messages?

Hey! I have the jit.gl.multiple object to place many objects in space. these objects are cones. and I want the pointy end to be facing outward, away from the center of the Image. I have not been able to find the solution to rotate them outwards. thanks in advance for suggestions!
