 release brings new Parameter visibility options, Max for Live mapping overlay / automation dots to jspainter, and bug fixes for Jitter, ABL objects, Max for Live on Push 3 Standalone, and more. Take a look at the change log below or on the

 namespace, the ability to MIDI map inports, Runner Image support for the new Raspberry Pi Imager 2.0.0, and much more.

Additionally, we’ve added some new objects (midiflush, kbm.data, scl.data), expanded data loading capabilities, made some improvements to the Target Export Sidebar (load time, potential crashes, new options), and fixed a handful of long standing bugs.

Is there a smarter way (like mine shown below) of outputting all the data of a matrixcntrl at once out of its right outlet whilst dialing one of its buttons?

is there a way to smooth out the interpolation of presets especially if line and function is used as an envelope?

I'm trying to make an abstracted UI object in a bpatcher where one argument is the number of outlets. Since these will be created upon its instantiation, they also need to be addressed individually, so they're assigned scripting names as they're created. 

Where I'm getting hung up is: using sprintf to try to send a message to any of these outlets. All I need is to send a bang through one of the outlets at random, but I'm getting an error message 'outlet does not understand "bang"' or 'outlet does not understand "int"', when I've tried using a 1 instead. I'm not sure what's causing this, since in my other experience, [outlet] generally just passes anything it receives.

As far as I can tell, sprintf is my best bet here bc it gives me the flexibility to create and address any number of outlets. Why doesn't sprintf want to let me send data to outlets?

two examples attached that recreate the error: one bpatcher, and one higher-level UI patcher.

i'm looking to recreate a TB-303 in max, more so the pitch envelope, since i am a sucker for the squelchy sounds. Anyone want to point me in a direction? Here is a video link of that lovely sound around 1min 50seconds into it:

Just to point out, i am not looking to recreate a techno sound, i just love that squelchy sound, wanna take it outside the box.

Pardon my ignorance but I am JUST starting to explore max. I would like to make something that shows a randomly changing text. I heard there is a way to use a text as a source and have the lines rearranged.

There is no documentation anywhere, so I have no idea what intended behavior is.

I cannot figure out for the life of me the relationship between "Follow Live Theme" in any setting and my M4L device which gets completely re-styled every time I switch the "Color Theme".

In the past changing theme would change the colors of the things like the window frames, and Max console without affecting the patcher window.  Now I find no way to change the general GUI elements independently of the patches/devices I'm working on.

There is no documentation anywhere, so I have no idea what intended behavior is.

I cannot figure out for the life of me the relationship...

This is a sample-accurate looper i'm feeling a nice ease-and-flow in coding and using, that stems from a good amount of simplicity/minimalism in the design. So I think this might be good to eventually release to the wild as officially and functionally as possible(eventually submitted as a 'package' to the max ecosystem with nice helpfile/refpage/docs etc.). 

I could use some beta-testing! And also help on bettering the helpfile/docs

Attached are the externals for Mac(.mxo), Win(.mxe64), along with helpfile.

And here's a bit of a description to start with:

1) For playback, the signal-inlet controls are 'starting-phase', and 'speed': 

'speed' of '0' turns the object off, any other speed turns it on(w/ de-click fade-ins/outs) 

'starting-phase' is the position at which playback starts, and can be changed on the fly while playing with crossfade-declicking(not while in 'oneshot' mode, though)

2) For recording, the signal-inlets are for 'starting-phase', 'speed'(-1., 0., or 1.; reverse/stop/forward only), overdub, and recording-inputs for left and right

3) For outlets: there are playback outputs(left and right), a playback-phase outlet, and a recording-phase outlet

4) The only messages are "in", "aus"(for playback-loop 'in' and 'out' points),

"rin"/"raus"(for recording-loop 'in' and 'out' points),

and "set"(to change buffer~s referred to)
