i still can't get the way to remove those "F" , and separate the 2 numbers (or letters) following , in a list or else .

i 'll try to find out before anybody answers ,

hi all ,
i would lke to do this ,
how would you convert :

FFFFFF27 , to 2 and 7 ,
or , another example :
FFFFFF2E , to 2 and E 

i still can't get the way to remove those "F" , and separate the 2 numbers (or letters) following , in a list or else .
it seems so easy ...

i 'll try to  find out before anybody answers ,
and will triumph .

hi Patrick ,
thanks for the patch ,
that bitwise intersection object obviously seems to be the key ,
 i must admit i don't understand yet ...    that's very cool !
but i'm not sure we're resolving my problem completely ,
maybe it's done 99% , ...
i'll try to explain more .

the hex number we're working on will always be in the range (-255 --> 0) , sorry the range (FFFFFF01 --> 0)
( i know numbers are numbers are numbers , but i think it's important )
for the example of the value  "FFFFFF2E" (-210) ,
i have to remove these FFFFFF ,
then we have 2E , or 2 and E .
i have to perform another conversion , which is (weird ?) :
2 has to be considered as an ASCII character , and converted to a decimal ----> 50
E has to be considered as an ASCII character , and converted to a decimal ----> 69

my problem is that i can't get the letter "E" outputted, from a number box , even if it's displaying hex .
it will only output decimal .

but maybe i have (once again) let some evidence come to me ,
without shaking hands .

i don't think we can fill a message box with a letter , with this (thank you again) patch ,
can we ? 

oooooo
it seems to work perfectly , in all the cases ,

you surely saved me a looot of time ,
i now have to understand this "&" object .

that's a good lesson to learn for me ,
let's go ! 

did you know about the [atoi] object ?
you can also use regular expressions to strip the FFFFFF out of your message and use atoi to process the two remaining caracters...


@(karrrlo): as joumik  pointed out, a number is a number is a number, but it is not a symbol.
What he seems to manipulate are negative numbers, represented in hexadecimal. So you first need to convert the number in an hex symbol. I think this could be done with sprintf but I'm too far away from Max to be able to test this (I checked your patch using http://www.ahmetkizilay.com/ptc/ :-)
You're right about atoi, of course. I just wanted to show joumik it was quite an obvious conversion to do without any specialized object.


PS:   http://www.ahmetkizilay.com/ptc/   is very cool ! 


@Patrick  Delges , i was't exactly sure what Joumik needed as i was reading through the posts in diagonals , and it was a quick response i gave with the little time i had that day + your response was far more detailed  :)

and thanks for the  http://www.ahmetkizilay.com/ptc/ link, this is just wonderful !!!

@joumik glad everything is working out for you


negative hexadecimal conversion to integer, without FFFFFF prefix .

is it possible to trim automatically a sound file (loaded in a buffer) just before that the first audio sample starts ? In other words to trim automatically an eventual silence at the beginning of sound file before audio starts properly speaking?

Hello,
is it possible to trim automatically a sound file (loaded in a buffer) just before that the first audio sample starts ? In other word

trim-sound-file


not during import, but you can easily do it later. i would use 2 different buffer objects for that kind of thing.

Thanks, I can vaguely see what you suggest  but it's not make sense for me to duplicate a buffer and pass informations from one to the other just for that (not really elegant Max in my opinion)

Thanks, I can vaguely guess what you suggest but it's not really sense for me to duplicate a buffer for pass audio informations from one to the other just for that :(

[buffer~] (and [waveform~]) has the crop message to trim its buffer's contents. You just need to find the start and end indexes, maybe using peek~ to find where 0 stops and starts.

I built a rather large patch in Max/MSP designed for an upcoming piece which features numerous soundfiles, controlled by messages from a qlist object. I have had some issues getting the files to play consistently even though there are no error messages indicating lost files, and am troubleshooting the patch but in the meantime... 

1. CPU has been an issue with my patch, it is always quite elevated. Is there the possibility that cpu overload is causing my device (MacBook Pro 2015) to drop the soundfiles? Whenever a soundfile plays the CPU consumption tends to skyrocket... 

2. Would there be a way to fix the above CPU problem by feeding a certain form of soundfile (.mp3, .wav, others?) into sfplay~. Currently the soundfiles are a mix of formats which may be causing problems. 

3. Any other suggestions would be very much appreciated. There is not a great deal of time to fix the patch so no major alterations would be preferable.

sfplay~-issues

It is not possible to say much without having a look at the patch and
audio driver settings
sfplay~ is actually very easy on cpu, if one does not use
timestretch and pitchshift.
Otherwise it can get heavy on CPU load.
You should use wave or aiff, any other format will get converted
into cache folder to aiff anyway, before playing it.
And 44100 / 16 bit is good enough 


I'm not using timestretch or pitchshift but am sometimes running multiple sfplay~s simultaneously. 
I'll troubleshoot today and if there's still no clear solution, will post the patch and qlist messages.

What's is a scalar?

@val means simply value:
jit.op @op + @val 0.5
simply add  0.5 to the inlet.

Yeah, so I just got a Leapmotion (late to the party, AGAIN), and I'm having some trouble finding 101-type tutorials. All I can find is "download the SDK, edit this file, put in this folder, rename it, reboot your entire life, add this library, delete the  .config file, learn all Java.

I was hoping for a slightly more transparent and accessible way to plug it in, grab the OSC and map it to Max/PD/SC, even via Processing would do. Via OSX/Windoze/Fedora is fine. What's YOUR preference?

I've been trawling the forum all morning:

Please rank and rate your favourite leapmotion external, based on ease, transparency and, well, ease.

AeroMIDI, ManOSC, Processing etc. Sorted 

ircam's leapmotion is best in the terms you've described above (if you still want to include maxmsp ofc)
i use leapformax, more complex on install, but more customizable, and maybe more efficient


Any tips (guides) available for installing leapformax (Windoze)? Installation does look quite precarious . . . 

I'll have a try with leapformax (ircam is Mac only), and get back only if there are problems

Install the v2 software from the website: https://www.leapmotion.com/setup

Install this Max external: https://www.julesfrancoise.com/leapmotion/

Hi Pedro, thanks for the tip but I have tried this and cannot get Max to see the leapmotion external. I downloaded and unzipped, placing all the files (leapmotion_for_max_master) inside the "externals" folder; autocomplete in Max only offers [leapmotion.play] and leapmotion.record]. I keep getting "leapmotion: no such object", even though I can open the helpfiles.

After several attempts, removing all traces and reinstalling to default folder name, in the externals folder, I can confirm that this is not user error. The external called [leapmotion] is "no such object"

Sorry, it seems the download link now refers to github and there's no compiled version in the main page, but if you click on releases, there's a compiled version for Windows and for Mac.
https://github.com/JulesFrancoise/leapmotion-for-max/releases 

Pedro, once again many thanks - you're a gentleman! I confirm that the download file linked immediately above works. Note: there's a .dll file in the unzipped folder (x64/86) that must be copied into \Cycling '74\Max 7\resources\support, for it to work.

I know this is an old thread, but any clue on how to install this on Windows 10 machine for Max 8. The Max7/resources/support folder does not exist.  I normally work on a Mac and I have a student trying to install this on a Windows machine. Thanks .

Recently I discovered problem using @lighting_enable 1 parameter. A strong light peak always appears in a dark area of the shadow. This happens only with gl3, not with gl2.

I'm using MBP M1 pro, but the problem is in the native version of Max, but also in the emulated (Rosetta 2) application.

according to the max documentation, the depth texture is encoded in the alpha channel of the second texture when @capture is set to 2.

in this patch I try to get the depth texture via [jit.gl.pass], but it doesn't work, and I can't understand why.

what is the best way to get the depth texture from [jit.gl.node] @capture = 2 ?
