rob rob's icon

Hey at all,

im very new to max msp and I hope someone can help me here. I try to explain what I want to do. I have an audio file that should send, after some second or minutes (at a certain point), a signal from the computer that running max msp to a dmx device. I have an usb to dmx device. How could i archive this in max msp? I will give you any further information and will try to explain it better ;)

thanks a lot for any help
cheers rob

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

You have to make Playback Object that outputs elapsed time.
You read that time and when it reaches desired point, make it bang
to send whatever message needs to be sent to dmx.
Options depend on how many time points You need,
how many sound files etc
One good start would be sfplay with time outlet.
Have a look in the patch.
That is very simple solution
