I've got two different JSUI objects with their own javascripts. I was curious if one javascript can read an array from the other javascript?

i know I can send a message to the other JSUI and have it fire a function which will return the array to the other JSUI, but I'd like to skip that, mostly because I'm trying to keep the script as fast as possible and don't want any micro delays in sending data back and forth this presumably slow way..

i tried creating a root variable without "var" in front of it to theoretically make it be a global variable the other script could read but that didn't work. My assumption is that only works when the same JS file is used multiple times...?

[js]/[jsui] can access dictionaries, colls and matrices defined in your patch. Another way is Global object (check globalvar-example from examples->javascript->patcher-scripting ).

hmm.  i didn't want to use any max devices in this script.  only pure JS.  I've run into so many other issues with max devices in the past that I'm trying to skip them entirely this time.  (well, except for buffer / sig  / groove this time because I have no choice but to use them.  :P  )

and I've used global objects before in JS, but as far as i know it only works if you're using the same JS file multiple times.  I'm not.  These are two completely different scripts for two completely different JSUIs.    I just tried creating a global object in one script and reading it from the other and it fails because it's null.

aha! i think i figured out what i was doing wrong...  i was only declaring the global variable once in scriptB. (and trying to read it from scriptA)

I guess what i was supposed to do is declare it in scriptA AND declare it in scriptB.  (and i have only scriptB write to it and have scriptA read it and it appears to read what was written to it.)

Yep, if you want to stay in JavaScript world Global object should be the solution.

How to read one JS file's data from another JS?

I wanted to share a solution/workaround for noisy Xcode warnings... 

Importing Max C headers under the Max 8 SDK projects w/ Catalina and Xcode 11.4 generates a distracting number of compiler warnings:

20 x "This function declaration is not a prototype"

There's a clang pragma to suppress the warning. Wrap any Max header #include statements in main.c with the "-Wstrict-prototypes" option ignored:

// ignore C function prototype warnings
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wstrict-prototypes"
#include "ext.h"
#include "ext_obex.h"
#include "z_dsp.h"
#pragma clang diagnostic pop

One warning left: "Traditional headermap style is no longer supported." can be fixed by changing the project build setting:

"Always Search User Paths (Deprecated)" = NO // was: YES

If anyone spots something dubious, kindly post a note in this thread. Or perhaps the prototype warnings could be suppressed within the build .config file? I don't like to change the library source files though.

In my experience, you can let Xcode fix "This function declaration is not a prototype" with its "Fix this" feature and all will be well. Is there any reason to avoid letting Xcode make the automatic fix?

 

Alternately, you can just disable Strict Prototypes in Build Settings

re: "fix this" started offered to change Cycling74's headers. 

Changing strict protype=no in XCode's build settings is equivalent the clang pragma(s).

I made this patch that show and hides the sliders in relation to the number of nodes selected with the numberbox

Although this patch is working as I wanted, it seems as to many strings going around. Could anyone think about a better solution ?

I'm creating a patch which will convert MIDI notes to the last played notes for being able to play tremolos with both hands. I want to be able to modify the keys which will trigger the last played note (or chord) from the interface (I'd like to have 1, 2 or 3 keys for the left hand as well as for the right hand, but I want to be able to change my set-up easily). Therefore, I need to find a way to route MIDI notes from a list that can vary in number of integers and in the integers themselves.

Ex : I select MIDI notes 0, 1, 2, 125, 126 and 127 for the "tremolo" keys. Every time the patch receives one of the notes it will play the last played note instead of the original.

How can I route these variables? I can't seem to find any object which routes dynamically...I've seen xroute from older threads but apparently not available for mac...

easiest-way-to-route-dynamic-lists

For some reason [zl stream] pops into my head.

That is not going to be that long list .
I would reserve up to 10 possible values,
use simple route object to replace values in use
and set rest of the route members to something like -1 - so they get ignored.
Passed velocity would then retrigger held notes.


@Bill 2 : yes, zl.stream is good for creating the list, but I'm looking for a way to compare this list to the played midi notes for either playing the dry note as-is or playing the last played note again.

@Source Audio : that's exactly what I did in the mean time (except with select and cycle for distributing the list to the select object) but I'd rather leave the possibility of having any number of keys if possible, plus I'm simply curious to know what to do in this situation in case I really do need a possibly infinite number of arguments in future situations. :)

@Double UG : zl.sect would've been perfect if it was doing the opposite, that is banging on input matching and outputting the non-matches, just like select object. I need to keep the "dry notes" values.

Since I definitely have only two splits to do, I decided to go with Roman's suggestion. This leaves me with the possibility of any number of keys triggering the tremolo and is also pretty elegant. Here's the patch in case you're curious (it's with M4L).

It is allways interesting and helpful to see all possible
solutions and compare them.
We all learn from that.
zl.sect would be a perfect companion with zl.filter
and more effective than 2 split objects, but I prefer route because of
separated stream of velocities, which might become important
depending on usage of split notes.
But at the end what counts is to have it work as it should
or at least how one imagines it should.
Here is a better splitter without route, passing
only notes:

I mistakenly thought you wanted to tremolo currently held notes,
the way you did it it is not possible to hold few keys,
do tremolo, change keys in between etc. because of stripnote.
But one can tremolo last collected notes even if no notes are held.




Aah, nice! The combination of zl.sect and zl.filter is the answer to my original question. This will be very useful to know. :)

And yes, for the tremolo triggering, I feel like it makes more sense to trigger the last played note (or chord, easily programmed with the thresh object) because that way I don't have to worry about keeping the keys pressed down for the tremolo notes to trigger (releasing them too early would make the "trigger keys" trigger nothing). Anyway, it seems to work perfectly fine, both for one notes or chords, but like you said it's good to see all possible solutions.

Hi - this seems such a simple problem yet I can't find it being discussed. Just returning to Max after many years. I'm running Max 8 on a Windows 10 laptop, and anytime I play audio - such as an audio file or a signal generator into a DAC - I get the sound overlayed with static. I can hear the proper audio playing underneath, but the white-noise type static is always there. Is this likely to be an audio driver issue?

Some power supplies do make static noise, but more like
hi freq interference.
That could be in some cases solved by disconnecting earth line.
You can check that by simply disconnecting power supply and run on battery.
Is that noise Max only, or does other softwer suffer from it too ?
A screenshot with dsp settings might be helpful.
And - mme driver  does not allways play nice on Windows 10.
directsound or ASIO usually works better


Thanks - it's working now. I switched to a different audio driver and back to the mme one - and restarted the computer - and it seems to be restored.

As you can see fro the sreen shot , al is set to follow the transport 

Red metro is banging out bars ( cycle~ 440 hz) , green metro bangs out forths , ycle 880 Hz 

Now when I start the master toggle it waits for the global transport to be turned on , so far so good , let's show up the master transport and press play 

Now when the global transport is playing , stop the toggle in between bars , when re-activating the toggle the number readout of bars (red ) don't line up anymore with the actual sound playing , red metro @ 440hz

What is now correct , the actual readout or the sound playing ?

question-about-transport-and-stopping-toggle-while-transport-is-playing


you are currently banging transport and make it report its current status.

wouldnt be turning it on and off be what you wanted?

and note the order; tranport is beeing triggered before 2n


I thought banging the transport was the  way to make it show bars, beat, units at it's output 
Is there another way ?

Here 's the same is happening , using metro4n @ active 1 directly to transport , and a metro 1n@active 1(red ) same sync problems .
This is all getting pretty confusing 
 

Here I got rid of the toggle 
Just using @ active argument  , beat and bars are out of sync 

I assume the @ active means that the  metro is synced to the master clock , and doesn't need a toggle to start , both are set @active 1 , meaning first transport ? 
The manual is not clear about any of this  

It would be great if you could alter the patch so it syncs after stopping re-starting the toggle 

 Here both metros set to @active 1  , one is 4n the other 1n
Totally out of sync when transport starts




that there is a transport object doesnt mean that you would require that weird thing  to do simple stuff. it somehow seems easier to use the metro output to make you own bars and beats display.

the invisible crosslinks between metro and transports are a mystery, i live in a world of milliseconds and counter objects, that seems easier. 

back in the days when transport did not exist we had to build it on our own and then it does what you want. :)

i think when you set it to "resetbarcount 1" it should be enough to resend the time signature and it should fully reset to other objects on restart. but i just didnt get it working in m7 either.






the 1n (your last patch) always comes on the "3", it´s wicked.

This is unlocked misterious global transport.
I would not in a dream try to build any tight sequencing around that


I am not sure wht you guys are trying to say , avoid the transport because it's not tight and use the metro's milliseconds approach ? 
That's not a solution at all and merely indicates there is in underlying roblem 
For me the metro set to n-values are pretty tight when scheduler overdrive and audio interrupt is on , even when using 32n for rapid hi-hats .
The problem was when stopping and restarting   metro's  , it loses sync with the main transport .
I wan't to use max for composing and am used to rock solid timing with reaktor ,renoise + architect ( seriously check out loomer's architect , i'ts an amazingmodular midi environment )
If global transport should be avoided and max Millisec. timing is the way to do it I'll probably won't get a subscription ( my demo will run out in a few days ) 


i know that you are about to check out all objects atm and not build on a concrete project, but transport is one of these objects you usually do not need to make thing work. if can save you a lot of time if you need exactly that - but the more "high level" an object is, the less it contains a general approach useful in many situations.

it is a good all in one solution if you really need to be able to pause and restart a song at any given time position, but everything else seems easier with simple objects.

when i first saw the global transport and it didnt even have buttons for "start" "stop" and "resume" like DAWs usually have, i decided to ignore it.

you can see here how fun it can be already only to discuss all the philosophical aspects of bars, beats, crotchets, PPQ, BPM, milliseconds, industry standards and personal needs, the "correct" music theory and best practice programming https://cycling74.com/forums/tempo-doesnt-respect-time-signature

so it is no wonder that sometimes there are objects not everybody loves or which do not work for you.
like i recently said in a similar thread, if something doesnt work for you, use something different. it doesnt matter if it is a bug or your fault or whatever.

i know that this doesnt answer your original question how to make transport work with metro.

oh yeah and architect is fun, that´s a good piece of work. it is very close to what i do with max, but has the better user interface. unfortunately it is very midi focused.



note that transport is the global transport. as soon as you want to run two tempi side by side, it is already useless. with premade solutions you are bound in chains.


I am just trying to see the bigger picture how I could merge the projects together 
I have made some nice patches , some for straight 4/4 techie stuff , some more esoteric groove~mangling etc ..all pretty nice .
So the next logical step for me is to tie all these sequences together , I am well aware  this wil take effort and time 
About architect , yes I am pretty much blown away by it , bought it from day one , and we're almost 2 years in beta stage , amazing knowing it's a one man's creation 
THe developer colin as an all round great guy , constantly lisening to user input and updating it , the next   update will have gui objects directly accesable from the structure view .
 

@ roman , you wrote that you  use the standard max timing format , may I ask you how you keep things in sync ? 
Are you using a master metro clock  and simple division, multiplication for other metros ( ake from master metro time 0) ? 


first of all i never mix sequencing at data rate with sequencing at audio rate, it is either...or for me.

and secondly, with one exception, all my "sequencing" releated projects dont offer pause/resume functionality - so to sync two metros they just would both receive a global (or sub-global) 0 and 1.

say i would have to make two clocks, one for beats and one for bars. 

there would somewhere be a global BPM setting for the user, and then one metro can be set to "1/8" and the other one to "1/16".
the resulting time values are given to the metro objects  in millisecond  (fyi: in my old version of max there is only milliseconds for most objects!) and to start both i would send "1" to both.

further need of "sychronisation" is not needed for such a system (unless you turn the high priority thread off and need to collect the data into lists later or something like that.)

if i want to add "SMPTE time" i would control an independent clock from the global start/stop. 

if i need a "bar count" display/number output i would have to use a 1/1 or 1/2 or whatever metro and count bangs since last start.

in an audio rate sequencer (which i believe is the less good solution for complex sequencing) i calculate everything in samples (in float, then round or truncate)

in my first sequencing project i once had a hard time to decide what functions go into a global patch and how to organize it.
in 2008 i have given up on a seperate pause/resume and my "transport" in 110.modular has been limited to the following basic functions:

 - a start/stop toggle going to a [send] (which can be used by other objects or ignored)

 - a BPM numberbox going to a [send] (which can be used by other objects or ignored) 

the BPM value also goes to a global [var] for other parts of the patch to fetch it from there, 

the BPM value also has its own outlet in case you need it this way elsewhere in the patch.

most metros and some del and pipe objects across the program now can receive these "master values" (running, not running, leght of 1/16 note in milliseconds)

(need muliple clocks? no problem, when you know how long a 1/16 note at 120 bpm is, you also know how long it would be at 130 BPM. or how long a 5/7 note would be at 33,7% slower than 120 BPM, you get the idea: it is all there by a simple rule of three.)

wherever required, the "stop" 0 from the global "transport" will also lead to reinitialization of everything which has to be initialized. (mostly counters)

so, to sum it up: the position of 0.0 in my "timeline" is the only one which is known everywhere, the rest runs "independent" from each other. 

we are at stop/0 - or we run. with the global speed, with something releated to it, or with its own speed.


Thanks for the answer , are you still on max 4.5 ?


mostly 4.1, 4.6, and sometimes 6 & 7, but i consider everything which is not available for max 4 an "third party object" and ignore it. :)

source audio elaborated on [transport] for polyrythm/polymetrics here https://cycling74.com/forums/help-with-polyrhythm-sequencer-quantized-to-transport-ticks thats where you want to continue reading.



if you would be a newbie, i would now recommend you to build your own "metro" patch from more basic objects - and then change it to your liking. great training.


Sustainable transport can save you money, improve your health and reduce your environmental footprint. 

Walk for short trips. Walking helps reduce body fat, lower blood pressure and is free. It may also take less time than you think. Studies have shown that most people will underestimate time related to car journeys and overestimate the time it will take to walk. The average walking pace is six kilometres per hour and if you walk you don’t need to find a car bay when you arrive. 

Cycle instead. Switching a ten kilometre journey per week from your car to your bike will burn around 300 calories each way and can save over 300 kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions each year.Did you know? 
Peak hour city trips up to ten kilometres in length are generally faster by bike than any other form of transport, door to door. A five to ten kilometre ride will take about 15 to 30 minutes.

Plan your journey. Use Transperth’s Journey Planner to check if there is convenient active transport option for a trip you take regularly.  

Consider car-pooling. Car-pooling is a great way to share costs of fuel and parking and to break the monotony of your daily commute.

Check your ticket. Tickets for many major sporting and cultural events in Perth include free public transport to and from the event. Skip the hassle of traffic and parking.

Think ahead. Bundle a number of small errands into one trip to save time and fuel. Consider if a phone call, email or letter would do instead.

Have a local adventure. Next time you are planning an outing or holiday, consider having some fun close to home. 

Make low emissions a priority. When purchasing a vehicle use the Australian Government's Green Vehicle Guide  to compare the fuel efficiency, greenhouse and safety ratings of the vehicles you are considering.

Enjoy the sunshine. We have an ideal climate for active transport, with on average 3,200 hours of sunlight per year – get out there and enjoy it. 

Green Driving. If you can’t avoid using a car reduce your impact by employing these green driving techniques:

Regularly check your tyre pressure. Under-inflated tyres can increase fuel consumption by three per cent and take 10,000 kilometres off the tyre's life.

Service your car regularly. A well-tuned car can use 15 per cent less fuel.

Slow down. Driving at 90 kilometres per hour uses 25 per cent less fuel than travelling at 110 kilometres per hour.

Don't idle. If you are stopping for more than ten seconds, turn your car off.

Drive smoothly. Stopping and starting uses more fuel.

Open your window rather than using your air conditioner when travelling at under 70 kilometres per hour. Air conditioning can increase fuel consumption by ten per cent. At speeds above this, the drag caused by having your window down will use more fuel than the air conditioning.

Screw on your fuel cap firmly to avoid evaporation and leaks when turning corners.

Travel light. Don't use your car to store heavy equipment for long periods of time, an extra 50 kilograms of weight increases fuel consumption by two per cent.

Remove roof racks and anything fixed to the outside of your car when they are not in use to minimise wind resistance.

Ha, ha Roman you nailed it - 
"i consider everything which is not available for max 4 an "third party object" and ignore it. :)"
I am almost as restrictive, only sometimes one gets forced to use some of this new stuff.
But I would never use translate object for example, just dislike it.
My worst one is that loudspeaker ezdac gibberish



it is both at the same time: my personal filterbubble (why should i use soundfileplayer and transport when i a kind of invented that before c74 had it? or translate or zl.stream - i also have my own) - and at the same time also a philosophy / method (which i could substantiate on request)

to be honest... what i also do is to add 4.6 vanilla externals to MacOS9 where possible (regexp, deferlow, pak(!!!), some 5-10 more) 

and of course i am sometimes jealous about the bugfixes in lcd, about the new  [cycle] which takes lists now, or mpe & co, things which i could really need but have locked myself out with my  downwards compatibilty disorder (not so much about [jit.weirdparticleexplosion] for GL4 and all those sissie objects)

i am cuuuurious for the day when stefan t. manages to get the pace interlok driver installed under 10.15, so that the use of m4 is secured for another year (and possibly hardware generation) more.


Question about transport , and stopping toggle while transport is playing 

Chi Him Chik

I am not so experienced to jitter in Max, but recently I figured there is a output texture mode in the jit.grab object and I was trying to use it to skip the matrix to GL conversion with jit.gl.texture (I work a lot on live visuals so I need everything to be on GL). But I found out when the jit.grab object's output texture mode is on, it doesn't output anything. I messed with the object by connecting it to a jit.pworld, have the attribution as @output_texture 1 and @automatic 1, configured the macbook webcam, and make sure the object is outputting something by attaching it with a bang. I turned on the object with the open message, the webcam light is on (so it is actually running) and there is bangs from the jit.grab (so the object is also running), but there is nothing projected onto the jit.pworld but only all black.

Hi! 
I am not so experienced to jitter in Max, but recently I figured there is a output texture mode in the jit.grab object and I was trying

jit-grab-texture-output-mode-problem

first thing to try is switching the glengine back to gl2 and see if that fixes it. 

Hi Rob, it works! Thank you for the suggestion! 

I know I am a noob... But could I ask why would that happen? Somehow that only happens to my computer but not the other..

hard to say but possibly gl3 does not play nicely with your Intel card. What model mac are you running this on? maybe we can track down similar specs for some internal testing.

Hmmm.... Its a Macbook Pro 13-inch from 2016, with 2.9 Ghz i5 Processor, 8GB RAM, Intel Iris Graphics 550 1536MB

ok thanks for the info. our support team should have one of these so I'll see if anyone can reproduce.

unfortunately we cannot reproduce any issues with outputting textures from jit.grab when using the gl3 engine on the same machine as yours.

maybe send along your patch and I'll see if there's anything that stands out to me.

Strange.. is that computer also on 10.12.6 (Sierra)? Just FYI, my graphic processor is Intel Iris Graphics 550 1536 MB.

I just tried comparing between jit.grab texture and matrix output, and it still didn't work out, here what it is:
Thank you very much again in advance!!!!

I'm not sure what could be the problem, possibly OS. Most of us are on 10.14/10.15. 

maybe try with just a simple jit.grab straight into a jit.world

also, please post to the forums using copy-compressed in the future.

My bad.
I just tried it, it doesn't work either...  I guess the OS is the problem then...

I'm sure this has been answered before, but I'm pretty new to all of this. Ideally, I need something that will lookup the computer's ip address and then a way to set it to udpsend and udpreceive while in presentation mode. The end result is a bundled application. I've developed a patch for my college students for the now online course I have to teach. They are not learning Max, they are just using the patch I built and TouchOSC to control it. I need it to be pretty simple to lookup the ip and set it for the OSC control. I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ip-lookup

I think typically folks use the shell external for this, although maybe its easier to do now with node-for-max.

here's how i've done it in the past for both mac and windows:

There is also the good old [mxj net.local] as explained here: https://cycling74.com/tutorials/networking-max-talking-to-max
or, since you are working with TouchOSC, you can use the [zero.announce] object included in the zero package (available in the package manager), so the address will be discovered directly by TouchOSC

I am using Michael Egger's "alert"-object but for whatever reason it doesn't work anymore in Catalina, although I got the 64 bit version. Does anyone know where to get a newer version. OR: Michael Egger, do you read this?

I have been struggling to send audio via the internet for the past few months and figured that it was about time to pull out the big guns; i.e. the all knowing peoples on the Max forum. I am in Boulder Colorado, and my collaborator is in Basel Switzerland, so this would be data over the internet, not a local area network. I am wondering if anyone out there has had any recent success sending audio to another machine over the internet using Max/MSP and/or other software, and if so, what their configuration is.

I have read on many threads here that UPD is probably the best way to go as far as protocols. Max has the jit.net.send/receive patches as part of the networking tutorial and there's always udpsend/receive. I've also explored the option of using something like JackTrip to establish a server and then just send all audio from Max out that way via the audio driver.

I think that the biggest hurdle I have at this point is that, in most cases, neither one of us will have access to the router for the network we are on (sometimes university and sometimes office networks), and thus cannot setup port forwarding and a subsequent p2p connection. I have tried using FreeLan to establish a VPN, but without success. I am currently looking into Hamachi for VPNs and also someone has suggested LoLa, though, I am not 100% sure what that package does (I have an email out to their developers).
