 is end of life since long. The goto solution for using a DMX USB Pro recently was using the serial object directly.

I wanted to start learning to write Max externals, and I chose to create an external for the DMX USB Pro.

A beta version of the package is available here: 

https://github.com/janmech/jam/releases/tag/1.0-beta

https://github.com/janmech/jam/releases/tag/1.0

 for sending and receiving DMX data from the interface  and

 for use with audio signals (sending DMX data only).

To install, download and unpack the zip package and copy it to the Max Packages folder. On first load of the externals Max might ask you to remove the quarantine attribute. Just confirm and continue (I don't have a paid Apple developer account, that's why). 

The externals are compiled for MacOS 10.15 and later and should load on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

Looking forward for feedback and if there is interest in continuing this little project also collaborators are very welcome!

, the classic Moog ladder filter simulation originally implemented in Pure Data by Miller Puckette.

bob~ models the Moog transistor ladder using Runge–Kutta numerical integration of a nonlinear differential equation, following work by Stilson, Stinchcombe and Huovilainen. It’s a very interesting approach compared to more common digital ladder approximations, because the solver integrates the circuit dynamics directly and includes a nonlinear saturation stage.

The port happened a bit unexpectedly: during a recent training session, a student brought up the original bob~ implementation and we started discussing it. That conversation made me want to port it to Max and make it available as a simple external.

 and contributors for the original bob~ implementation in Pure Data.

If anyone finds it useful, or wants to experiment further with nonlinear ladder models inside Max, feel free to use or modify it.

I would like to create a kind of whiteboard in Max (like a very simplified version of the sketchbook or many others). 

I'm creating a project with the graphic tablet where I detect parameters such as pressure, tilt etc. through a wacom object: I thought it would be interesting to draw simple lines or curves and to map sound parameters to create complex textures. Having few skills in this language, I used LCD object as a starting point to direct the data stream, however so limited in the position where the object is located and this is not at all comfortable !!

Is it possible to create a "whiteboard" in another window using jitter (I never used jitter)? I'd like to do things like: 

increase the thickness of the pen or map the pressure to changes a gray scale (maybe it will be possible with the 

object??) and other things that are done within these whiteboards.

Another question: after deriving the values ​​of xy (e.g. after drawing the strokes of anything), Is it possible to insert this data list to faithfully reconstruct that drawing within this hypothetical whiteboard?In practice, after saving the data within a coll, I'd like to recall them to reconstruct the path referred to that data..

P.S. I attach an extract of the patch that I have adapted for a mouse tracker for easy convenience for you (view in presentation mode).

I'm trying to figure out a way to implement a physical mass-spring-damper model in Max. Does anybody have an idea how I could do that?

I want to connect 5 faders with imaginary springs with each other. If I move one it should affect the others.

I figured out that there were a bunch of pmpd objects, that did the job, and where you could even define the damping and stiffness of the springs. Unfortunately these object don't seem to work anymore.

is there a way for thispatcher (or any other object) of scrolling the actual patcher on the x-axis? (I don't want to pack everything in a bpatcher and do it with offsets)...

Hi, I'm pretty new to Max and enjoying it a lot but I've never been a programmer so there's a lot to wrap my head around. I am trying to build a step sequencer driven by tempo-locked phasor~, but I want the phasor shape to be "warped" by a function object, basically a tempo-synched complex modulation curve. I'm confident in my idea but I can't figure out how to make phasor~ drive the function, since it outputs a signal and function wants a float input. I imagine I need to use some sort of mediating buffer but I don't know enough to make that work. Any ideas, or examples I could look to? I haven't been able to find any. Thanks!

I'd like to find a simple and effective way to press my keys and have Max store the pitch in different messages. 

Instead of sitting and putting everything in manually after finding a good chord, it would be lovely if I could make a sequence that remembers what I've played. I'm only thinking about chords, not single tones.

I'm slightly stumped as to how best proceed in making this FM synth polyphonic; if anyone could point me in the right direction or suggest some patchers to look at that would be greatly appreciated!
