sluzi in Max 5

Ben Hession's icon

Hi,

Has anyone got the sluzi object to work in Max 5. I've recently downloaded it from http://www.publicbeta.cx/max/.

I can't install it. I haven't used it in Max 4 so I don't know if it's Max or me.

Thanks

If you can't get it to work you should be able to recreate it fairly easily with [metro] and [counter]. Give it a go but feel free to ask if you need any pointers.

Your abstraction has issues with the grain for line.

Why not just use metro&counter instead? Uzi was designed to be a too-
fast replacement for metro and counter, anyway.

I just thought it contained fewer moving parts then metro/counter.
Also, I don't see the problem -- if I test it with timer & counter, I
seem to get the expected number of bangs at the expected rate....

Sorry. I just wasn't initializing your solution properly. I had edited
it to use patcherargs, and didn't do a good job of that. It works as
expected, once I fixed it.

That said, it does take more objects than the metro/counter solution.
Here's the metro/counter solution with extraneous stuff stripped out:

And, I'm big enough to admit it, that although I assumed that line
would be more efficient than metro/counter (which is why I did it that
way to begin with), your version seems to use less CPU, so I'm
rewriting my sluzi abstraction & standing corrected....

This is how I do it with counter and metro - same output behavior as uzi.

best,

save as metroUzi.maxpat:

Mine does what I said it does (reproduces the output behavior of uzi), just missing the control. Yours is better though ;)

Stefan's does do one very important Uzi thing that yours doesn't: it
accepts an int into its left inlet to set the number of bangs, and
start banging.

",just missing the control"

Yes, I know, and it accepts all the other controls typical to uzi that mine doesn't (break, resume, etc.).
