I know i can change the gain inside a [buffer~] but

Is it possible to check the samples highest point (inside the buffer) and if it is over 0.80 then apply a gain change?

[info~] seems to only report MIDI velocity. I have a feeling [if/then/else] would do this, but not really sure on how to gather the info from [buffer~]

 you'll get the maximum sample, there are also methods to change the gain.

With max you'll get the maximum sample, there are also methods to change the gain.

I tried with (~) and without but i get an error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: buf/op (wrong name: buf/Op)

When you say " you'll get the maximum sample" you mean the sample loaded gets Normalised to the maximum?

Could not load class 'buf.op'

ive tried to load buf.op in 6.1 some time ago ,and i could not do it for some reason . it was strange becasue absence of support for mxj wasnt listed inside release notes . just the ~mxj .

Thanks Patrick, i found the helpfile but honestly its quite hard for me to understand. The gain portion i get but not the "max $1" message. How would i go about using that|? Would i have to take n2 output (393 0.XXXXX) then split it and use the second number and write an [if/then] function of some sort?

Could someone help me out a bit here? :/


In the "max $1" message, the $1 is a placeholder for a variable. The message "max 1" will give you the maximum amplitude for channel 1 of the bufffer in question. You then query the buf.Op, and use the result to set your volume reduction. See attached....

Thanks mattyo, I managed to come up with my own

Nice one, thank you! All noted. Previously i thought of combining the normalize and gain, but never put it together.....Not sure why...

Thanks again!


Apply gain change to buffer IF signal level is over a certain amount
