I’m trying to take the values from the third row of a matrixctrl (in dial mode) and use them as weighted probabilities to control how likely the gate opens on each step, but I haven’t been able to figure out which objects would be best for handling the probability logic. Basically the value of the dial for each step determines how likely the gate is open so it triggers the sound.

I'm asking because I can't seem to avoid the clicks when I change the loop start, and it would seem logical to conclude that a gen version of this would be a lot more efficient

is there a gen~ version of grooveduck?

I know it gets brought up every once in a while, but I thought I'd post again to see what the interest was out there for getting Max working in Linux.

I jump between Mac, Winows, and Linux (Ubunutu) fairly regularly as no single OS can do everything I need under one roof. I teach at a university in physics and recording arts where I use Max, Wavelab, Nuendo, and Live extensively for demonstrations and PowerPoint/Keynote for presenting. I also run a recording/mastering/post studio where I again use Nuendo & Wavelab. But I also run an acoustic R&D company where I use Solidworks, QCAD, and a few other drawing/modeling tools. And lastly I head up an interdisciplinary research collective that mostly uses Max, but also vvvv, Processing, TouchDesigner, Quartz Composer, etc.

But I'm finding that I prefer Linux above Windows and Mac more and more for the sheer speed, customization, and adaptability even though it's by far the least supported for applications which really bums me out. While I'm a big supporter of open source I'm also happy to pay for good commercial software like Max. i just wish Max, and a few others, would run on Linux.

Max is one of the biggest hangups for me to not spend almost all of my time in Linux. PD is a great program, no doubt, but I rely on a lot of the awesome and amazing externals out there and the great Max community (along with a number of other reasons). Even getting Max to run under Wine would be OK, though native support would be much more preferable. But the iLok stuff only works on Mac/Win, even though I use the software key/internet activation.

So I'm interested if there's any other folks out there in the same boat as myself. I know Linux support is a low priority for most commercial companies that are trying squash bugs and be innovative, but I feel like Ubuntu and other flavors are on the rise and have some very cool potential in the multimedia realm (but that could also be just because I've been getting more into it personally). If there's enough of us requesting maybe we could see a Linux release in the future! Anyone else interested in seeing this happen?

I am creating a patch with an abl.device.roar and I specify the default behaviour with attributes in the object.

It looks like the values of the attributes, even though they are visible in the inspector, do not apply in the object. E.g. I have enabled the 2nd filter and 2nd shaper but I do hear only one, also it is not the correct shaper type and so on.

Only if I set the values again via the attrui object the values are applied.

Can anyone confirm or knows what I am doing wrong?

So I have filenames like C#3 or G#4. I would like to convert this into a 3 element list so I can do comparisons. For this I thought I could use [regexp \w]. Unfortunately, that gets rid of the #. Is there a quick workaround? Am I misunderstanding?

Hi. I am looking for any way to get data out of a dict and into number boxes.

I need to use all the data that is under the "body" tab in "dict data 1", but when I send a "get body" message it just outputs "body dictionary u429010261" rather than the actual data in the "body" key. I also tried using array stuff with it but that didn't work either. Any help would be super appreciated, thanks!

As the title asks, how do you send an array (e.g. [1,2,3,4]) to Javascript in one parameter as opposed to the individual numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 to separate parameters?

The included patch, that simply use [abl.dsp.prism~]'s freeze feature, will work as expected the first time I open the patch. But when I close it and reopen it, it doesn't work anymore.

I need to restart Max9 to get it working again! And sometimes even after restarting Max  the patch doesn't work!

I tried on intel and ARM Macs, macOS13, macOS14.

Trying to figure out a problem with controlling VST instrument parameters via Max data. I have tried using a float box from 0. -> 1. or scaling a dial 0-127 to 0. -> 1 with a line object to lag the numbers.

Unfortunately both attempts caused zippering noise in the vst instruments output. Is there a way to interpolate the data for vst~ to make smooth precise control?
