I structured my patch with subpatcher that act like Tabs. And so far so good :-)

Was wondering if I could also incorporate a feature that would bring to front that subpatch/patch, like I always do, so I put a (front) [thispatcher] inside it, hoping to be able to also have it popup triggering a bang from the outside. But nothing happens.

Is this a feature or a bug? :-P
Any ways to overcome this?
Thanks!

Guy, after a restart it worked. So tabs can also do popups.
Weird that in my case it needed a restart, but nonetheless happy ;-)

do you know the reason why? because you cannot restart all the time

I would like to find a way, to set playing position, with current_song_time, it works if live is running, but i would like change current song time, when live is not running, i can change the time, but live is starting from cursor position.

Thanks, that allmost have i have it now, it's kind of okay, quantization is set to "None", maybe i could read the quantization, set it to "None", and then reset it to old value.
I will give it a shot.

This patch can be built as an application standalone which works fine…

And the same one without jit.gl.render + jit.windows but with jit.world can be built but it doesn't show any window.

First time I see it, am I missing something obvious here?

Hi there,
weird stuff, first time observered.

can-we-use-jit-world-when-building-application-standalones

looks like the jit.world is not properly pulling in the jit.window external. interesting this has never come up before, thanks for the clear patch!

i've fixed this on our end. for now you can either include an invisible jit.window in your patch (with no connections), or you can manually copy the jit.window.mxo from the max.app bundle to your standalone bundle.

Hi Robert, thanks a lot for your answer.
Happy to have helped if it has helped.

I'll try your solution with the invisible jit.window solution asap.
For now I replaced the whole by gl.render + gl.window

Manual copy of the jit.window.mxo in my application bundle works perfectly.

hi there,  I didn't know if it had been fixed..

Can we use jit.world when building application standalones ?

Is there a way to universally disable the ezdac object or at least not have it auto-start when opening help patches / student patches?

Often, the audio auto-starts, is exceptionally loud and it's kind of Russian Roulette if a help file has an ezdac or not..

So I've been working for quite a while now on developing some sort of audio scrubber that will allow me to cleanly move back and forth through an audio clip, and naturally freeze the audio wherever I stop. I have found many fantastic tutorials for granular synths on youtube and on this forum, but unfortunately no matter how I tune them my samples always end up sounding super phasy and nothing like the original.

Recently while scrolling through tiktok I saw someone using an audio scrubber to mess around with the playback of a video clip, and I noticed that the scrubbing and the freezing of the audio was super clean and exactly what I am aiming for. The app I was seeing is called AudioStretch (found here: 

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction as to how I could begin creating something like this in max? What is the key to a clean scrubber/freezer? Cheers!

And of course as soon as I post on here I immediately find the phase vocoder sampler which seems to be a really good start. It's not quite as good as AudioStretch but hopefully with some tinkering I can tune it for my needs.

Uncertainity from the title is there for a reason, because there can be many reasons for this including me overlooking some stuff. 

The issue is about the inconsistency about what live.drop gives as a file path in two different computers.

a-possible-bug-in-live-drop-maybe

Hey Ali,
I think this happens because one of the two computers has the audio file in the search path and the other does not.

Thanks a lot!
So I would assume that the one who does have the audio file in the search path would only output the file name? Is that true?
Is it possible to unify the behavior where live.drop always outputs an absolute path or should I just apply a workaround where I make sure that the folder for the audio files are not in the search path?
By the way I don't have access to the other computer currently, I will check if that one has the folder for the audio files in the search path tomorrow but from intuition it makes sense  that this might be the case.


Looks like it :) :blush:
Aaand it turns out that this object exists since even Max 4.
How did I miss this :)

I am trying to add a frequency shifter to the effect chain I'm working on within gen~. Unlike MSP, I couldn't find a dedicated operator. Looking at the reference for freqshift~ [

https://cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages/msp-ref/freqshift~.html]

 a DIY frequency shifter seems pretty feasible, except for the hilbert~ part. My knowledge of DSP is pretty rudimentary, what would be a solution to recreate the Hilbert transform within gen~? Using a codebox?

Any help/hints/suggestions/best practices would be much appreciated!

hilbert-or-freqshift-in-gen

i did all this in GenExpr quite a while ago, so cannot vouch for it being any good, but maybe it will be useful to you as a start.

i put it in a demo patch for you (patch based on the [hilbert~] helpfile), attached.

Thanks for your help! I'll check it out as soon as I have some time, it's definitely great to have a starting point.


Stkr (or anyone knowledgeable), I'm wondering:  Are these biquad coefficient non-dependant on sampling rate?  I've never seen that before but I'm filter-stupid.

very nice stkr.  Any thought on how to filter out the frequencies that bounce back up from 0Hz. If I have a sine with 50Hz and I set the modulation frequency to -100Hz I get a bounce back to 50Hz. Is there a way to avoid this?

so apparently this behaviour is called "through zero shifting" in the modular world which results in the negativ frequency. It's a cool effect, but I'd rather have a Shifter without through zero capabilities. 

Any hints on how to modify this example?

aha. i should check my posts at less than 8 year intervals, sorry.
@audiomatt, you are absolutely right. these should be samplerate dependent. the funny thing i found out on my travels is that in hilberts the difference is quite small so that everyone (see Max, CSound, Reaktor, etc) seems to ignore this, as it would add so much expense, but i think that is bad so i have since made a better version with coefficients depending on samplerate - i'll see if i can dig it out. the coeffs are done in javascript if i remember so not so useful for gen~only usage.
@beardedclumsybear, i guess i always felt the through zero was the whole point :-) . i must admit, i'd really have to think about this, so no help here right now i am sorry. if anyone has any ideas i'd be very interested.


no problem and thanks for replying.

Yeah, after reading up more it seems that  through zero shifting is a desirable effect. Anyway, for my use case it would not work. Others suggested to filter the signal that will bounce back (negative frequency) before the shifting takes place to avoid it. 

I tried that, but with no success. just filtering the signal before it gets shifted did not get rid of the negative frequency. 

Any help or suggestion would be welcome :)

Struggling with regexp - I need to strip trailing digits, if they exist, from a string. This example works properly for the 

 one. What am I doing wrong? In case you're not in front of Max, my regexp is the following:

regexp-strip-trailing-integer

It works if you to connect the 4th output of regexp also. 
It is named 'unmatched'.

Nothing comes out the "unmatched" outlet when trying the tables2 or tables22 inputs, only the tables one.  I was hoping to get the "correct" output out of just one of the outputs of the object, is that possible?   I struggle with regexp every time I try to use it!  :-) 

You have to connect both outlets of regexp.
1st and 4th.

The processed (=matched) data come from the 1st and those which gave nothing to do (=unmatched) come from the 4th output. If you connect both, you get both.

And yes, I don't understand regex either. I only understand outputs :-)


Ah OK, that makes sense.  I'll need to just do a bit of homework to ensure that I won't have any wonky other stuff coming as an input that would screw things up, but I think what you suggest should work - thank you!

Greetings! I would love to be able to find a way to map the VIZZIE effect objects in Ableton Live so that I can use a macro to turn an effect device on or off instead of having to click the on/off buttons manually. I'm noticing that anything in Max that I enable for MIDI mapping also makes it available for macro mapping as well, which is cool. The normal on/off button on a vizzie effect interface isn't mappable, so I tried using a toggle on the first inlet, and enabling that toggle for MIDI mapping, which Max allows. However, when I save my patch and enable MIDI or macro mapping in Live, that toggle isn't available for mapping . I've checked to make sure "automated and stored" is ticked for the toggle. Any ideas as to what I'm missing? Thanks for your help in advance! (pic attached)

Not sure, but I think mapping in Live requires the Live-specific UI objects (in the Max For Live Objects drop down in the top bar), doesn't work with the bog standard Max UI ones.

Thanks, solved! Tried with live.dial and it works!
