I was patching away this evening and went to insert a

"/" object and by accident I typed in "/6" instead of

"/ 6"... object with 7 inlets and 1 outlet appeared

instead of the usual [/ ] object with 2 inlets and 1

outlet. What is it? What does it do? It has no help

file. It seems to output a signal. The first inlet

doesn't seem to accept anything. When I mouse over

the other outlets I get "Noise-Tone Channel 1"

"Frequency Channel 1" "Volume Channel 1" "Noise-Tone

Channel 2" "Frequency Channel 2" "Volume Channel 2".

"/6" is not in my distro of max 4.5.6 (i'm a bit jealous)

If you did not make it yourself you must have downloaded something called "/6" to your max search path - use your computer's search to find it - try double clicking on the object and see what happens...

"/6" is not in my distro of max 4.5.6 (i'm a bit jealous)

your ear detects sounds with a masking

It's just an idea...
There are loads of objects not documented in max especialy when you look at
the inspector windows and also the 
"file preferences" patch...
Very interesting things there....

Although the page says you'll need NumPad, not the cheaper iGesture  
Pad, a few people
have said they both work.

The only way I can get my iGesture pad to work with Max is to include the Pink Twins igesture object and the hi object in the same patch. The igesture won't output any data, but the hi object will. I am still trying to decipher the data stream; most of it is fairly straight forward.

Your "East" theory doesn't hold. I life 4 km from the Dutch-German

border and I get a "No such object" error. Just as I suspected.

I think this all a major setup to introduce some new movie or

something. Just like the giants evereywhere! There everywhere!
